The review
On paper, Fakhar Platin is a reasonable bet if you want Y Elixir for less.
Lattafa sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Y Elixir's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $45 per 100ml it costs 70% less than Y Elixir — the 3rd cheapest of 3 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Lattafa publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on bergamot and ginger, turns to lavender, sage and cinnamon, and settles into Tonka Bean, vanilla and amberwood. That is the brief Fakhar Platin is working from.
Top
- bergamot
- ginger
Heart
- lavender
- sage
- cinnamon
Base
- Tonka Bean
- vanilla
- amberwood
The richest Y yet, lavender and cinnamon melting into tonka and amber for cold nights.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 6 twins of Yves Saint Laurent Y Elixir we can price, Fakhar Platin is number 3 on price per 100ml.
