Lattafa Fakhar Rose Gold: A Full Bouquet of White Flowers on Soft Vanilla
Of all the bottles that carry the Fakhar name, Rose Gold is the one that has nothing to do with the others. Where its siblings are fresh or leathery, this is a generous, creamy white floral. It opens with a clean aldehydic sparkle, a splash of tart pomegranate and mixed fruit, and the first hint of lily. Then the bouquet arrives — tuberose and jasmine at the front, gardenia, ylang-ylang, rose, honeysuckle and peony filling in behind — before it all settles into vanilla, white musk, sandalwood and ambroxan. It is the feminine member of our Lattafa Fakhar collection and one of the most lavish florals in our Lattafa perfumes range. Fragrantica catalogues it as Fakhar Rose, a women’s release from 2022.
The Scent Profile
Top — fruits, lily, pomegranate, aldehydes. The aldehydes give the opening that soapy, fizzy brightness of freshly laundered linen, and the pomegranate adds a tart, jewel-like fruitiness. Some Fragrantica reviewers describe a grape-like or bubblegum note in the first few minutes; it divides people, but it passes. Lily introduces the florals early, so the transition into the heart is seamless.
Heart — tuberose, jasmine, gardenia, ylang-ylang, rose, honeysuckle, peony. Seven flowers, and they are the point of the fragrance. Tuberose leads — creamy, heady and slightly waxy — with jasmine right alongside. Gardenia adds lushness, ylang-ylang a buttery, almost banana-like softness, and rose, honeysuckle and peony round it into a bouquet rather than a single note. It is rich, confident and unapologetically floral.
Base — vanilla, white musk, sandalwood, ambroxan. The drydown softens everything. Vanilla adds a gentle sweetness, white musk a clean skin-like finish, sandalwood a creamy woodiness and ambroxan a warm glow that helps the flowers carry. It is a comforting, close-wearing base rather than a dramatic one.
How Fakhar Rose Gold Compares to Givenchy L’Interdit — the Honest Version
Lattafa does not name an inspiration for this fragrance. The comparison comes from wearers: Fragrantica reviewers often compare it to Givenchy L’Interdit, and it is the comparison that comes up most consistently on the page. The two share a tuberose-and-jasmine heart and a vanilla-ambroxan base, which is why the resemblance is so widely noticed.
The difference reviewers mention most is sweetness: Fakhar Rose Gold is usually described as the slightly sweeter of the two. The published pyramids suggest why. L’Interdit is known for setting its white flowers against a darker, earthier base, whereas Fakhar Rose Gold stays soft and clean underneath, with white musk and sandalwood, and piles on extra florals in the heart. A handful of reviewers also mention it in the same breath as other big designer florals such as Dior J’adore, Elie Saab and Gucci Bloom — a sign of how broadly it sits within that white-floral style rather than tracking one bottle exactly.

Lattafa Fakhar Rose Gold Performance & When To Wear
Here the honest answer is that it depends on the wearer more than usual. We could not extract a clean vote tally from Fragrantica, and the written reviews are unusually spread: some people report one or two hours, others twelve or more; some find it a skin scent, others a room-filler. The bars above sit in the middle of that range deliberately and should be read as a summary, not a promise. Skin chemistry clearly matters with this one, and big white florals tend to perform better on fabric, so a spray on a scarf or collar is worth trying.
As for when to wear it, the bouquet is at its best in spring and autumn, day into evening, and the vanilla-sandalwood base keeps it comfortable in cooler months. Tuberose is a note that fills space, so for an office or a small room, one or two sprays is plenty. For dinners, weddings and occasions where a statement floral is welcome, it comes into its own.
Who It’s For
Fakhar Rose Gold is for someone who loves white flowers and wants them generous — a lush, creamy, feminine bouquet rather than a whisper. It is sold as a women’s fragrance and wears that way. If tuberose or heavy florals have ever given you a headache, it is not the bottle for you; if you have been hunting for an affordable big floral in the L’Interdit style, it is well worth a try. It also makes a sensible gift for anyone whose taste runs to classic, polished florals.
How It Compares With the Other Houses We Stock
For the same jasmine-led idea at a fraction of the volume, Reef 19 (£88.95) builds on lily of the valley, jasmine and white musk alone — clean, airy and close to the skin where Rose Gold is lush and heady. It is the more restrained, office-friendly way to wear a white floral, at a much higher price. At the gourmand end, Khadlaj Cream Velvet (£29.99) shares the jasmine and vanilla but puts butter, caramel, honey and tonka in charge, so it reads as a dessert with a floral accent rather than a bouquet with a sweet base.
Rose Gold’s Fakhar Relatives
If you fancy exploring beyond florals, the rest of the Fakhar line heads in fresher and darker directions. Fakhar Extrait (£18.99) is the nearest cousin, since it also carries tuberose, but grapefruit and leather make it sharper and better suited to cool evenings. The original Fakhar (£20.00) is a clean apple, lavender and tonka scent for everyday wear, while Fakhar Platinum (£18.99) combines guava and lavender with palo santo for warm summer days. The full range is on our Lattafa Fakhar page.
Price, Size & What You Get
At £17.99 for 100ml, Rose Gold is 18p per millilitre — the least expensive of the Fakhar bottles we stock and a remarkably low price for a floral this elaborate. It comes as a 100ml Eau de Parfum spray. You may see it sold as Fakhar Rose, Fakhar Rose Gold or Fakhar for Women; all three refer to this fragrance.

Lattafa Fakhar Rose Gold FAQs
What does Lattafa Fakhar Rose Gold smell like?
A big, creamy white floral. A sparkling aldehydic opening with pomegranate and lily gives way to a heart of tuberose, jasmine, gardenia and ylang-ylang, softened by rose, honeysuckle and peony, and it settles on vanilla, white musk, sandalwood and ambroxan.
What are the full Fakhar Rose Gold notes?
Top — fruits, lily, pomegranate, aldehydes; heart — tuberose, jasmine, gardenia, ylang-ylang, rose, honeysuckle, peony; base — vanilla, white musk, sandalwood, ambroxan. That is the pyramid on Fragrantica, where it is listed as Fakhar Rose.
Is Fakhar Rose Gold a dupe of Givenchy L’Interdit?
Lattafa does not say so, but Fragrantica reviewers often compare it to L’Interdit, and it is the most frequent comparison on the page. The shared tuberose-jasmine heart is real; reviewers find Rose Gold a little sweeter, and its base is softer and cleaner than L’Interdit’s earthier finish. Lattafa has no affiliation with Givenchy.
How long does Fakhar Rose Gold last?
Reports vary enormously — from a couple of hours to more than twelve, according to Fragrantica reviewers — so skin chemistry plays a big part. Spraying fabric as well as skin is the most reliable way to extend it.
Is Fakhar Rose Gold for women?
Yes. Lattafa sells it as a women’s fragrance and Fragrantica lists it for women. Its lavish white-floral character wears firmly feminine.
How much is Lattafa Fakhar Rose Gold in the UK?
£17.99 for the 100ml Eau de Parfum at Khaleej Scents, with free UK delivery and no minimum spend.
Does Fakhar Rose Gold smell anything like the men’s Fakhar?
No. Despite the shared name, Rose Gold is a white floral, while the original Fakhar is a fresh apple-and-lavender fougère. They are completely different fragrances, so choose by the notes rather than the name.
Notes verified against Fragrantica in September 2026, where this fragrance is listed as Fakhar Rose (2022); no perfumer is credited. The L’Interdit comparison is a community one from Fragrantica reviewers — Lattafa does not claim it. Performance is summarised from Fragrantica reviewer comments because a clean vote tally was not available to us, and we have not added wear-testing figures of our own.
