People say: Commenters differ: one is amazed at how close Fakhar Black is, one reads it as closer to Y EDT than Y EDP and lacking the sage opening, and one calls it a different perfume, not a clone.
Where people say Fakhar Black falls short
- One wearer says it is a different perfume, not a clone 1

Fragrance Battle for the Best YSL Y EDP Clone! | Lattafa vs. Armaf vs. Maison Alhambra (opens in a new tab)I tried a lot of YSL Y dupes, and Lattafa Fakhar Black Is the worst of all. This Is not a clone, not a dupe. This Is another perfume.

GREAT CHEAP YSL Y EDP Clone - Lattafa Fakhar Black Review - Yves Saint Laurent Y EDP CLone (opens in a new tab)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.

GREAT CHEAP YSL Y EDP Clone - Lattafa Fakhar Black Review - Yves Saint Laurent Y EDP CLone (opens in a new tab)I just got my bottle today and I honestly can't believe how close it is.
