Lattafa Asad Premium Perfume Refreshing Oud and Musk Fragrances Eau De Parfum 100 ml Perfume for Unisex (Pack of 1), 100 ml (Pack of 1)

Product Information

Not sure why some have performance issues with this, this thing is a BEAST and was pumping off me all day long. Patchouli, iris, and coffee notes intertwine and project like whispers from a Turkish café, retaining the initial sweetness but introducing a more profound, dusky character. The base notes grab your attention with the sweet combination of powdery amber, spicy vanilla and slightly caramelised benzoin, permeated with accords of dry wood and bitter labdanum. In Asad, Lattafa has created a scent that is both a nod to classic fragrances and a stride towards modern perfumery. Dior Sauvage Elixir on the other hand never annoys me or brings me a headache so now I understand when they say about 2 scents that they smell similar but one smells more refined and expensive I totally get what they're trying to say.

I have disagreeable experiences with Lattafas on the first or second wear and then the next wear, the blend and pyramid suddenly is pulled together and pleasant.Now more importantly, if you try it (and you definitely should) then make sure you try on SKIN and not on a strip.

I am going to do more experiments, but please let me know which you'd like to see combined with Asad, so I can put out there the true potential of this excellent fragrance as an essential layering fragrance for this time of year.

Maybe it smells less rich,less rounded in a way, sweeter too and the quality isn't as high, which yea what do you expect for ~20 USD for 100mls? The infusion of Vanilla and Iris adds a touch of elegance, while the rich essences of Coffee, Patchouli, and Tobacco create a bold and distinctive character. However on to this fragrance from the house of Lattafa , this is a dead on copy of the original, with this being a little harder around the edges. On the performance aspect of this fragrances, Dior takes it, I washed it off at the end of the day and I still could smell it on my wrist. Unfortunately mine came with a crack under the lid around the atomiser which very slightly leaks but atomiser still works.

The good neighborhood (at least with him) has turned into an ice-cold and subtly hostile neighborhood. The drydown this time was better but still all I could smell was shit load of tobacco (love tobacco fragrances but this was overpowering), patchouli, some hints of coffee (very very faint hint), dry woodiness with a little bit of sweetness, from the vanilla, NO freshness, NO pineapple, no spiciness, no iris e. Comparisons with Sauvage Elixir are justified, but, from my point of view, not adequately explained.PS- To me, fragrance reviews are ‘fantasies’, as one can’t actually describe a smell to be fully understandable to the public.
