The Ultimate Dumb Reach
** The Scent Profile **
Lattafa Fakhar Black is a hybrid clone, primarily targeting YSL Y EDP but mixing in elements of Invictus. It is the definition of "Blue Fragrance", fresh, sweet, synthetic, and universally liked. The apple and ginger opening is crisp and energetic. It tones down the aggressive sage note found in YSL Y, making it smoother and slightly sweeter. It lacks the sharp, piercing metallic edge of the original, which many users actually prefer.
** Performance Reality Check **
Moderate. Unlike the "beast mode" YSL Y EDP, Fakhar sits in the 6-hour range. It projects well for the first hour but settles down quickly. It’s not a room filler, but it’s present.
** The Verdict **
The bottle looks fantastic, and the juice is the perfect "I don't know what to wear" solution. Office safe, gym safe, date safe. It’s not unique, and it won't win awards for artistic merit, but it simply smells good to everyone around you.
