Fakhar is the black-bottled masculine Eau de Parfum, sold by Lattafa as Fakhar Black. Apple, bergamot and ginger lead into lavender, sage, juniper berries and geranium, over tonka bean, cedar, amberwood and vetiver. The fruit and aromatic herbs make it an option for everyday wear; it is a different direction from Layton’s vanilla-and-praline base. Check for the Black bottle rather than another Fakhar flanker.
