Fakhar Black
Fakhar Black by Lattafa is a masculine-leaning eau de parfum from 2021 in the budget price tier. It opens with apple, bergamot and lavender, moves into violet, geranium and jasmine and dries down to vanilla, sandalwood and guaiac wood. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
An affordable take on Parfums de Marly Layton.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Apple Crunchy and tart or soft and red, depending on the treatment.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
Heart
- Violet Powdery, sweet and a bit retro. Parma Violets in flower form.
- Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Guaiac Wood Smoky, tarry and slightly sweet. Like a bonfire and roses.
