    I also experienced the same when trying Rasasi Daarej in decant. When I first smelled it I really hated it, I thought it was the worst, considering how cheap those middle eastern clones, and I promised I wouldn't ever wear it anymore. Then I stored for about 3 weeks while I was trying other perfumes, until I was somehow intrigued to try it again, then it smelled different from my first try, it's awesome to me.

    Decades ago a friend from the men's fragrances counter at Eatons told me to NEVER use a frag until you had fully flushed the frag thru the tube abd sprayer to clear any manufacturing chemicals that might still be in the component parts. 10 sprays thru before it goes on the skin. I have to admit I've noticed a difference with some.

I sprayed both y edp on one arm and fahkar on the other and longevity differences is only about 2-3 hrs for me before fahkar became a skin scent.

Sprayed both the y and fakhar on my mid forearm and was surprised that both held up. From 9:30am to like 12 midnight. Y was more noticeable but still fakhar held up. The dry down of fakhar was still sweeter but came close to the ysl in terms of woody and musk

    @dk302948 Рік тому +25

    I have both fragrances. I will start with saying I don't have Y EDP and have never had a full wearing with it. I only smelled it once when it was in a Y line lineup in Ulta. I smelled them all and Y EDP was the clear winner for me as it smelled the least bubble-gummy and the most rich & full bodied. It was love at first smell. Y EDP was also more than I felt like paying when there are clones out there that are close or in the same ballpark. I was excited when Fakhar finally came in the mail, and opened it immediately and was let down. Although it had been getting great reviews for a clone of Y EDP, it was not what I had smelled and fallen for. I actually never wore more than once because then rumors started swirling of another close clone by the name of Sheikh Al Shuyukh Final Edition. I bought and waited. When it arrived, same process. Success! This is the final edition. This was the smell that I had smelled before. I liked it because it is rich and heavy and long lasting. I have worn it much more than Fakhar. Late summer and early fall so far. Ashton summed it up expertly. Final Edition would be more of an all around Y EDP clone for the older generation. I'm in the 30's and it is more my style. Fakhar almost has a synthetic sickening sweet smell to me now that I have smelled and own the Final Edition. I am extremely happy with the Final Edition and will probably look at getting another bottle soon to make sure I always have it. Also the top corner of my bottle came cracked with very sharp edges, so be careful. It was still sealed in the plastic and the box was not smashed in any way.

    Cool hack: Bought the Sheikh Shuyukh … and as Ashton states … not a looker … and most of that is the cap. Looks awful and slips right off. However … the YSL Y EDP cap fits perfectly … looks awesome, and doesn’t slip right off. YSL Le Parfum cap works just as well. Game changer for the bottle presentation. And hey … it’s a Y inspiration … so my mind goes right to it without any confusion. And the Y cap feels great. More substantial and better quality. Problem solved. Trust me … perfect fit. Bottle looks 10 times cooler. More compact and way classier.

    I have all three and Fakhar Black is waaaaay more bubble gummy. I couldn't fuckn' stand it. Sheikh Al Shuyukh Final Edition definitely smells waaaaay woodier, but I could stand it AND felt it was the closer scent to Y EDP of the two that it's now making me question Ash as a reviewer. Layering or mixing the two together will get you the closest to the actual YSL Y EDP. I did 3 parts of Final Edition to 2 parts of Fakhar and found it to be perfect for me. Tones down both the absurd amount of bubble-gum and the woods.

      I agree. I wore Fahkar and Y Edt on each each all day. The Fahkar is a little sweeter but they are dead on each other. The Sheik smells
      totally different. Same DNA but it’s more bold and. it as fresh. It smells Y EDP ish(twist.). I feel like it’s missing what ever makes the Y seems fizzy and Pop.

    Okay, so as someone who owns all four (ysl y edp, fakhar black, maison Alhambra yeah!, and sheikh shuyukh) the best out of all the clones is hands down: yeah! Fakhar is not bad, a little sharper, has more of that detergent soapy smell. Shuyukh is okay, but there is this sweetness under everything that I can only describe as…”doughy”. Yeah! From maison Alhambra is the best, well rounded clone out of the ones I’ve got my nose on, and if I spray it directly onto my shirt I get 6-8 hrs performance

I’m just fascinated by that side of the business. And who comes up with the crazy flacons?

      @D crofter Uh, my man, not everything that has a “hint” of a note or blend you know is a “clone”. As Ash explained in this video, he said this scent has little to NO similarity to Y EDP. When a site determines it’s a “twist” that’s just their opinion because they picked up on one similarity. I can make a video and say “Every scent that utilizes pineapple is a Aventus clone”. Would that be true? You need to understand, just because they created something that’s SIMILAR to another scent, doesn’t mean that’s what they aimed for. As for my comment, I want these guys to continue trying to create similar scents but branch off in their own way. Maybe EVENTUALLY they’ll stumble upon great expensive discontinued scents I love for a price I can actually afford.
