OK so I am indeed re-reviewing Lattafa's Asad. Now I still get the overly pineapple smell but honestly, I now get more than it. I am not sure if it was maturation or what but originally, I did not get anything at all similar to Drakkar Noir (which many say Sauvage Elixir smells similarish to) nor do I get Dior Sauvage. Asad isn't a bad fragrance, but I am one of those that gets the sweet pineapple. When I've said this, many question if I got Lattafa Qaed Al Fursan but alas I have this bottle. It does have the gold ribbon/sash that the bottle shows in the main picture. Perhaps this is a batch variation issue? I have a love-hate relationship with cinnamon, especially in perfumery. My skin loves to amp it up to 11 and screams “THIS HAS CINNAMON IN IT!”
Lattafa, Your Ultimate Destination for Luxurious & Exotic Home Grown Fragrances in the Middle-east and across 61 countries of the world. Where do I begin with this fragrance! I came across it online a few weeks ago and couldn't find it here on fragrantica and none of my friends had tried it For those familiar with high-end perfumes, Asad could be likened to Dior Sauvage Elixir's relative, boasting similar qualities without the high-end price. It's an affordable luxury, capable of standing shoulder-to-shoulder with industry heavyweights. If you’re like me and was dodging this due to cinnamon, I’d confidently guess this one might just work for you too. Haven’t smelt Dior Sauvage Elixir… this to me smells like a more wearable toned down Spicebomb (EDT). Dark purple florals and dry pineapple in the dry-down but mainly smooth warm spices and a tiny amount of SWEET tobacco (not oudy). Nighttime. Age 18+. Slightly more ‘masculine’ leaning if that’s how you define your scents but easily Multisex. Good longevity and decent silage.On the deep dry down, it starts to mellow down into this kind of smokey and creamy sweetness with a very noticeable Amber accord. That being said - Khamrah is overwhelming at first. It immediately reminded me of Lattafa's Yara (the long pink bottle) - a bit of a tropical vibe? Not sure which fruits. I sensed the cinnamon and something sweet and overwhelming. After a few hours I sensed a myrrh undertone perhaps, something woody, faint and oriental. The first sniff smelled exactly like mulled red wine (boiled wine with spices we drink during winter) I got the booziness most people said they didnt and it was strong,in the air the perfume smelled even better than on my skin,the projection was strong.The dry down is sweeter,I can feel the pralines ,spices and still some alcohol,i don’t feel a lot of cinnamon as most people say.As it settles,I can feel the amber and vanilla,and a hint of cinnamon that’s just the perfect amount to get that spiciness,I get that sweet and invitingscent.It s seductive yet warm,smells yummy once it settles I wouldn't say its a clone of angels share, it isn't but it is definitely a sibling. they are 60-70 percent the same, this one is this cinnamon booze praline vanilla scent and I am living for it
Khamrah by Lattafa Perfumes is an intriguing fragrance that sets itself apart from the competition. Although it’s marketed as a clone of Angels’ Share by Kilian, Khamrah possesses a character all its own. In fact, I would go as far as to say that it outshines its inspiration, bearing a stronger resemblance to Emporio Armani Stronger With You Intensely. This Arabian Oud fragrance will be perfect for every occasion- birthdays, anniversaries or as a gift. Performance is very good. I applied liberally after shower and got 10 hours noticeable performance out of it. Projection is about 1.5 arms length although I do prefer more intimate projection but 2 people immediately noticed at that range and I received one compliment. Can't speak of sillage.I'm coming in here with no experience with Dior Sauvage Elixir but of course I have the EDT so I have nothing to compare it to except Dior Sauvage EDT.
Great Deal
