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.

Sauvage Elixir but better (maybe)
This is a pretty obvious Dior Sauvage Elixir dupe, so let's get straight to the point without long life stories.
Sauvage Elixir is drier and contains licorice. Additionally, SE has a certain lavender/cinnamon sweetness. The spiciness is milder due to the nutmeg. SE is much more mossy (even though it's not listed in the official scent pyramid), slightly animalistic.
Asad, on the other hand, is fruitier and juicier, lacking a bit of depth in comparison. Instead of the lavender/cinnamon sweetness, there is a fruity sweetness here. I understand how some may get "Cola Cherry" - for me, it's more of a combination of pineapple with the balsamic warmth from the base note. The spiciness from the black pepper is much sharper.
Dior Sauvage appears very oriental due to its heavy reliance on base notes, while Asad omits the mossy and licorice and emphasizes the top note - hence it appears more geared towards the western audience than the original.
On the perfumery level, SE is absolutely a masterpiece, and the depth and wonderfully blended notes take you on a real scent journey (not to mention that Dior developed this scent, duplicating it requires less craftsmanship). But when it comes down to how I personally like to smell/be perceived, I prefer Asad.
The longevity of SE is better, but Asad's sillage is slightly stronger.
Price speaks for itself: 20 euros versus 160 euros for 100ml.

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.

Cola + Sweet + Spices = Asad. It is not an exact clone but for the price I was surprised at the quality. L/S decent for the price - 6+ Hours

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.

Spicy bubblegum yet a bit fresher than DAE which it does a great job of cloning. Projects like a beast so don’t overspray. Fantastic scent for price.

You're going to smell good, but you'll also smell like someone's dad. Oh btw, this sh*t cuts through the air like a sword. Don't over spray!
