Fakhar Gold opens on tuberose brightened with a mineral touch of salt, then warms into an amber, tonka and cashmeran heart. The base settles into cedarwood, vetiver and labdanum for a woody, resinous finish. Fragrantica's community voting (39 people) puts longevity as moderate for 44% of wearers, with a further 31% calling it long-lasting.
Fakhar Gold is a 2023 Oriental Woody release from Lattafa. It opens on tuberose and salt — Fragrantica's accord breakdown puts tuberose at 73% strength, with a white floral character at 65% alongside it, and the salt note adding a faint mineral edge rather than sweetness. The heart brings amber (100%, the dominant accord in the composition), tonka and cashmeran, giving a warm, slightly powdery centre (powdery sits at 55%). The base is woody (83%) and animalic (51%), built on cedarwood, vetiver and labdanum, with a light vanilla thread (46%) running underneath. Read together, this is a warm, resinous amber-woody scent with a floral top rather than a fresh or citrus-led one.
The opening is where the tuberose and salt sit closest to the surface — bright and slightly green before the composition warms up. Cedarwood is what keeps that opening from turning sweet too quickly: a dry, pencil-shaving woodiness that runs underneath from the start. As it develops, the amber, tonka and cashmeran heart takes over, softening the floral top into something warmer and more powdery. The dry-down is where vetiver and labdanum come forward, adding a resinous, slightly leathery depth under the amber. Fragrantica voters lean toward night wear for this one — 73% log it as an evening scent against 27% for daytime.
Of 16 Fragrantica longevity votes, the largest group (44%) rate Fakhar Gold's staying power as moderate, with a further 31% calling it long-lasting, 19% finding it weak and 6% rating it eternal. Sillage tracks moderate for most wearers too — of 15 votes, 73% describe its projection as moderate, 20% call it strong and 7% describe it as intimate and skin-close. Fragrantica community voting, small sample. See the full breakdown.
Season votes point clearly to the cooler months — winter leads at 49% and autumn follows at 40%, with spring (6%) and summer (4%) trailing well behind. This reads as an autumn-and-winter fragrance rather than a warm-weather one.
Lattafa markets Fakhar Gold for both women and men, and FG Perfumes lists it as unisex. Fragrantica's own gender voting is split, with unisex the single largest group at 50% of votes, followed by male-leaning at 28% — no gender reading dominates strongly enough to narrow the fragrance to one side.
Fragrantica's community voting links Fakhar Gold most closely to its own sibling, Fakhar Extrait, also by Lattafa, followed by 1 Million Parfum by Rabanne — both share the amber-woody warmth that defines Fakhar Gold's heart and base. If you like the boldness of 1 Million Parfum, you'll recognise a similar amber-and-wood shape here. FG Perfumes also carries Sawaar Vanille Blanc by Khadlaj, another warm, amber-driven option voters often mention alongside Fakhar Gold.

Wide range of budget friendly to relatively high end priced perfume brands. Rayhan, Armaf, French Avenue, Brandy, Lattafa just to mention a few. They also sell a 10ml of any brand you like, good for testing before you commit to the whole bottle.
This store reminds me of my days in Dubai. Prices are competitive and most probably the best I have found on the market. Amazing perfumes!
Shahed was very welcoming and friendly… He was knowledgeable about the perfumes and took the time to understand what I was looking for before recommending a fragrance that suited my preferences perfectly.
What a good find! A place where you can smell all the Dubai perfumes. Monique assisted us and she was very helpful. Will see you soon!
Customer service 10/10. Tamzyn helped me she was very nice energetic and helpful… when I heard the price I had to take it. So very affordable in my opinion.
The quality of the fragrances is outstanding. The oils and perfumes are impressive and has longevity… I will definitely be returning and recommending this shop to others.
He was very helpful and friendly as I did not have a clue of what I wanted to get for my mom… It smells very nice. I got compliments at work… I would recommend people to go here.
Lattafa Perfumes started in Dubai in 1980, and the family who founded it still runs the company. Its name comes from the Arabic words for kindness and pleasantness. Lattafa perfumes range from sweet gourmands to bold ouds, at prices well below designer brands.
