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.

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!

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?

This is not an Elixir dupe
The style of this fragrance is reminiscent of Elixir, but I would not say that this is a clone.
Compared to DSE, Asad is missing the massive amount of spices in the opening (nutmeg and cinnamon) and the licorice in the mid notes.

Overall, Asad is significantly sweater, less spicy and less balsamic. This fragrance turns out to be more casual, almost a dumb reach in fall and winter, while DSE is so much more rich and deep that is hard to pull off casually.

The takeaway message is that (at least to my nose) there are significant differences between Asad and Elixir. I do believe that Asad is a good fragrance, especially given the price, but not an exact dupe (I would quantify the similarity to 80%). The price difference is however well justified by Elixir's superior quality, richness, and performances.

Elixir clone
This stuff is incredible!! it's sweet but not too sweet, initial spray gives you that close resemblance to Sauvage Elixir but close and same vibe with good performance. The projection is not the great but sillage is on average range.

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