The warm brother
The Asad is a really great and pleasant fragrance. The parallels to the Sauvage Elixir are of course unmistakable, but it still goes in a different direction. Compared to the "original", I think the Asad is a little warmer, especially in the drydown, where the intense spices of the elixir are replaced by vanilla. As with almost all Arabic dupes, the first few seconds are unpleasant, but that's probably a fair trade when you consider the price. In my eyes, this is a version of the elixir that is even more suitable for the masses.

I absolutely agree! For me H/S not quite as strong as the Elixir but a wonderfully vanilla drydown.

Top, thank you. And: I'm not the only one who has noticed this with the somewhat unsightly start of the Arabic dupes. It's the same with practically all of mine...but fortunately it usually only lasts about 15 minutes...
