Links re-checked 2 October 2026: every dupe on this page was re-read at its source (the exact Amazon listing for product, stock and seller, or the maker’s own store or a US Amazon search). Prices were not re-read; each keeps its own date.
Short answer: each clone below is a community-cited match for Y EDP’s aromatic, fresh spicy, woody, fougere profile (Y EDP’s own notes — top: apple, ginger, bergamot; heart: sage, juniper, geranium; base: tonka bean, cedar, vetiver). Which to choose:
- Fakhar Black Men by Lattafa (closest match, longest lasting, ~82% community-rated similarity, 8-10h): most-cited Y EDP alternative; slightly warmer and less bright but close enough that most won't notice, strong performance.
- Ventana Pour Homme by Armaf (~75% community-rated similarity, 7-9h): drier take with more sage and vetiver and less tonka sweetness; nearest to Y's refined heart.
- Daarej Pour Homme by Rasasi (~70% community-rated similarity, 6-8h): sharper, greener bergamot/sage direction; not a 1:1 clone but captures the clean-masculine feel.
