Lattafa Asad EDP 100ml

If you love Dior Sauvage Elixir - Asad is Lattafa's take on the intense, dark-masculine territory made famous by Dior Sauvage Elixir, widely discussed across the fragrance community as one of the closest, most consistently recommended alternatives at a fraction of the price.

Questions about this perfume

How long does Asad last?

The product page rates it very strong, typically 8-12 hours with excellent projection for the first few hours - the longest published wear in the Lattafa range after Oud for Glory.

Is Asad really as good as Dior Sauvage Elixir?

Asad is widely discussed across the fragrance community as one of the closest, most consistently recommended alternatives to Sauvage Elixir at a fraction of the price, and its own product page places it in that territory. It is not identical - the spicy-amber-vanilla DNA and the confident, room-filling presence are in the same family, but the two are different compositions. At £22.00 against a designer price, it is the value argument that made Asad famous.

Can I wear Asad to the office?

Asad is evening-first - save it for evenings. It can stretch into daytime in winter, but keep it to two sprays.

How many sprays should I use?

Two to three sprays is enough. Asad projects heavily, so one spray too many turns a compliment into a complaint. Spray once on the neck and once on each wrist, then stop.
