Lattafa Fakhar Rose Dupes: 10 Creamy White Floral Alternatives Ranked
Fakhar Rose by Lattafa opens with a declaration: this is a rose fragrance, but not a polite one
By The Fragrenza Team 4 min read
Lattafa Fakhar Rose is, despite its name, a creamy white-floral bouquet rather than a fruity rose. It opens with soft fruits, lily, pomegranate and a touch of aldehydes, then blooms into an opulent heart of tuberose, jasmine, gardenia, ylang-ylang, peony and rose, before settling onto a plush base of vanilla, white musk, sandalwood and ambroxan. The overall effect is slightly powdery, richly floral and creamy-sweet, with rose acting as just one voice among many white flowers. If you love that lush creamy-white-floral signature but want it for less, here are the most accurate affordable smell-alikes.
What is Lattafa Fakhar Rose a clone of?
Lattafa Fakhar Rose is widely recognized as a clone of Givenchy's L'Interdit, with some fragrance communities noting it's even more similar to Elie Saab Le Parfum. Both share a creamy white floral profile with prominent tuberose, jasmine, and rose notes layered over a soft patchouli-musk base.

Best Lattafa Fakhar Rose dupes, ranked
1. Water Lilies — 8.8/10
This is the closest overall match, leading with a lush white-floral bouquet of tuberose and gardenia up top and jasmine with ylang-ylang in the heart. It rests on a creamy vanilla, white musk and sandalwood base, lifted by a touch of soft pear fruit. Like Fakhar Rose, it delivers that opulent creamy white-floral signature where no single flower dominates.
2. Pretty Girl Blush — 8.5/10
A powdery, creamy bouquet of peony, rose, ylang-ylang, magnolia and lily of the valley sits over soft pear and mandarin. It dries down to vanilla, tonka, amber and musk for a slightly powdery, creamy-sweet finish. The way rose is woven into a fuller white-floral bouquet mirrors Fakhar Rose almost note for note.
3. Fur Elise — 8.3/10
Fur Elise builds a big creamy white-floral heart of jasmine, lily of the valley, mimosa, rose and ylang-ylang, with lily and lotus brightening the opening. It settles onto vanilla, musk, sandalwood and orris for a soft powdery-creamy drydown. That multi-white-flower opulence plus the vanilla-musk base makes it a strong stand-in for Fakhar Rose.
4. Pompeii Fantasy — 8/10
Orange blossom crowns a bouquet of jasmine, mimosa, rose and ylang-ylang, finishing on white musk, vanilla and patchouli. It is a rich, creamy white-floral where rose is just one of several flowers in the mix. The bouquet character lands very close to Fakhar Rose's lush floral heart.
5. Tendre Amour — 7.9/10
Tuberose, orange blossom, freesia and rose form the heart, resting on a creamy musk, sandalwood, heliotrope and vanilla base. It shares Fakhar Rose's tuberose-and-orange-blossom white-floral richness and the same soft, powdery, creamy drydown. A natural pick if the creamy floral base is what you love most.
6. Rosemon — 7.7/10
A powdery floral bouquet of rose, lily of the valley, peony, jasmine and iris sits over a hint of raspberry fruit, drying to amber, musk and vanilla. The peony-jasmine-lily white-floral combination and powdery-creamy feel echo Fakhar Rose closely. Here again, rose is one voice among many rather than the star.
7. Pure Amour — 7.5/10
A creamy gardenia and orange blossom heart, topped with jasmine, dries down to sandalwood, amber and white musk. It is a cleaner, more transparent creamy white-floral, but the gardenia plus white-musk-sandalwood base directly recalls Fakhar Rose's bouquet and creamy finish. A great lighter-weight option for warm days.
8. Teatro — 7.3/10
Peony and jasmine sambac lead the bouquet over soft almond and cyclamen, finishing on vanilla and white musk. It is a soft, creamy white-floral that captures the peony-jasmine heart and the vanilla-white-musk creaminess of Fakhar Rose's base. The gentlest, most comfortable take on the list.
Frequently asked questions
What does Lattafa Fakhar Rose smell like?
It smells like a creamy, opulent white-floral bouquet rather than a straightforward rose. Soft fruits, lily, pomegranate and aldehydes open it up, then a rich heart of tuberose, jasmine, gardenia, ylang-ylang, peony and rose takes over, all resting on vanilla, white musk, sandalwood and ambroxan. The result is slightly powdery, richly floral and creamy-sweet.
Which is the closest dupe?
Water Lilies is the closest overall at 8.8/10. It mirrors Fakhar Rose's tuberose and gardenia opening, jasmine and ylang-ylang heart, and creamy vanilla, white musk and sandalwood base, with the same opulent white-floral character where rose is just one flower among many.
Is Fakhar Rose actually a rose fragrance?
Not really. Despite the name, rose is only one voice in a much larger white-floral bouquet alongside tuberose, jasmine, gardenia, ylang-ylang and peony. It is not a jammy or fruity rose soliflore, so expect a creamy, powdery white-floral overall rather than a dedicated rose scent.
Are these exact copies?
No, these are affordable smell-alikes inspired by the same creamy white-floral profile, not exact reproductions. Each shares key notes and the overall opulent, slightly powdery, creamy character of Fakhar Rose, but the proportions and longevity will differ from one to the next. Sampling first is the best way to find your favorite.
Bottom line
If you want the closest take on Lattafa Fakhar Rose's creamy white-floral bouquet, start with Water Lilies — its tuberose-gardenia top, jasmine-ylang heart and creamy vanilla-musk-sandalwood base capture the opulent, slightly powdery signature better than anything else on this list.
