I just can’t get on board with this one. I’m not sure if I got a bad decant or what but smells very cheap.

Almost 1:1 copy of Sauvage Elixier with equal longevity and quality. I can say nothing negative. No need for the original

I asked girls about their opinion, they all said it smelled like after-shave/shaving foam and I can't agree more. They didn't like it.

Very close to SauvageElixir, but a little sweeter, less spicy and the lavender comes a little minty to my nose. Very good performance for10€

Reminds of elixir but to me is just a "mix of notes". People will get different takes on this. But yes it does remind elixir in a way.

Like Sauvage Elixir, its too strong for its own good. Its a spicy, ambroxan monster, which might best suit a gold chain wearing gangster.

Complexity in a bottle!
According to the general consensus, this is supposed to be a clone of Dior Sauvage Elixir. I haven’t smelt Sauvage elixir, though, so I’ll review this one as its own thing.

From Lattafa’s website:
Top Notes: Black pepper, Pineapple, Tobacco
Middle Notes: Coffee, Patchouli, Iris
Base Notes: Amber, Vanilla, Dry woods, Benzoin & Labdanum.

I seriously don’t know how Lattafa supposedly cloned Sauvage Elixir with whole different and unrelated notes! Makes me think they lie a lot about their notes.
I digress...

Now, Lattafa Asad opens up with a warm spicy accord, some dose of sweetness and a great amount of lavender.

As it begins to develop, it gets sweeter and sweeter. I get a slight feel of cinnamon in it.

When it starts to dry down, that’s when I get a shadow of the Sauvage DNA—I feel there’s ambroxan in this fragrance. It’s pretty obvious.
At a point, it’s asif the sweetness is toned down, and you’re left with a matured, unapologetic dark patchouli and a low dose of Vetiver, mixed with a noticeable woody note. But then again, it becomes sweet.
There’s also something in this, that vaguely and briefly reminds me of the baccarat rouge dna(maybe it’s the ambergris/ambroxan?)

On the deep dry down, it starts to mellow down into this kind of smokey and creamy sweetness with a very noticeable Amber accord.
This fragrance transitions so well, from sweet-spicy to woody, back to sweet, with lavender anchoring the whole sequence.

Lattafa Asad has quickly moved to being one of the tops on my list. It would comfortably make my ‘Top 5 fragrances in my collection’ list, currently. The scent is massively addictive.

Longevity on Asad is superb. I got 8hrs on my first wearing. Subsequently, I started to get 10hrs+ with a great amount of projection/silage. No issues with longevity here.

PS- To me, fragrance reviews are ‘fantasies’, as one can’t actually describe a smell to be fully understandable to the public. You’ll need to actually smell the fragrance to get the complete picture and grasp the ‘reality’ of the composition.

Thanks for reading.

Asad by Lattafa
Fragrantica rating: 4.43/5
Sweet, warm spicy, amber, powdery.
Initially, it doesn't t smell pleasant but it gets better and better as it dries down.
I could not find any performance issues. Easily lasts for 6 to 8 hours.
Overall, not something groundbreaking, but at the same time, not that bad either. This is surely a great value for money.
One thing that I don't understand is why people go to the extreme ends, some will go to one side of the extreme end claiming it to be the best clone of xyz ever and some will go to the other extreme end claiming it to be the worst perfume ever created in the history of mankind. Why is it so difficult to be reasonable?

Which elixir
I picked this fragrance up because I really love Sauvage elixir, but i couldn't see myself paying that much for a department store fragrance, it better be niche if I was going to do that. 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. You get the same spices and dark notes and for only 1/4 of the price.. Another stunner from the house of Lattafa, well done once again!

Not what I expected
I’m not sure if I got a bad decant of this or what. The decant I got was from a very reputable Decant company but this smells very cheap and does not even compare or come close to how great Dior Elixir is. I know it’s not supposed to be the same as Dior Elixir but based on so many positive reviews I thought this one was going to be a great fragrance but in my opinion this is horrible.

Wild Spice
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?

I honestly blind bought this fragrance after reading that it was a clone or 'inspired-by' fragrance for Dior Sauvage Elixir, the latest and rather expensive offering from this line by Dior. Unlike the previous versions of Sauvage which I quickly grew tired of, this evolution of the line captivated me, I was surprised by the substitution of the strong pepper notes of the predecessors for a mix of different spices, particularly nutmeg, cinnamon and something similar to aniseed or anise.

I don't allow myself to spend the kind of prices Sauvage Elixir retails for on a fragrance so I decided to take the plunge with Lattafa's more affordable option instead. Well, I wasn't disappointed. Asad was most surely inspired by the Dior, of course it's not 100% alike but there's no denying the similarity. I find the opening of Asad a little less remarkable or 'bright' than Elixir's, but I don't mind this too much as even though some character is perhaps lost, I find the drydown to be the nicest part!

In many ways Asad is like a toned down Sauvage Elixir*, it may not be the 'lion' compared to the Dior but it is in comparison to many other fragrances out there, certainly a little different, a little 'wild'. Anyone who likes spicy masculine fragrances which have both warmth and freshness, scents which have an unusual swagger about them should check this out (try DS Elixir in a store to get an idea what this is about as I don't think it's for everyone).

*Performance is still above average for me.
