Asad by Lattafa Perfumes

I’m absolutely loving the scent; it smells like Sauvage Elixir but isn’t a 100% clone, it has its own style and the price is a bargain.

I love it, it’s masculine and sexy. The bottle and the fragrance age well, even becoming spicier. I’ve finished one and bought another; it doesn’t seem reformulated. The opening is spicy and metallic, then becomes more masculine with patchouli and dry wood. I wear it to work, lasting 7 hours on skin and days on clothes. Be careful with the sillage; indoors it’s about 5 metres, outdoors 8 or 9. It resembles the Elixir but is sweeter and softer, whereas the Dior is a beast. It works all year depending on the occasion, always test before buying, it’s not for everyone; you need personality.

Highly recommended: top quality for the price and features trendy notes like pineapple and pepper. Perfect for autumn/winter and men over 40.

At first, I thought it was extremely strong, but after 12 hours it hadn’t faded. Honestly, it’s for adult men aged 35 to 50+. Probably the most masculine scent I’ve encountered. The cigarette note is very prominent until it gave me a slight aversion. The pepper is also very strong, causing a tingling sensation. On my first try, I was confused; it felt overwhelming and I didn’t like it. It’s identical to Sauvage Elixir. I don’t recommend buying blindly; it’s an acquired taste. If you’re looking for this, buy a decant first. In summary, Asad felt extreme to me: very masculine and strong (cigarette and pepper), potentially heavy or intrusive.

I’m afraid to say this is possibly one of the most overrated fragrances in the Arabic perfume world. Literally, it’s just so much pepper that the rest of the notes are completely lost. It’s an invasive sensation that I can’t quite describe. There are far too many perfumes that improve on its essence, and simply… there are better options for the price. You could buy something else.

Although I haven’t tried the Sauvage Elixir, I absolutely love this one. I see it as suitable for special occasions, formal outdoor events, or when wearing a suit. I can imagine it could even be worn in summer if you wait an hour after applying it for it to settle.

Disgusting; the worst purchase I’ve ever made. I keep it at the back of my wardrobe just to bulk up the collection. For the 30-40 euros it costs, you’d be better off spending it on a good ham and doing yourself and anyone who smells you a favour.

It’s a good perfume for the price. Perhaps it recalls the Sauvage Elixir a little, but it follows a different path. It lasts quite a while on the skin and on clothes it lasts for days. In conclusion, a good scent and good value for money.

It smells exactly like a Halston Z14; I cannot find any differences. A very sharp cinnamon gum scent, nothing that the masses will like.

I do not agree that it is a ‘great perfume’, but it is very good for the price and what it is intended for. Let me explain: it has no minimalism; it lavishes power and personality without subtlety from the very first second to the last. It lacks control over the notes; it gives the impression of being a jumble of intense aromas seeking more of a ‘wow’ than praise for being a good fragrance. Nothing like high perfumery, however it fulfils its function: it smells. If you are looking for impact and personality, then yes, it is a good perfume.

A fragrance with a fairly strong, warm and spicy scent. It is not for the young; it has good longevity and projection, but I find it very synthetic. That is the only negative I find, besides the fact that it is not a scent for everyone.

A mature, serious fragrance that denotes authority. Good projection and longevity. If it’s the DNA of Sauvage but takes its own, spicier path… it’s for men, not children.

Hello friend, here’s my opinion on this little fragrance I bought blindly. I fell for the temptation and the TikTok hype, but look, for my humble nose, it smells exactly like ‘The Club by Scalpers’. It doesn’t smell bad or anything.

Here comes my most honest opinion: I understand why many dislike it because it’s not ‘mass appealing’ nor a ‘compliment giver’. To be precise, I sought it out, applied it to my hand, and remembered when I used it. It has a very complex scent but for my nose, it’s not bad. It’s not for everyone because everyone goes with the flow and doesn’t take the task of knowing their fragrances in depth. Every fragrance has its habitat at the right moment; there are people who wear it in summer, during the day, in enclosed spaces, with inappropriate clothing (sweater with shorts, trainers, cap, bad hair) How do you expect to stand out if everything is neglected? I’m not saying this just for this fragrance, but for all in general. Conclusion: you need character and personality to wear Asad. If you believe you have it, buy it and use it in moments with suitable weather. You’ll see how it flows and if you care about opinions, don’t worry, they’ll make you feel attractive and important, I assure you.

Well, to me it smells like shaving foam. Neither good nor bad; it’s a scent I like, but only when I’m shaving. As a perfume, it doesn’t convince me, plus it gives me olfactory fatigue; after a while it doesn’t smell unless I wave my hand in front of my nose, although I am aware it’s there.
