This Lattafa Fakhar for Women review sticks to what we can verify: the product page’s notes and description, the price, and how it compares with other bottles we have in stock. Prices and stock were checked on 27 October 2026 and can change.
Lattafa Fakhar for Women at a Glance
- Best for: a fresh, wearable daily floral, or anyone who likes Lattafa Fakhar and wants the matching women’s version.
- Not ideal for: anyone after a heavy, traditional Arabian oud. The listing describes it as polished and modern rather than heavy or overtly sweet.
- Size and price: 100ml EDP, £19.99.
- Listed notes: fresh, musk, oud, rose, sweet and woody.
What Does Fakhar for Women Smell Like?
Our product page describes Fakhar for Women as opening with sparkling citrus and pear, moving into a floral heart of jasmine and orange blossom, and finishing on a soft musk-and-woods base. It is positioned as closer to a contemporary designer floral than a traditional Arabian oud, and the listing says it is built in the spirit of YSL Y for Her. Arabic Aura is not affiliated with Yves Saint Laurent; the reference only indicates the style.
Who Is It For?
It suits anyone who wants a bright, modern floral for everyday wear, and anyone who liked the confident feel of the original Fakhar and wants a version built around florals and citrus.

Our Verdict
If you want a fresh, modern floral at £19.99, Fakhar for Women is a reasonable place to start, especially if you already like the original Fakhar. If you prefer sweet and gourmand, look at Yara Candy or Habik Women instead. See our Habik Women review for a warmer floral-oriental option.

How to test Fakhar for Women properly
A bright, modern floral like this one is easy to misjudge in the shop. The sparkling citrus and pear opening is the loudest part, and it is not the whole scent — the jasmine and orange blossom heart and the soft musk-and-woods base need time on skin. Wear it for a full day before you decide: spray in the morning, check in at lunchtime, and see what is left by the evening. A test strip tells you what it smells like; only a full day tells you whether you will actually reach for it.
Fakhar for Women as a first Lattafa
If you are new to Lattafa and the heavier, traditional Arabian oud style puts you off, Fakhar for Women is one of the gentlest ways into the house. The listing positions it as closer to a contemporary designer floral than a traditional Arabian oud, so it asks nothing of you — no acquired taste for oud, no tolerance for heaviness. At £19.99 for 100ml it is also a low-stakes first bottle: if you love it, the original Fakhar (£20.00) and the flankers Platin (£19.99) and Extrait (£16.99) are the natural next steps.
Getting the most from a fresh floral
Fresh, citrus-led scents behave differently from warm, sweet ones, so treat this one accordingly. Spray on moisturised skin, which holds scent better than dry skin, and do not rub your wrists together after spraying — it crushes the citrus opening you bought the bottle for. Store it away from direct sunlight and heat, and out of a steamy bathroom, so the bright top notes stay bright for as long as possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Lattafa Fakhar for Women different from the original Fakhar?
Yes. According to its product page it shares the collection’s clean, confident feel but is built around a floral-citrus profile rather than the original’s aromatic-fresh structure.
How much is Lattafa Fakhar for Women?
It is listed at £19.99 for 100ml at the time of writing, which puts it in our under-£20 range.
Is it a good gift?
It can be, particularly for someone who likes fresh, modern florals. Our guides to Arabic perfume gifts for her and perfume gifts for a wife or husband have more ideas.
Do you give longevity figures?
No. We have not published wear-test data, so we do not quote hours. Results vary with skin, weather and application.
How should I test Fakhar for Women before deciding?
Wear it for a full day, not just a sniff on a test strip. The citrus and pear opening is the loudest part; the jasmine and orange blossom heart and musk-and-woods base need time on skin before you can judge the bottle fairly.
Is Fakhar for Women a good first Lattafa?
Yes, especially if traditional Arabian oud puts you off. It is positioned as a contemporary designer floral rather than a heavy oud, and at £19.99 it is a low-stakes way into the house.
How do I make Fakhar for Women last as well as possible?
Spray on moisturised skin, do not rub your wrists together, and store the bottle away from sunlight and heat. Fresh, citrus-led openings are the most fragile part of any fragrance, so a little care goes a long way.
