YSL Y EDP Vs Lattafa Fakhar Black
​
Both smell pretty close icl, same overall vibe.
Opening is where they differ a bit.YSL Y is a bit more harsh at first with that strong alcohol hit, while Fakhar is smoother and easier right off the spray.
Performance is not even close though. YSL Y is straight beast mode for me ,easily 12+ hours. Fakhar lasts like 4–5 hours max.
After the dry down, you can immediately tell YSL uses better ingredients. It smells more refined and kinda “introduces itself” to your nose instead of just slapping you with projection. Fakhar projects decently for like 2 hours, then it’s basically a skin scent.
I mainly got Fakhar because I didn’t wanna use an expensive (atleast for me) fragrance daily , and honestly I’m not disappointed. It does the job well as a cheaper everyday option, but YSL Y is clearly on another level.
