Lattafa

I must say that at first I was a bit skeptical, but the perfume has grown the more I have used it. Lattafa Asad opens quite spicy and peppery, with a distinct warmth that quickly brings in vanilla / sweeter gourmand tones and a light leather/wood note in the background. When it starts to settle into the dry-down, it lands in a soft, creamy dry-down where praline/vanilla often takes over, with a continued hint of herbs/pepper left that makes it more masculine. With this, it doesn't become the type of vanilla scent that often takes over as other perfumes with vanilla tend to do. For the price range, it has an extremely good longevity. The projection is very strong for the first 2-3 hours with a very clear sillage, which makes it a “beastmode” in these two segments. It lasts at least 8 hours on the skin and significantly longer on clothes. Even though after 3 hours it goes a bit more towards medium in projection, it is still very sharp and clear, which often does not occur for perfumes in this price range. Overall, a very warm, sweet, and spicy/peppery perfume that suits cooler evenings and autumn/winter times, capturing attention and is clear in its character. It is very “Sharp” and very strong in scent, so it is very easy to overspray it, which also makes it possible to experience it as a bit too much, so be gentle with the spray goes a long way. Dior Sauvage Elixir vs Lataffa Asad: Lattafa Asad and Dior Sauvage Elixir have a similar dark, spicy, and adult vibe, which is why they are often compared. Elixir, on the other hand, is more complex, drier, and more refined with clearer spices and better depth in development. Asad leans more towards the sweet vanilla/gourmand side, is simpler in construction but delivers a lot of effect and strong performance for the money. 👉 Elixir = luxury, depth, and precision 👉 Asad = affordable, sweeter, and more direct. When you compare them side by side, they are very, very similar, and at first sniff in passing, it might be harder to tell the difference, but there is a difference in the whole. #lattafa #parfym #herrparfym

The first impression of this is that the fragrance pyramid is completely wrong! After a bit of online research, I likely found the right one (scents that completely match what my nose experiences) Head Note: Oregano, Pepper and Bergamot Heart Note: Frankincense, Opoponax, Amber and Labdanum Base Note: Leather, Agarwood, Sandalwood and Patchouli In the first seconds, I experience it as strong and fresh with masculine notes. But after just a minute, it changes character to a completely wonderful, feminine, deep dark green scent with a warm woody base. This is, in my opinion, a mature and rich fragrance, for evenings and colder seasons. It’s already a new favorite, and I will definitely buy a couple more as backup!

This is my second bottle. A truly beautiful and elegant scent – love at first spray😍. When I got it the first time last year, the pepper and patchouli were prominent. After it matured, the plum became more pronounced and sweeter, while the patchouli and pepper are in the background, making it much smoother.
