There are lots of Lattafa clones that fly under the radar, such as: - Suqraat (ADG Profumo) - Raed Luxe (D&G K ) - Najdia (Invictus aqua) - Ramz silver (Ultra male) - Afkaar (Instant crush) That's off the top of my head. There's definitely more.
@@I-47-I They do in terms of scent profiles (based on the ones I have). But I rate Lattafa higher because of their more consistent quality, better performance, and cheaper price (at least where I live).
@@mr.therockjohnson5394 Dream Catcher its a Clone of the One EDP... I own both.. and trust me they are INDISTINGUISHABLE.. In the Air or Up Close a 99% Clone i would Say..
The first 30 minutes is very nice. In fact very, very nice. The fruity notes in the opening middle blend well with the florals and spices in the middle. This is where this one shines. I found the ending to be dry, woody and the Vetiver really came through…quite masculine. Didn’t get much Tonka and probably could use a bit more of that. I think it’s a spring/ fall fragrance. I actually got 2-3 hours of projection with six sprays in the cold weather.
I have this for 6 months. To me is 67% EDP and 33% EDT. The real Y EDP clone from Lattafa is Sheikh Shuyukh Final Edition. I adore this one and got a backup bottle for about 14USD in Bulgaria.
It’s about time you mentioned Lattafa Fakhar. I am glad about that. As per my understanding YSL Y EDT is similar with Lattafa Fakhar; YSL Y EDP is similar with Paris Corner’s Beyond(with similar bottle), as it has the Sage opening that stays for 30 mins that is missing from Lattafa Fakhar.
@@ItDoesntMATTERwhatYourNameIS just got it and tested. Id say 2 hours performance maybe. Beginning smells quite harsh and not so nice, like an old soap. I will maturace it to hope for an improvement in performance. Especialöy since its been filled in 2024.
This is just the video I needed. I've been holding out on buying YSL Y for a while now. My limit is about $80-ish for a fragrance and since Y is running $130 and always sold out on discounters, I've never bought it. I've ordered Lattafa Fakhar and I'm excited to try it! Thanks!! 🌹👃🏻
Same here brother. I recently got Club de Nuit and freaking love it and from my first wear each day I get complimented and I wanted to branch out to YSL Y EDP especially but with the price point I kept stalling until I saw this video and immediately went and ordered this Lattafa perfume and I can’t wait for it to come. Especially with it’s price point it could be a potential everyday smell for me since where I am it’s hot 24/7
@@Ruiimai if any one interested in update yes take fakhar lattafa it is a great clone and as ash said ..i have it from 2 months ago and im so happy with it
I just got my bottle today and I honestly can't believe how close it is. Now I don't have to decide between the EDP and the Le Parfum. I have this and I'll go ahead and spend the money on the Le parfum.
This was an absolute pleasant surprise! I love the y line and I find this one being not a strong is perfect to wear in my barbershop, it doesn’t bother clients, and if I get hot it smells even better just not as strong.
Just got mine in yesterday and the longevity is kinda crazy on my skin. Even after showing the night before and waking up I can still smell it on my hand
I bought this a couple weeks back and this stuff is fantastic for the price. Will definitely be rocking this a lot this summer. Shoutout to the youtube commenter "A K" for recommending it to me lol
i know you've done the house of Franck Olivier before. I highly recommend checking out Blue Touch (Aqua Di Gio), Black Touch (TDH), Bamboo in the dark blue box (Sauvage EDT), Sunrise Urban Ice (Invictus Aqua). They also have Oud fragrances as well. They make a lot of cheap affordable clones. Gerparly makes amazing clones as well. They have a clone Versace line. Johan B rich Icone (Eros EDT), Johan B red (Eros flame), Johan Blu (Pour Homme). They make many more including some Lacoste fragrances as well.
Best Y EDP clone in my opinion is Zara London, used them side by side and after 3 hours you can't tell the difference. A lot of people says it stays as the opening for Y, but in my skin it does change. Also for 14 bucks.. It's a great blind buy, of course expect a "simpler" fragrance.
You've single handedly, in all of your Ashness.... you've made this fragrance "a thing" now, lol. You have influence, Ash. 👍👍 I wouldn't have given this a second glance..... Until now! Thanks, Ash! 👃👃👃👃
Smellgooder No! It was already a thing waaayyy before he pumped this video out. I bought Fakhar several months before he posted this, along with many from my country.
The middle eastern houses def display way better than what we have here, Arabian Oud in particular has killer and prestige presentation down to the bag each fragrance comes in.
I've know about this frag for months but wasnt sure if I should grab it. I like YSL Y EDP but i dont love it enough to spend the money on it. I think ill grab it with my next frag haul.
For the record, I already got this in. And it is a great scent, but the dry down isn’t as apple forward. You’ll get kind of the same apple feel in the opening though, but that only lasts about maybe 1 hour at best. 🤷♂️ If you have the money, go for the real thing. If not, then just imagine this scent but missing a long lasting apple note towards the end.
@@sebbywap3986"Crazy nice"? You must be joking. Their bottles are hideous most of the time. CDN line bottles are just downright ridiculous lol Fantastic clones house but they definitely need to step up their game when it comes to presentation
@@jihigh482lattafa has got one of the best presentation in the game, most of their presentation is better than the presentation of the original. Lattafa fakhar presentation is very beautiful look at the box better than most niche presentation box. The bottle is absolutely beautiful. I know it's people like you that will say boadecea's bottle is great work of art. Meanwhile that bottle and this absolutely look alike. Compare the presentation of khamra, with that of oud for greatness and tell me which is better.
@@freethinker254I guess beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. That being said "one of the best presentation in the game" is kinda wild. They have some decent looking bottles but as far as I'm concerned most of them look atrocious. Still my favorite fragrance house lol
Yeah, I've been using this for months now and wonder if anyone would talk about it cause for the price you're paying for this you really can't complain. Smell awesome although I would really prefer if the sweetness is turned down a notch. For what I'm paying in my country it's only about USD 12.98
bought this one right away after this video. It might be expensive in The US since it is hard to get the supply. Got it for MYR 53 or roughly USD 12 here in Malaysia.
@@Lukaa98511 the bad part is that, even though it smells better than Fakhar, it is not great when the weather is over 30*C (like with Y EDP), but works great in warm weather (not hot) and in cold weather
Got mine from Jomashop for the same price, maybe a buck or two less. Lattafa has some bangers, though I think this is their best non middle-eastern type of scent.
Hey Ash i think the Best Dior Sauvage Clone is „Writer“ from the House Yve de Systelle / Cyrus (The name of the House Changed later from „Yve de Systelle“ into „Cyrus“). „Ventana“ or „ Pride of Armaf“ from Armaf, is not the best clone for Sauvage in my opinion. „Writer“ Is available everywhere in Germany around 20€. If this brand is available in US stores then I would check it, worth it !
I just recently bought this fragrance. YES thank you! Potion bottle from those old school games. I've been staring at the bottle wondering why does it look so familiar? 🤔
I've been using it for about a month and i must say I'm impressed with the presentation and the scent.but it only lasts for about 3-4 hours and only projects for about half an hour.
Yeah. I wore it in 80 degree weather other day....4 sprays, 1 of them on shirt. Not much projection, but great smell. Perhaps overspraying can compensate?
I frequently travel to Cambodia and Vietnam, spraying 6-7 shots still only lasts about 4hours or so. I’d also like to add that it doesn’t smell as nice as Y EDP when you hit the dry down in tropical weather.
@@a.vaidya8024 I bought a new bottle a week back, but it not lasting more like it’s there only for 4 hours max. Have you faced the same issue with the new bottle or did it perform well from the start?
Ash, there is new clone of Versace Man Eau Fresh in the market....called Armaf Aura Fresh. Do try. Along with that Riiffs Imperial Blue...dupe of Versace Eros
@@baydirman5854 it's smells amazing....you'll get a strong 6 hrs or performance...I'd use it for a date night or club visit. You won't be disappointed and you'll get compliments for sure
Doesn't smell as much like Y EDP as I was hoping. Also smells more like Invictus Aqua than I was hoping. Bubblegum sweetness normally bothers me but not in this case. I like it as a more generic everyday alternative to Y but wouldn't spend more than $30 total on this.
How is it now that is has had time to mature. I usually wear a frag and let it sit for a month or two. Did it with lataffa Asad and ameer Al oudh intense. They really shine now. Both are amazing. This is on my radar next! Thanks for your vids! I’ve got 100 plus frags in my arsenal lol
Call me trash, but I love the Middle Eastern brands bottles. When people outside the community see them they think they are interesting and with a foreign sounding name they think they are more expensive than they really are.
Because Mont Blanc Explorer is an Aventus copy with a twist, it is said to be "INSPIRED BY" fragrance, but even though Lattafa Fakhar Black is Y edp with with a twist it is still a clone!... Why not just call a clone a clone?...
My take from an amateur: I sprayed both. Not a 1:1 clone. Maybe like. 65-70% resemblance. I like the YSL Y better. Imagine YSL Y but missing the citrus that’s this. Honestly would have to try more clones to see which one I’d recommend. I’d tell my friend to just get the real deal tbh :/
This turns into a skin scent in about 2 hours, even after a heavy application. I think the clone houses are minimizing the US brands by watering them down significantly. That being said, if you can afford the OG, go for it. You really can tell the difference.
Or maybe it doesn't work on your skin. Why do you Bozos always talk as if your experience is the only one that matters. Always with the reformulation paranoia.
Maybe on skin, but on my clothes this stuff projects really nicely for at least 6 hours before starting to come back down. I can easily still smell it on my collar by the end of the night
This one doesn’t smell like y edp whatsoever to my nose. Not sure if I somehow got a fake or what’s going on. Smells more like Lattafa najdia or some invictus type scent - no apple, no sage
Thanks for the video.Ete Sauvage by Alexandria seems to be the best sauvage elixir clone out there.It would be nice if you can test it and give your opinion to it.
Can anyone confirm if lataffa fakhar homme EDP is the same one?? The perfume shop is telling me it's the same thing. And its due to the lighting of the picture?? I'm just not sure.
Did you ever test 4 Rosso from Roberto Ugolini ? Its a niche fragrance and its an extrait if you dont know it you reeeally have to smell that it is GREAT
