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

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!” This fragrance is a journey for me. When i first blind bought it due to the hype it garnered, i was on the fence about it. It’s super sweet, spicy, amber-y, with hints of woods in the base and felt it leaned slightly feminine. I remember wearing this one day and feeling annoyed with work at the office, then the scent of Khamrah lingered and i felt even more annoyed. Now compared to Angels Share, this has no apple note (to my nose), it's jsut focused on the spice and warmth, it has typical arabian fragrance scent, whereas Angels Share is much sweeter, with that hypnotising boozyness and prominent apple pie. The drydown is a bit different from Elixir but the opening smells exactly like elixir, and with probably my favorite looking bottle in my collection (it's simply beautiful) I don't think I have any cons apart from the drydown being less spicy than elixir. 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

After seeing it all over TikTok and liking the notes,I decided to blind buy it.This is also my first gourmand perfume.

Heading for a date, a party, or just meeting some friends? Lattafa Asad Eau de Parfum is the right choice in any situation. Asad Perfume by Lattafa Perfumes is excellent whenever you want to shine. Discover a fragrance that will always bring out your unique charisma. This makes me feel like a serious trustworthy man with all of my goals in life on a straight line and I'm not here to waste my time. Quite the contrast to the vibe of Sauvage EDT where it feels like you're a Chad who'd rail her in a parking lot and then drive away on your Honda Civic without her. But the zingy spicy freshness is definitely the same for both of these perfumes but that's where the similarities end.

smells very expensive as per usual with dior (and by default asad being that its such a great clone) Really good and complex combination of strong warm spice and vanilla on the opening and adds sweetness and slight wood, powder and lavender hints on the drydown I must say, after 2-3 hours the powdery, slightly dry, vanilla dry-down is very reminiscent of what Borouj Perlador does on my skin (... which is a PDM Carlisle clone itself lol). Except this is more drier and powdery, and Perlador takes much more then 2-3 hours to get to that point, as it's also much stronger. Newer formulations of Red Tobacco end up at a similar point in the late dry-down - but again RT is stronger, and this is drier and more powdery. I'm careful not to get overlapping fragrances, yet for the first time I feel like I'm super close to redundant territory. I wish this held the lavender, licorice and spices for longer, which is what sets this apart from the other ones mentioned. Asad is the perfume that makes Sauvage Elixir obsolete. Asad comes really close to Sauvage Elixir, but has a certain twist of its own. The fragrance is just great, on the one hand because the fragrance notes go well together, on the other hand because the longevity and sillage are really good. I like the spicy-sweet-slightly fruity scent of Asad better than the scent of Sauvage Elixir, which has a note that I don't like at all.As many may know Sauvage is the French word for 'wild' (this is it's most common meaning, it can also mean 'savage', 'feral' or 'uncivilsed' among other things). Apparently 'asad' is an arabic word for 'lion'. Do you see connection here?

Asad, I get 9 to 10 hours, and I can still smell it on clothing at least the next day. though the smell is different from elixer.There's some unmistakable Swiss Arabian Casablanca DNA in here and I once accidentally approximated this same apple pie effect by layering Qasamat Ebhar with Initio's Side Effect that was already dying down after the end of a long workday. However, that was nowhere near as scrumptious or hunger-inducing. My guess is the praline note present in Khamrah, Ebhar and Side Effect is pulling its weight in amplifying their gourmand-ness. 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 Anyone that’s looking for Angel’s Share is in the wrong building with this one. They’re nothing alike, aside from having a few notes in common. 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. I'm a bit biased towards Khamrah because this is my ideal scent profile. I like dense, resinous, vanillic, sweet and spicy fragrances the best. This stuff absolutely kills it. This fragrance smells really sexy and alluring. It doesn't smell cheap at all and the sweetness doesn't smell bubble gummy or juvenile. Sweetness is the accord I judge most harshly and this nails it. The combination of the vanilla, dates and praline smell so well blended. The spices of cinnamon and nutmeg are balanced perfectly. The resins and woods which ground the fragrance give it depth and round it off perfectly. Performance is great.
