Lattafa Fakhar Black is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022. Fakhar Black opens with Bergamot, Ginger, and Apple, settles into a heart of Lavender, Geranium, Juniper, and Sage, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, Tonka Bean, and Amberwood. Lattafa's Fakhar Black carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This YSL Y EDP dupe is a bit of a mixed bag. Some think it's a stellar, budget-friendly stand-in, especially after some 'maceration'. Others find it falls flat, lacking the original's depth and often suffering from poor longevity. Definitely a 'try before you buy' due to its divisive synthetic qualities.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its fresh, clean, and mass-appealing profile makes it a safe bet for casual wear and the office, with many reviewers specifically calling it 'office and gym safe.' However, inconsistent performance reports, with some finding it light after initial projection, mean it might struggle for impact in formal or evening date settings.

About

Fakhar Black bursts forth with a crisp, juicy apple and zesty bergamot, underscored by a fresh kick of ginger. The heart unfolds into a clean, aromatic blend of lavender, juniper, and geranium, evoking a shower-fresh soapiness. As it settles, a foundation of warm amberwood, cedar, and earthy vetiver emerges, sweetened by tonka bean, delivering a woody-fresh drydown that's both masculine and approachable.
