If there’s one fragrance that has been turning heads in the affordable perfume world, it’s Lattafa Fakhar Rose. With its stunning bottle and luxurious blend of fruity, floral, and musky notes, Fakhar Rose has quickly earned a reputation as one of the best alternatives to high-end designer perfumes like Givenchy L’Interdit, Armani My Way, Lancôme Idôle, Carolina Herrera Good Girl, and even YSL Libre.
But how close is it really? Let’s dive into a detailed review.
Lattafa didn’t cut corners with presentation. Fakhar Rose comes in a shiny metallic pink bottle with an elegant Arabic-inspired design that feels far more premium than its price tag. At first glance, you’d think it was a designer release retailing for 10x the cost.
Spraying it on, the first thing you notice is the fruity sweetness that bursts out — juicy, slightly tangy, and immediately engaging. Within minutes, the fragrance settles into its true identity: a lush, creamy white floral bouquet.

🔁 Similarities to Popular Designer Fragrances
1. Givenchy L’Interdit EDP
The strongest resemblance. Both have that white floral + fruity + musky combo. Fakhar Rose feels slightly sweeter and less refined, but close enough that many call it a dupe.
2. Armani My Way
Shares the tuberose, jasmine, and orange blossom core. My Way is a little fresher and cleaner; Fakhar Rose adds more fruitiness and depth.
3. Lancôme Idôle
Fakhar Rose is creamier and muskier, but the feminine rose-jasmine DNA feels similar. If you like Idôle but want something richer and sweeter, Fakhar Rose delivers.
4. Carolina Herrera Good Girl
Not identical, but both have floral-gourmand warmth. Fakhar Rose is more floral-focused, while Good Girl leans gourmand with cacao and tonka. Think of Fakhar Rose as the softer, more wearable daytime version.
5. YSL Libre (EDP)
Libre is dominated by lavender + orange blossom. Fakhar Rose skips the lavender but shares the sweet orange blossom–vanilla vibe, making them feel like cousins in the same fragrance family.
⏳ Performance (Longevity & Projection)
- Longevity: 6–8 hours on skin, up to 10+ hours on clothes.
- Projection: Strong for the first 2–3 hours, then softer aura.
