Fakhar Platin opens with sharp bergamot and pink pepper, lifted by a warm cardamom spice. The heart brings an unexpected juicy guava against lavender and ginger, before it dries down into sandalwood, palo santo and incense for a smoky, woody finish. Fragrantica's community voting (432 votes) puts longevity as long-lasting for the majority of wearers, with a further third calling it moderate.
Fakhar Platin is a 2025 Aromatic Fougere from Lattafa. It opens on bergamot and pink pepper, brightened by cardamom — Fragrantica's accord breakdown puts woody at 100% strength and fresh spicy close behind at 99%, with aromatic and citrus both above 90%. The heart carries lavender (91%) and a fruity, tropical lift from guava (fruity 88%, tropical 75%) alongside ginger's warm spice (warm spicy 84%). The base settles into sandalwood, palo santo and incense, keeping the woody accord dominant throughout. The overall effect reads aromatic and woody with a fresh, spiced citrus top rather than sweet or gourmand.
The opening is bright and citrus-led, with the pink pepper and cardamom giving it a spiced lift rather than a plain fresh-citrus feel. Guava and lavender bring a contrast through the heart — juicy and green at once — before ginger's warmth carries it toward the base. It dries down into a smoky, woody finish where sandalwood and palo santo sit under a veil of incense. Fragrantica voters lean toward wearing it by day — 60% log it as a daytime scent against 40% for evening.
Of 432 Fragrantica longevity votes, the largest group (57%) rate Fakhar Platin's staying power as long-lasting, with a further 34% calling it moderate and small minorities at the weak and eternal ends. Sillage tracks more moderate: of 418 votes, 57% describe its projection as moderate, 35% as strong, and smaller groups at intimate or enormous. Fragrantica community voting. See the full breakdown.
Season votes favour the warmer half of the year — spring (31%) and summer (30%) lead, with autumn close behind at 26% and winter trailing at 13%. It reads as a scent for spring through autumn rather than deep winter.
Lattafa markets Fakhar Platin as a fragrance for both women and men, and FG Perfumes lists it as unisex. Fragrantica's own gender voting skews strongly male — 55% male and a further 31% male-leaning of 417 votes, against just 3% female — so wearers who prefer a more traditionally masculine profile are the larger group on record, though the brand's own framing keeps it open to any wearer.
Fragrantica's community voting links Fakhar Platin most closely to Y Elixir by Yves Saint Laurent, suggesting the two share a similar aromatic-woody accord profile. Within Lattafa's own range, Fakhar Black is the closest match FG currently stocks.

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.
