About This Fragrance
Lattafa Asad, launched in 2021, is one of the most celebrated affordable masculines in Middle Eastern perfumery — a fragrance named after the lion that immediately lives up to its reputation with a bold, complex composition that competes with fragrances costing three times more.
The opening of black pepper, pineapple and tobacco is immediately distinctive — the fruity freshness of pineapple against the sharp spice of black pepper and the aromatic warmth of tobacco creates a multi-dimensional first impression that demands attention. Coffee, patchouli and iris in the heart add dark, earthy depth with a hint of soft florality.
The base of amber, vanilla, dry woods, benzoin and labdanum is the composition's richest chapter — warm, resinous and deeply long-lasting. A fragrance that punches far above its price and has earned a devoted global following since its 2021 launch.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Lattafa Asad masculine or unisex?
Asad leans masculine with its tobacco-coffee-patchouli character but is listed as unisex. Women who enjoy bold, smoky orientals wear it confidently.
How does Asad compare to Asad Elixir?
Asad is the original — bolder with pineapple-tobacco-coffee at a lower price, ideal for casual daily wear. Asad Elixir adds saffron, frankincense and cashmeran for significantly more complexity — better for evenings and special occasions.
Is Asad a Creed clone?
No — Asad is an original composition, not a clone of any specific fragrance. The pineapple note draws Aventus comparisons but the tobacco-coffee-labdanum character is distinctly its own.
How long does Lattafa Asad last?
8-10 hours typically. The benzoin-labdanum-amber base is highly tenacious and can last even longer on clothing.
