SOTD: Fakhar Gold extrait by Lattafa 06/01/2026
This is my favourite from the Fakhar line Gold extrait is a very pleasant Amber Woody Oriental with a touch of sweet & spice in the mix. It's actually hot a 1 million vibe to it, nothing identical, but you do get a touch of the parfum DNA here. The same spicy warmth blended with a creamy sweetness and a white floral touch. It opens with a bright, energetic burst of Grapefruit that quickly mellows, supported by the warm, aromatic spice of Cardamom and a subtle hint of pepper for lift. The heart introduces a creamy, sweet white floral element from the Tuberose, which gives the scent a smooth quality. A new one for me, Solar Notes suggest a warm, sun-baked sweetness, while Artemisia adds a green, slightly bitter complex to the mix. The base is where all the good stuff is kept, its rich, warm, and long-lasting. Amber gives a sweet, resinous warmth, while Cashmeran adds a musky-woody texture. The Leather and Labdanum provide depth, giving it a sensual, slightly dark, and enveloping finish. As an extrait, you would expect something that would last and for the money, this don't disappoint. 6+ hrs on my skin with a lot more on clothes which is always the case. For it half life, it has a significant projection that can fill a room. After this, it settles into a strong scent bubble that is easily noticeable to those around you. This is perfect for cold weather wear and an ideal night time scent. Whether your looking for something in the vein of 1 million parfum, on a budget. Or just want to try a solid ME scent without breaking the bank, you won't go far wrong with this one. My Rating: 7/10 Scent: 2 Longevity: 2 Sillage: 2 Y/N: 1
