Fakhar Black
Fresh Spicy Oriental · Arabian Perfume · EDP
Fresh apple and ginger at the start. Clean lavender and herbal sage in the middle. Warm amberwood and tonka bean at the finish. The fragrance community has compared this to YSL Y EDP for years — and the consensus has not changed.
Fresh at the Start. Warm All Day Long.
Opens with apple and bergamot — crisp, juicy, and immediately modern. Ginger adds a spiced bite that sharpens the opening and stops it from reading as purely fruity. Fresh bottles can have a slightly sharper quality that mellows beautifully within a few weeks — most reviewers note this as a positive development rather than a flaw.
The heart builds an aromatic backbone with lavender, sage, and juniper berries — clean, herbal, and quietly complex. Geranium introduces a subtle floral-metallic warmth that gives the heart its modern, slightly airy character. This is where Fakhar Black most closely mirrors YSL Y EDP — polished, structured, and genuinely impressive at its price point.
The base settles into amberwood, tonka bean, cedar, and vetiver — warm, creamy-woody, and long-lasting. Tonka bean adds a smooth, slightly sweet depth while vetiver introduces a dry, earthy elegance underneath. This is the stage reviewers consistently praise — 8–12 hours on skin, with fabric cling extending well beyond that.
90–95% of YSL Y EDP. The community tested it, argued about it,and reached a consensus years ago. The value case is settled.
What's Inside the Bottle
How Long It Lasts & How Strong It Is
8–12 hours on skin. The amberwood-tonka base holds powerfully on fabric — well into the next day.
Moderate to strong. Present and noticed in every setting — without ever crossing into overwhelming territory.
Apply 2–3 sprays on wrists and neck. Do not over-apply — multiple reviewers confirm this is stronger than it initially reads.
Fakhar Black vs YSL Y EDP — What's the Difference? YSL Y EDP is the benchmark fresh-spicy oriental — apple, ginger, lavender over an amberwood-tonka base. Fakhar Black shares the same DNA and has been rated at 90–95% similarity by the fragrance community. The main differences: Fakhar Black's lavender reads slightly soapier and fresh bottles can have a sharper opening that mellows with time. Longevity rivals or exceeds the original. The value gap is significant.

The fresh apple-ginger opening handles warm weather. The warm amberwood-tonka base earns Fall and Winter credentials. One of the rare fragrances that earns the year-round label without qualification.
Broadly versatile across every context. Reviewers consistently rate it as one of the most occasion-flexible fragrances at any price point — school, work, formal events, late nights out.
