Just bought my first three fragrances this weekend — didn’t realize Fakhar is similar to YSL Y (for some reason, I prefer Fakhar — maybe it’s the citrus in Y that throws me off?).

That’s why I have been wearing fakhar (ysl y clone) recently because it’s good and it’s versatile but I feel like it doesn’t last.

Lattafa Fakhar - Clone of YSL Y?.
A Reddit post, Feb 2025, 64 points
Fakhar is very close to my nose to YSL Y.
A Reddit comment, Apr 2025, 48 points
Fakhar is na amazing dupe of YSL Y, but I recently got Sheikh Al Shuyukh Final Edition and I find it lasting a couple more hours on my skin and feels a little bit more masculine than Fakhar so if you can, I’d make the change there.
A Reddit comment, Jul 2024, 46 points
Fakhar is supposed to be a dupe of Ysl Y and Nasheet of Nishane Ani, cant really talk about the accuracy of the dupes since I haven’t smelled either of the og‘s myself.

If u want good performance then lattafa fakhar and if u want the closest YSL y clone then armaf Odyssey mega.

I want to get YSL Y EDP for Winter and in the Winter it gets very windy with the coldness in my area, and I wanna know if Fakhar is a good cheap alternative to using Y Edp and if others will smell it near me like they can smell Y Edp.

Lataffa Fakhar - YSL Y edp The Clone has better performance on me and smells slightly better imo.
A Reddit comment, Feb 2025, 25 points
Never understood why Fakhar gets the crown of being the best YSL Y clone, Mega comes so close to the original in terms of scent profile and the dry down is exactly the same as the original.
A Reddit comment, May 2025, 24 points
Facts 😂 I brought out my Fakhar and told my students it was a clone for YSL Y, and he was like “oh, I brought that one today” and pulled that out 😂
A Reddit comment, May 2025, 17 points
Don't get me wrong they both smell nice, but not similar to the point with what these creators are saying after spraying it and its 99% similar after 30 s.

Lattafa Fakhar- Bought this after hearing it is a clone of Ysl Y Edp.But got totally disappointed, it is not even 50% similar & the smell feels very synthetic from beginning to end.

I would go for the fakhar judging that it's a y edp clone.
A Reddit comment, Apr 2024, 6 points
No I would not say Fakhar is an exact clone that can replace Y EDP, there’s a lot of the notes missing and the projection and longevity is only decent.it’s still a good fragrance and I can’t complain for the price being 1/5th.
A Reddit post, Dec 2025, 6 points
Ysl Y smells synthetic and Fakhar smells like 85% similar to Ysl y and I enjoy it’s difference (I have both).

Well, then you can't say fakhar is the best clone of ysl y edp available in the market.
A Reddit comment, Jun 2024, 5 points
Now, all of thos are over 30$ but I will say that if you want some clones under that, you can go with Lattafa Fakhar (YSL Y clone), 9AM Dive (close to a Bleu de Chanel), Armaf Ventana (Dior Sauvage), Acqua Essenziale Blu by Salvatore Ferragammo (Versace Dylan Blue clone/inspired by).

Some more good clones from Lataffa are YOUR Touch (Stronger with you clone), Oud for greatness (Oud for glory clone), Suqraat (ADG Profumo clone) and Fakhar (YSL Y clone) but there are alot more budget clones that are really similar and just as good in quality and longevity.

I'd buy decants rather than blindbuy first if it's possible, otherwise I'd go with Lattafa Fakhar (YSL Y dupe) or Armaf Milestone (Creed Millisime Imperial).

And honestly, MA Yeah is a better YSL Y clone than Fakhar... it's a lot smoother, less ozonic and harsh, and is less than $25 on Amazon or TripleTraders.

Fakhar is a very good alternative to ysl y and at the price its going for its a no brainer … Dial up your sprays if your worried about performance but this is a easy blind buy for a newbie

Oh I know, I'm some people, I buy arab fragrances as well, I'm just saying I'd like to buy YSL Y, instead of betting on Fakhar, which I believe it's not even a dupe as such, it's like an inspiration and it also switches the note of pear for apple, so I consider it to be another fragrance completely.
