Fakhar Rose

Juicy Tuberose Delight - Sweet Floral Magic from Lattafa Lattafa Fakhar Rose is an absolute gem - a lush, feminine floral that's sweet, juicy, and incredibly uplifting. It's quickly become one of my favorite Lattafa discoveries, blending creamy white flowers with fruity brightness and a cozy vanilla base for an addictive, romantic vibe. It opens with a burst of juicy fruits (lots of pineapple and pomegranate vibes for me, with aldehydes adding sparkle) and lily freshness - it's sweet and bubbly at first, almost like grown-up bubblegum or tropical punch. Fresh from the bottle, there's a typical Lattafa alcohol edge/booziness, but it fades fast. For the heart, sweet tuberose takes the spotlight - creamy, indolic, and gorgeous - blended with jasmine, gardenia, ylang-ylang, rose, honeysuckle, and peony. It turns into this soft, powdery floral bouquet that's elegant yet playful, with just enough sweetness from the fruits to keep it lively and feminine. In the dry down, vanilla, white musk, sandalwood, and ambroxan settle into a warm, powdery, slightly woody finish that's clean, cozy, and lingering. It feels luxurious and skin-like - romantic, sophisticated, and perfect for feeling beautiful. The performance is strong for the price! Fakhar Rose projects nicely for 4 to 6 hours (creating a lovely scent trail that gets noticed without overwhelming), then sits closer but holds strong. On clothes especially, it lasts all day and often into the next. I love spraying on fabric as well as skin for that extra boost. As with my other Lattafa and Armaf bottles, I macerated this one for weeks (initial sprays then cool/dark storage), and it transformed - the sharpness softened, the fruits brightened smoothly, and the tuberose became even creamier and more prominent. Patience really pays off here! It's versatile for spring/summer days, evenings out, or when I want a joyful, feminine mood-lifter. Compliments roll in whenever I wear it - people always ask what smells so sweet and beautiful. It always lifts my spirits and is my go-to joyful mood booster. If you love tuberose-forward florals with fruity sweetness (think Givenchy L'Interdit vibes but more generous and affordable), this is a winner. Not overly heavy or mature - it's fun, addictive, and perfect for rose/tuberose lovers exploring Middle Eastern houses. Highly recommend - I'll definitely keep this in rotation and maybe grab a backup! Longevity: Long Lasting (8-10+ hours) Sillage: Moderate to Strong Rating: 4.5/5

Fakhar Rose – Lattafa Un perfume floral, elegante... y sorprendentemente familiar. Voy a hacer esta reseña con cuidado y respeto, porque cuando se habla de dupes hay muchos matices. Se dice mucho que Fakhar Rose es un clon del famoso L’Interdit de Givenchy (). Y es cierto: tiene un aire parecido. Sin embargo, desde mi experiencia —y mi nariz—, este perfume se parece muchísimo más a Elie Saab Le Parfum. Para mí, la semejanza es de un 99%. Si lo comparamos con L’Interdit, a Fakhar Rose le falta ese “no sé qué” oscuro, denso, jugoso y dulce que hace tan seductora a la creación de Givenchy. L’Interdit tiene un carácter más misterioso, profundo y envolvente. En cambio, Fakhar Rose es floral, limpio y solar, más cercano a la feminidad luminosa y sofisticada de Elie Saab. Desde el primer instante se percibe una flor de azahar intensa y exquisita —aunque no aparezca declarada en su pirámide— que lo emparenta directamente con el clásico de Elie Saab. Luego, el jazmín toma protagonismo y le da ese aire sensual y embriagador, marcando el corazón del perfume. Fakhar Rose es absolutamente femenino, elegante y sexy, ideal para quienes aman los perfumes florales blancos con carácter. No tiene la intensidad misteriosa de L’Interdit, pero sí ese brillo floral sofisticado que Elie Saab logró tan bien. Por su precio, es una joya dentro de la perfumería árabe. Una opción excelente para tener en colección, especialmente si te fascinan los perfumes florales bien construidos. Yo, que tengo una relación lujuriosa con L’Interdit y todos sus flankers (sí, los amo casi todos), reconozco que este perfume no logra ese mismo impacto sensual... pero sí ofrece una alternativa deliciosa, con identidad propia y una calidad sorprendente para su categoría.

This is my first review ever posted but I was compelled to give my thoughts on this polarizing fragrance so please bear with me. I bought this in May 2024, sprayed a few times and then let it mature for a couple of weeks. I was so disappointed because it was very sweet and overpowering and not what I read in the reviews about being classy and soft for warm weather. It did smell strong of grape soda and was heavy. So I put it away and just sprayed when I was at home in my room to “air it out”. Well it’s now April 2026, and I sprayed myself (2 sprays) after a shower and it is so beautiful! It’s now much softer, and instead of the grape soda smell, it’s more like the powder sweet tart candies in the roll- called smarties (in the US), in the best way possible. It’s much softer, not cloying, or overly sweet and has a touch of pepper or peony in the dry down while still smelling like a sweet candy rose. I only recommend this if you have patience to wait and spray it over a span of time to “air it out” or you purchase an aged bottle. If you already own this and haven’t used it in a while give it another try. It is a sophisticated fragrance, not “old lady” or vintage, and not sexy, so not sure how the ladies in their 20’s will like this. To me, it comes off very “womanly” or very feminine without being too “girly”. I cannot comment on best seasons to wear it but if you are not an over sprayer you can probably get away with year round. For a visual, I picture Persephone in a spring garden or flowered pasture not frolicking but walking confidently or lounging with adoration at the flowers she is surrounded by.

It’s a beautiful perfume. I smelled L’Interdit at Ulta a while back, and I was addicted to the strong tuberose. I couldn’t pull the trigger with the price, however. Fast forward to now, and Ive been craving something as divine. Fakhar Rose is a perfect duplicate for the price. Now, I will say that my nose is not OVERLY sophisticated, so I cannot decipher every note and its intensity and how it differs exactly from L’Interdit. All I can say is that it smells very similar and scratches the itch. Grape-like. Something akin to a Jolly Rancher with some beautiful white florals. Im getting strong gardenia. I do not get a “mature” vibe from this. This smells like a gorgeous young-spirited (no matter the age! :)) woman dressed in pretty pastels. It’s fluffy and effervescent. I could see it being worn all year round despite it having a spring/summer flair. Not gourmand, but very sweet. Like I’m sitting in a crisp lemon-colored eyelet dress amongst sugared tuberose and red grapes in a huge field of white flowers. I have been burned by Lattafa so much. I havent liked ANY of the perfumes Ive sampled from them, that being said, this is obviously the outlier. If you like L’Interdit, grape candy, tuberose, white florals, clean sweet scents, or fresh and fruity, youre going to like this. EDIT: My partner loves this. We were talking, and out of nowhere, he says I smell good. It threw me off guard as he is a self-proclaimed perfume hater. When asked what it smells like, he just said,”really good.” So, another plus ladies, gents, and friends! EDIT 2: Smelled L’Interdit at Ulta again, and Fakhar Rose smells WAAY better.

This is one of the nicest white floral Fragrances I've honestly ever smelled. I've never smelled a white floral done quite like this. It's heady and pronounced, without being too sharp, too strong, or headache inducing. Don't get me wrong, this thing is very much a white floral dominant fragrance, but it's got some beautiful fruitiness and rounded edges to it as well. It's got a touch of powder but NOT MUCH. It just adds this supporting softness to the white florals. This is just BEAUTIFUL. I really wish more white florals could be done like this one. I regret not picking this up sooner. It's positively lovely. Also, this fragrance DEFINITELY has some oils in this. I think this would carry very well in every season besides winter. As odd as it sounds, something in this reminds me of the way a white wine smells. You get that very same bright fruitiness, with a touch of something ever so slight tart too. It's positively lovely. If you like a sweet Gardenia, jasmine, rose or tuberose scents, then I highly recommend giving this fragrance a try ! I really don't think you'll be disappointed. Also, I have to say this..... this does NOT smell too mature 🙄 while it does smell like a sophisticated, grown woman ..... This is not breaching typical Grandma territory....... But, fragrance is completely subjective so what do I know.... 🤷 If you're one of those people who likes Giorgio Armani - My way, Whitney Houston by Whitney Houston for women, the original Kim Kardashian by Kim Kardashian for women, or Gucci Bloom by Gucci, then I think you would really enjoy this. I think this just may be up your alley.
