What Is Lattafa Sheikh Al Shuyukh Final Edition a Dupe Of?

What is Sheikh Al Shuyukh Final Edition a dupe of?

Lattafa Sheikh Al Shuyukh Final Edition is a clone of Yves Saint Laurent Y EDP. If you're looking for that fresh, aromatic and woody style, this is another bottle to consider alongside Fakhar Black and Maison Alhambra Yeah! The important bit of the name is Final Edition: other Sheikh Al Shuyukh fragrances are different scents.

Where do the two overlap?

The easiest connection to spot is the mix of aromatic freshness and a woody base. Final Edition lists lemongrass, sage, lavender and lemon at the top. Its middle notes are leather, cardamom, rose, rosemary and mimosa, followed by musk, amber, cedar, vanilla and oakmoss.

Y EDP's catalog profile starts with apple, aldehydes, grapefruit and ginger. Lavender, sage and geranium sit in the middle, with tonka bean, cedar, olibanum and patchouli at the base. Sage, lavender and cedar give the displayed pyramids some common ground, while the fruit and floral notes make the differences easy to see.

We'd pay particular attention to the opening when comparing them. Y's apple is a different starting point from Final Edition's lemongrass and lemon. Final Edition also lists leather, rose and oakmoss, so it isn't a case of taking Y's note list and putting it on a cheaper bottle.

Those are useful clues, rather than a promise about which note you'll notice most. The amounts, blending and balance matter too. If the crisp apple part of Y EDP is what you love, make that the first thing you check when trying Final Edition.

Which one makes sense for you?

Final Edition belongs on the shortlist if you enjoy Y EDP's general style and are happy to explore a variation. If you want the exact Y experience, we'd compare a sample with the original before committing to a bottle. Try them separately as well as side by side so you can judge which you actually prefer wearing.
