I just got this in the mail yesterday and I gotta say. THIS IS A CERTIFIED BANGER!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥 a compliment beast and performance is also great!!! All I got to say is buy it
I do get great performance with this fragrance, smelled elixir at a local store loved it found this and when I got it I was not disappointed at all, i love this scent, doesn’t smell as high quality but that’s to be expected
iliked it so much i got two bottles under 25 bucks each because you never know it may get hard to or it go up in peice couldnt ressist this was a great review
Great job on your explanation on the difference between the OG and the clones it is a good one I get 7 plus hours on skin and 8 plus on Alexandria’s which is a master piece but if you on a budget this a great on👍
Yooo , awesome review. That is a good scent by lattafa . To me the licorice note is not as prominent as elixir. But still a great buy. Smells good and the longevity is great 😊. Splackah up!!
I have both Asad & Savauge Elixir. They are close enough for me. I sprayed 2 test strips its not much difference in the 2 to complain about. I also have Zanzibar, I really like it
Just subbed. I love Asad for sure. It's just not too little, not too much for an every day scent. I'm curious what you think of Amouage Jubilation XXV. My favorite juice all time.
Thanks bro! Welcome to the smell good family! Jubilation is a beautiful scent! I definitely will be adding a full bottle to the collection at some point!
Bruh, I've been saying Splakah since Jr high (1983). My parents inpired me in Fragrances like Dior, Guerlain, Lalique, Ysl ect. It's awesome knowing someone from another part of this space is saying Splakah 😂
I keep trying to like this more than I do. I'm getting something a bit medicinal. Kind of spicy menthol-ish, if that makes any sense. There is something in here that I wish was toned down so it was fresher. It is also noticeable to me in Oud for Glory. I havent smelled Sauvage Elixir, only the EDP. But this seems much harsher to my nose. I can tell it smells better in the air than up close but that kind of sucks. Anyway, not terrible or anything, just not as big of a fan as others seem to be. Thanks for the review.
Dedrick, if you want to look more boss, turn the tester strip around. The part you’re smelling from is called “the handle” that’s actually the part you hold. You’re suppose to smell from the smaller end. Anyway, thanks for the review👍 👌🤜
🤘🏾💪🏾🔥 Yessir !! I was stuck between getting this one or Alexandria version I went with the Alexandria version but I continue to hear good things about this one I still may pick it up from MET
@@dedrickhicksjr I got oud for glory in the mail yesterday... it not for me I'm find it a new owner lol... asad on the way tho.. we need a new top 10 clones in your collection.. Christmas coming
I don't know about $25 I haven't found it at that cheap plus ➕ shipping fragrance net maybe Amazon still $30+ just ordered a bottle..thank you for the review
I am pretty sure it needs to be macerated to get rid of the alcohol smell and unbalanced oil notes, i didn't have that problem with Alhambra TM line but i have it with Lattafa ana abiyedh and kismet Moscow, with Moscow its just too much alcohol and unbalanced, Rasasi hawas late 2022 batch i didn't smell anything i was so disappointed when i first got it, it's been macerating for a month now and huge difference but i guess they need more time 2-4 months, which now made me focus on looking into more of the Winter fragrances and let it macerate till winter instead of not enjoying fragrance in summer, i guess because i didn't know about that whole maceration process so i might just invest in a designer fragrance for now since they are already macerated
@@dedrickhicksjr hey brother thanks for the response, I'm from the Middle East, and i noticed many westerners on UA-cam look for clones which is excellent but ignore the original, i highly recommend you checking out Ajmal Shams (the OG) from the early 2000s when ysl M7 came out here people ignored it because it's a westernized Oud fragrance, Ajmal Shams was so hyped out to the point everyone bought it, the thing is with Arabian/Eastern houses the Oud in the fragrance is specified for example Old aged Indian oud is not the same as a Cambodian Oud, same with Musk and florals variety it's whole different market, But the majority of the new generation of Arabs now focus on designer and niche, the thing is there's so much of original here that are level of MFK or FM quality but waaaaay cheaper, i do have one fragrance that made me lucky with the lady's and lord have mercy the temptation it's like having Satan himself as a co pilot whispering to them lonely souls to sniff that man it works magic, unfortunately that fragrance I'll take to my grave LMAO and I don't know anyone who wears it and it never got reviewed, that's on you reviewers to figure out for me personally it got me lucky DAMN it's just not fair what it does to them poor thirsty souls MERCY
@@rakinchowdhury194 yes, I'm getting my Asad in couple of hours, I don't know how it smells like I don't know sauvage exiler but if the majority like it there's a huge chance I'll like it too, plus it's only 18usd, so what i learned from others about maceration is you spray 4 to 10 sprays and let it sit for 3-6 months or more pretty sure on the 4th month it'll be ready, some people don't put the cap on while its macerating, for me i cap it, i advice you to look into maceration, me personally when I'll get mine today, I'll shake spray shake spray shake spray, 7 to 10 times, then I'll leave it in the closet till winter every couple of weeks I'll shake it, and since the weather is hot I'll be getting winter clones like the OG M7 2002 and Versace man cologne and some lattafa and armaf and just let it sit and macerate till winter and when winter comes I'll get summer fragrances and let it macerate till next summer, clones are affordable and only price you pay is patience
I own Sauvage Elixir, beautiful, hands down the closest and best quality clone of this is Armaf Ventana, Beast mode and to my nose 95% replica of Elixir, give it a go.
Finally go my Lattafa Nebras Gold. It's so dam good 💯🔥👌. Thank you my good sir for telling about that one. Smell good fam, get it ✌️, thank him later 😁 Also got Paris corner killer oud midnight ecstasy. 🔥🔥🔥💯
I reviewed this on my channel and I gave it a 4/10. Excellent performance and value but it’s was waaaay to synthetic, grating and sharp. The girl hates it too!

It's nice to have an affordable alternatives even if it just gives you an idea on how the real thing may smell like cuz that sauvage is pricy here.
Agreed! Thanks for your support bro!
This stuff is awesome, real close to the real deal. Its 100 degrees and i want to wear it
It’s good.. some slight diffrences to me.. but big bang for your Buck

Nah I totally feel you! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Dries Van Noten lineup is worth looking into. Especially Cannabis Patchouli.👀🤔 They have a lineup of 10.
Dedrick, if you want to look more boss, turn the tester strip around. The part you’re smelling from is called “the handle” that’s actually the part you hold. You’re suppose to smell from the smaller end.
Anyway, thanks for the review👍 👌🤜
Lol.. thanks for the education bro & thanks for watching!
Order is on the way, can't wait to try it
It’s great! Hope you enjoy it!
How is it brother
🤘🏾💪🏾🔥 Yessir !! I was stuck between getting this one or Alexandria version I went with the Alexandria version but I continue to hear good things about this one I still may pick it up from MET
It’s good J! But Alexandria’s version is better imo. Definitely would like to hear your thoughts on this one for sure.
Got it smalls great
My brother this was a amazing review. Love asad got mines at Amazon for 41 dollars it is a killer fragrance.
Breaux!! I agree man.. it’s really good, bang for your buck.
I love it great not spending 175.00
Graet video! Is it good for the office?
Yes, I’ve worn it to the office!
I've got Asad. Dont have dior sauvage elixir to compare it to. But Asad is still really good for what it cost.
Definitely is! Big bang for your buck! Thanks for watching bro!
I had to hear about this fragrance from you. 👂👂
Good video bro does the dry down smell like oud for glory???
Thanks bro! No, these are 2 diffrent fragrances..
@@dedrickhicksjr I got oud for glory in the mail yesterday... it not for me I'm find it a new owner lol... asad on the way tho.. we need a new top 10 clones in your collection.. Christmas coming
@@yotoulminville8705 I feel you bro, it’s def not for everyone! Those videos definitely coming soon!
@@yotoulminville8705 it's been a month, how's asad been? The performance? Also is it anything like sauvage?
@@wolfmode69 it's good for the price... I dnt judge hours really and I spray heavy so .. but it smell good in the same ball park as dior
again great review product lattafa Asad ,yeah its a beast clone
Thanks bro! I agree! Thanks for watching!
I don't know about $25 I haven't found it at that cheap plus ➕ shipping fragrance net maybe Amazon still $30+ just ordered a bottle..thank you for the review
My Asad bottle macerated for a while. Afterwards, that harsh alcohol opening died down and is no longer present.
That’s Awsome to know! I hope my bottle does the same thing.. thanks for watching!

Preciate you Paul! Thanks for the recommendation! I’m definitely going to look into this one.. Thanks for watching!
Armaf Ventana clones OG Dior Sauvage, not the elixir
Armaf Ventana is a clone of Sauvage edt not elixir
@@talhahossain6894 to my nose I said, in my opinion it's closer to elixir than regular sauvage.
@@jasongarbett2527 I know, but I have all 3 and think it's a closer to elixir than regular sauvage, just my opinion.
How is the Alexandria elixir clone ? Is it worth paying $100 for 100ml? Or should I just pay more and get the original Dior elixir ?
The Alexandria clone is spot on! I prolly will never own a bottle of Dior sauvage elixir.
Much Success 🙌 God bless ❤️🙏
Thanks bro! As always preciate the support!
Like your video bro keep it up
I saw a review today i just happened to stumble across saying they got 3-4 hours & then it fell off. I tell ya...you cant just watch everybody
Skin chemistry is a thing, but this stuff is powerful!!
Would you say it’s an all year round wear?
No.. 3 seasons. Not for summer.
Same projection as 9pm from afnan? And sane quality of scent?
2 diffrent scents bro.. projection is strong with asad with nice quality.. Thanks for watching!
Can someone describe what this smells like? Not in terms of notes but in more relatable everyday terms.
Smells like Dior sauvage elixir.. spicy/woody/rich/ very masculine vibe.
I have the OG and the Alexandria version. The Alexandria version is a dead ringer for the original.
Definitely! I think so aswell!
Asad means lion in Arabic. That's a bang for the buck perfume! Compliment getter.
Definitely! Thanks for watching bro!
True story!
Ms. H! Thanks for watching!! I appreciate you!
So it’s a fall and winter clone not summer.
Finally go my Lattafa Nebras Gold. It's so dam good 💯🔥👌. Thank you my good sir for telling about that one. Smell good fam, get it ✌️, thank him later 😁
Also got Paris corner killer oud midnight ecstasy. 🔥🔥🔥💯
Joel!! Yea man it’s amazing! Thanks for getting back with me! #SmellGoodFamily
I reviewed this on my channel and I gave it a 4/10. Excellent performance and value but it’s was waaaay to synthetic, grating and sharp. The girl hates it too!
