I’m 31 and didn’t really start collecting until I turned 30. Growing up I always loved smelling good, but I didn’t really get into how great and how much of a statement piece fragrances really are until I was older. Something about adding a nice scent for different occasions just feels right to me now. And I have a feeling I’ll be into this for a lifetime.
Same here.. always interested.. but just buying here and there Probable because of fragrantica and all UA-camrs, it gets more interesting “Sadly” I just found about this last year.. Wish I knew 5 years ago to star sooner 😂
I can relate although bit younger I have always been buying fragrances since I was like 22 started getting into fragrantics around 23-24 5 years later I been buying all types and really getting into
This guy is so natural, simple, straight forward, not overwhelming like other guys, very fair, positivity, details, no pressure, what else? That is how the reviewers should be ! Right?
20% of my collection is clones and thank God because it's let me check out some super expensive frags I would have never spent big bucks on, discontinued frags, the original formulation of frags like Aventus (which I prefer over current one), and it has helped me expand my smell palette.
I ordered this last week and just received It yesterday. I will say it does smell about 85 percent like elixir. It's sweeter and it lasts about 7 on hours on skin and about 9 hours on my clothes. It's really a great scent and it's amazing in my opinion. Thanks again Dallas because I blind bought it off your review and I'm very happy with it.
@@kenmastersmaster it's a great clone. I get 7 to 9hrs on skin and 10hrs on clothes. I've gotten several compliments on it. It's just got a sweetness to it that Dior elixir doesn't have which I think makes it better
Hey Johnathan, thanks for your review, I want to pull the trigger on this but I have only tryed the original Suvauge and it was incredibly synthetic, so bad, that I gave it away. Dose the asad have any strong synthetic smell? I haven’t smelled the elixer but am very interested in asad
I just got my bottle of Asad. I haven't tried Savauge but geez if this smells like Savauge omg. On my skin, I LOVE this. I could see myself buying an extra bottle of this.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
i went to the mall and tried sauvage elixir and enjoyed that so I bought asad after watching some other review and it definitely smells close enough to my nose that I'm very happy with the purchase. I'm a casual though so I just really have no interest in spending like 6x the money to get the real deal in a smaller capacity (60ml vs 100ml) 🥴
I'm 63 and watch most of yours and Gentscents videos. I currently own 90 different fragrances. Very few clones mostly designers but I do have 7 PDM and 5 from Mancera 1 Amouage.
I been collecting men's cologne and into perfumery for almost 15 years. Never once have I been blown away, like legit blown away, until I smelled and bought and wore Oud For Glory. That is dead ass on point to Oud For Greatness. I mean I love the Oud For Greatness and had several decants to wear on special occasions. Now I can have that as a signature scent, and afford it.
My first blind buy, just got it, and for the price is more than good, cant compare with elixir cuz i tried elixir once and dont really remember the scent, asad smell very mature and im 33 but still feel young for this kind of smell but in the end its a personal preference so, i recomend it if u are a collector with at least more than 10 fragrances if dont than i sugest you to be very selective and get this only if you really like it.
I went out to outdoor events and parties these past couple of weeks and i kept smelling some beautiful fragrance in the air from men and women I thought their must be a popular unisex fragrance, fast forward and you posted a link to the lattafa Assad elixir clone I ordered it, blind bought it,and wouldn't you know that's the same fragrance I kept smelling in the air, but obviously those other people were wearing elixir. You did me a huge favor by posting that link.
@@samconnecticut1485 really? Because elixir has become the new sauvage, and I'm around wealthy people, you really think high status wealthy people are going to wear Assad? Use common sense.
Thank you so much! Not just for doing this one but also bringing it out all the hidden gems. I just ordered this one and the price jumped a few bucks but still it's a good deal. Perfumery has evolved so much in just a few years to where the clones are so spot on, it's more like a duplicate not a clone. I been on the fence to get Elixir for awile now and I hear great stuff on this. Lattafa has done great job on Oud For Glory. That is one that is a duplicate not a clone.
I just scored a bottle from a friend. In the opening it is more spicy/fizzy than the Dior, but as it dries down it becomes soooooo close. On my hoody, 1 spray smells amazing and projects for hours.
Just purchased Asad and I must say it is a really good impression. I find it slightly more wearable because the one from Dior gives a public toilet air freshener vibe where as the one from Lataffa doesn’t
Great review , I have been collecting since the mid to early 2000s and in that time I’ve acquired a collection of fragrances that I love that have been discontinued and reformulated so I buy clones of what I already own so I can keep my OGs on the shelf .
Love you for doing reviews of frags that are affordable. I'd never be able to buy a bottle of sauvage at this point of my life. I could buy a 5-10 ml decant but they evaporate
Perfect review my man! Yes, I agree, that the Asad Is probably ultimately much more wearable because it’s not so paint peeling in tents with that strong pepper and liquorice scent. The small amount of sweetness from the vanilla round it off beautifully… Just got it in a couple days ago and I absolutely love it.
I found Elixir from an online retailer for $82. In this instance and for that price, the OG was the only way to go. I haven’t tried the Lattafa. Judging by the review, I’m sure it’s pretty nice, but for now, Elixir, being so expensive and so singular and unique I’m glad I bought it. I have not smelled it on anyone else yet.
Your review is spot on and I wish I watched it before I purchased. I bought as a gift for a friend who uses sauvage edt and asked me for suggestions on new frags. I hadn’t sampled Asad beforehand but I have had the sauvage elixir. He did not like the Asad and the clove was a bit too much in this particular bottle. I love sauvage elixir but I’d never wear Asad honestly. And I am a fan of middle eastern frags, I have tons of oud and other types of frags from Saudi. So I’m used to ethnic scents, this just doesn’t smell enough like sauvage elixir to make the cut imo. It smells like someone wearing Sauvage elixir riding a sweaty camel at a spice market in Karachi tbh.
I bought Ete Sauvage Elixir from Alexandria Fragrances and it’s pretty fire. I haven’t got my nose on actual elixir but Alexandria made a nice fragrance. It reminds of the original dna but with less lavender , pepper , and ambroxan. Instead, the fragrance has a new kind of spicy sweetness and a new type of freshness. The clone has quickly become my favorite fragrance out of 30ish fragrances. Highkey
I find there to be quite a big difference between Asad and Elixir. Asad is very vanilla, and almost warm spicy. Elxir has quite a fresh spicy accord, that's the only way I can describe it. ASAD smells great tho, I agree it is mass appealing but significant differences IMO to Elixir. I picked mine up for about 20 dollars so well worth it
I disagree that there is quite a difference. Agreed that there is more vanilla… kinda smoother on the top. But having both, there’s not reason to stretch for Elixir if someone can’t afford it. You won’t miss much. But, elixir is just…. Better.
But doesn't spraying more of lattafa asad solve the projection and sillage problem? I mean I already have elixir and I spray 2 sprays each time and it's already beast mode from it which is great considering my 100 mL bottle of elixir will last a huge time, but if asad is gonna be that cheap (will cost me $22 in my country) then I might as well spray double or triple the amount of elixir to solve the performance, sillage, projection problems right?
I got it yesterday.Personally, I don't like the first smell when I spray it, but after a few minutes it is divine..Cheap(27€)and the smell lasts a long time
Am I the only one who thinks Sauvage elixir is too strong? What sold me on Asad is I heard someone say it’s not as strong and doesn’t project as much 👍🏽
Just like my palate with alcohol before i went sober couple of years back, my nose can't get these 'notes and hits' let alone 'mature and warm' ..... Buut i boight this after watching your video and i must say its amazing, thank you and you got a new subscriber :)
Im new to fragrance. I've used a couple fragrance before but then suddenly i'm hooked to this. And i must say, with all my heart fragrance is ant art. How they could remake and combining all of those scent like spices and vanilla and whatnot and you end up with a masterpiece. Really opened up a whole new world. Lets hope my wallet doesnt go broke. I'm already broke at the moment lol
@@Chopper140That proves its not about the price of the fragrance its about the smell. There's plenty blind smell reviews of fragrances on UA-cam with females prreferring the smell of the cheap fragrances over the expensive ones that cost 3 times more . When they take the blindfold off and realise they preferred the cheap fragrance over sauvage and creed etc they're in shock 🤣🤣
@@onpoint357Yeah I’ve seen a few of those videos! some woman named Monika Colognes on UA-cam who actively spoke out about how davidoff cool water smells cheap and artificial- Did a blind test with multiple other high end fragrances and guess what?she loved it and called it a sexy, fresh scent 😂
Own both and damn… it’s close. Asad is a little more smooth and vanilla/sandlewood and less licorice to me. But, if you don’t have the money, but Asad and you will have a complement getter. Elixir is just… better. It’s my favorite scent and I own more than 50 fragrances. If you have 8-10+ fragrances and want something different, buy Elixir! It’s literally amazing. But? If you don’t have the funds or are just starting, get Asad. Also, if you live somewhere warm/tropical, save your money and buy Asad for the few cooler months. Both fragrances are 35+ imo. If you are all dressed up, you could pull of either if you are dressed up in the winter.
This man just called us 36yr olds old 😄 hahahaha I’m here for the smell good fragrances bro. I’m just getting back into these yt clips. Thx for the video
Chaos you really got me into buying one, but when u said sillage and projection is not so good i kinda backed off. Can you tell me how many sprays you put, and if you put double the amount of sprays will it have a better projection?
I have this one coming in today and can't wait! I also already have Elixir, so thinking about layering the two. A few sprays of Elixir to get the projection, and a few more of Asad on top so as not to use so much of Elixir because it is so expensive.
@@brians2328 idk about him but even 5-15°c weather in Canada, 2-3 sprays max. elixir is nuclear n will choke ppl out, I usually go up to 5-10 sprays w other scents. W a nice brown suede jacket tho it kills in uni, most complimented by far
There's no way I'm spraying a few sprays of elixir and layering them with another fragrance. 2 sprays of elixir in warm weather and maybe 3 in autumn and spring
Hmmm, I swear as soon as someone reviews a cologne these stores jack up the prices! "$20-$30" can't find it for that anywhere, yes I get it Supply and demand but when I hear $20-$30 I expect to be able to find it for that. Best I found was $48.
I bought this from Dubai for 45 dollars plus 15 Dollars shipping after watching your last review introducing Asad and I'd have to say Asad is spot on I mean like spot on spot on a real fragrance hack
Such an amazing fragrance. Dunno about sauvage elixir but immediately reminds me of my dad’s lomani fragrance called BEST . But maybe much better quality. Thank you so much. ❤ your recommendation took me back to my childhood.
Chaos Fragrance-this is our society right now: expensive! Food, water, gas and cologne! (Which I’m not giving up-that and coffee!). This review made me feel better. Thank you.
I did a comparison so yall wouldn’t have to, and this is how it went. I’m Keep it real and honest 100%, I had a sample of Dior elixir and a bottle of asad, and let me tell you that Dior elixir and asad have the same exact opening you can’t tell them from each other. The asad stayed with the same opening throughout and smelled the same at rhe dry down. The dior elixir became more elegant, sexy, classy and the dry down was just beautiful I became obsessed, so please stop comparing these two, the Dior elixir wins and it’s pricy for a reason it lasts so long and the smell gets better from the opening to dry down.
I’m a fragrance noobie and I just bought asad and smelled it without knowing what the notes were. i said i think i’m getting some licorice in this just as a completely blind/instinct guess and it turns out I was right. That’s really cool to me because when I started I didn’t know anything about any notes and thought most men’s fragrances smell pretty much the same (my only prior experience with fragrances was adidas lmao.)
To me Asad is strong. I like strong but I went in to sneezing fits and that was with 2 sprays just testing. It's a good scent profile however just test on your skin before going crazy with the sprays.
I've had a bottle for a couple months and can not smell any sweeter notes. All it smells like is various spices. I don't enjoy at all, but will give it a few months and see if anything changes. Reading/hearing there are amber/pineapple/vanilla is blowing me away.
I give up! This is always sold out in the USA. The only option is to either pay double the price, or wait over a month for it to be purchased from India via Ebay! I give uuupp!!! Smh.
@@IceESole No. I gave in and paid the markup on Ebay. Now I see them re-stocked everywhere at normal prices. Maybe I'll just buy a backup bottle now. Lol.
@@IceESole Triple Traders has it for 29 bucks right now. I paid around 40 bucks on ebay, but don't remember the seller. Yes, it smells awesome! longevity and performance thru the roof. Definitely blind buy worthy.
I bought this and sold it. Wasn’t for me, and I haven’t tried elixir so it’s hard to say if it’s similar or not. But it just had a weird spicyness to it, much prefer my sauvage edp
@@Snk13_ty i'd say so yeah, the spicyness just caught me way off guard. It's definitely a refined taste so i wouldn't call it a 'crowd-pleaser', i'd rather stick with what works. CDNIM, sauvage, dylan blue etc
Just for a bottle yesterday and the performance is garbage. Smells good for 20-30 minutes and after 1-2h I can barely smell it on my skin.. Got the December 2023 batch might have to do something with that.. Honesty very disappointed because it’s super weak and just fades away 😢
I’m having a second thought on this one, I’m 21 and i kinda look like a teenager😆 It’s also kinda hot in my country, it’s a lil hot and sometimes rainy like florida. It’s always out of stock here so it’s really hard to find. Any thoughts if I should blind buy this?
Just bought it today, here is 34 EUR, to me its not the same like sauvage elixir, but overall it smells good... And on my skin, elixir have some vibes from Lolita Lempicka eau maschuline..
Asad is not a really good option for summer. You can purchase nautica voyage as your only summer fragrance, it's great no-brainer fragrance that has a safe scent around it.
Tested it yesterday and I don't think this is for me like an Indian(tho am living in ME) I sprayed couple of times in my hand and whenever I smelled it I felt like I entered into a spices shop.
Mine arrived today . I bought it as a blond buy . It has a very strong and overpowering scent . One spray got down my throat very quickly and ended up starting to annoy me . I had to wash it off in the end . I wouldn’t recommend.
Hi there, could you please tell me is it "for external use only" label at the bottom of the bottle? I bought it after watching your video, yet the scent is weak for me. I just smell the alcohol mostly. Thanks
I give up! This is always sold out in the USA. The only option is to either pay double the price, or wait over a month for it to be purchased from India via Ebay! I give uuupp!!! Smh.
I actually pick up on a LOT of sandalwood in my bottle of asad. I don't know how I feel about this one. It smells great, but there is just something about it that annoys me. I get whiffs of something in it that gives off a mom and pop knick knack store lol. It might be the clove? I have been wearing SF Uomo Signature and to my nose it reminds me a bit of elixir/asad and I prefer Uomo Signature.
Glad you said this. I was expecting something different but it smells similar to Uomo signature - I do enjoy it and can’t wait to see how it performs. I just hope I don’t smell like an old person. Lol
To me asad smells like Drakkar intense and PDM layton due to apple incense and vanilla.....but i know its Ellixere dna because lattafa tweaks all original Fragrances under the Lattafa brand.....if you want 101 clone from them you can buy their maison alhambra brand..
PURCHASE ASAD FOR CHEAP!

Elixir is just… better. It’s my favorite scent and I own more than 50 fragrances. If you have 8-10+ fragrances and want something different, buy Elixir! It’s literally amazing. But? If you don’t have the funds or are just starting, get Asad. Also, if you live somewhere warm/tropical, save your money and buy Asad for the few cooler months. Both fragrances are 35+ imo. If you are all dressed up, you could pull of either if you are dressed up in the winter.
This man just called us 36yr olds old 😄 hahahaha I’m here for the smell good fragrances bro. I’m just getting back into these yt clips. Thx for the video
Good stuff…love my Lattafa …thx for the awesome content….keep it rocking 😎 bro…..
Gas here in UK is $8 gallon, £1.90 per litre
Asad here in the uk has jumped in price quite a bit. I managed to get in on it when it was around £20. It’s amazing for the cash, a great purchase.
Its 13$ were i live😂
Got it for £25..
Definitely smells more expensive. It's fresher than Elixir and the dry Lavender isn't overtaking the scent profile like in Elixir.
It’s $40 here in my country 😬
Just ordered it yesterday for £25
You can buy in UK for £16.99 with free delivery
Chaos you really got me into buying one, but when u said sillage and projection is not so good i kinda backed off. Can you tell me how many sprays you put, and if you put double the amount of sprays will it have a better projection?
I have this one coming in today and can't wait! I also already have Elixir, so thinking about layering the two. A few sprays of Elixir to get the projection, and a few more of Asad on top so as not to use so much of Elixir because it is so expensive.
What's the verdict?
@@brians2328 idk about him but even 5-15°c weather in Canada, 2-3 sprays max. elixir is nuclear n will choke ppl out, I usually go up to 5-10 sprays w other scents. W a nice brown suede jacket tho it kills in uni, most complimented by far
There's no way I'm spraying a few sprays of elixir and layering them with another fragrance. 2 sprays of elixir in warm weather and maybe 3 in autumn and spring
Hmmm, I swear as soon as someone reviews a cologne these stores jack up the prices! "$20-$30" can't find it for that anywhere, yes I get it Supply and demand but when I hear $20-$30 I expect to be able to find it for that. Best I found was $48.
Same
Performance on this is crazy....I get 12 hours plus easily
Absolute banger
I bought this from Dubai for 45 dollars plus 15 Dollars shipping after watching your last review introducing Asad and I'd have to say Asad is spot on I mean like spot on spot on a real fragrance hack
Asad fades faster dior starchs out the notes much better then the knock off but this is right on the money clone wise... Seriously
Such an amazing fragrance. Dunno about sauvage elixir but immediately reminds me of my dad’s lomani fragrance called BEST . But maybe much better quality. Thank you so much. ❤ your recommendation took me back to my childhood.
Chaos Fragrance-this is our society right now: expensive! Food, water, gas and cologne! (Which I’m not giving up-that and coffee!). This review made me feel better. Thank you.
Me too, fragrances and coffee! 👍🙏
I did a comparison so yall wouldn’t have to, and this is how it went. I’m
Keep it real and honest 100%, I had a sample of Dior elixir and a bottle of asad, and let me tell you that Dior elixir and asad have the same exact opening you can’t tell them from each other. The asad stayed with the same opening throughout and smelled the same at rhe dry down. The dior elixir became more elegant, sexy, classy and the dry down was just beautiful I became obsessed, so please stop comparing these two, the Dior elixir wins and it’s pricy for a reason it lasts so long and the smell gets better from the opening to dry down.
Can’t afford Elixier so we’re going for asad
I’m a fragrance noobie and I just bought asad and smelled it without knowing what the notes were. i said i think i’m getting some licorice in this just as a completely blind/instinct guess and it turns out I was right. That’s really cool to me because when I started I didn’t know anything about any notes and thought most men’s fragrances smell pretty much the same (my only prior experience with fragrances was adidas lmao.)
To me Asad is strong. I like strong but I went in to sneezing fits and that was with 2 sprays just testing. It's a good scent profile however just test on your skin before going crazy with the sprays.
I've had a bottle for a couple months and can not smell any sweeter notes. All it smells like is various spices. I don't enjoy at all, but will give it a few months and see if anything changes. Reading/hearing there are amber/pineapple/vanilla is blowing me away.
Just received mine today. Man, it smells great. My wife likes it as well.
I give up! This is always sold out in the USA. The only option is to either pay double the price, or wait over a month for it to be purchased from India via Ebay! I give uuupp!!! Smh.
@@mrmozez1500 found it?
@@IceESole No. I gave in and paid the markup on Ebay. Now I see them re-stocked everywhere at normal prices. Maybe I'll just buy a backup bottle now. Lol.
@@mrmozez1500 which seller?.. does it smell good?..
@@IceESole Triple Traders has it for 29 bucks right now. I paid around 40 bucks on ebay, but don't remember the seller. Yes, it smells awesome! longevity and performance thru the roof. Definitely blind buy worthy.
I bought this and sold it. Wasn’t for me, and I haven’t tried elixir so it’s hard to say if it’s similar or not. But it just had a weird spicyness to it, much prefer my sauvage edp
did it seem too synthetic?
@@Snk13_ty i'd say so yeah, the spicyness just caught me way off guard. It's definitely a refined taste so i wouldn't call it a 'crowd-pleaser', i'd rather stick with what works. CDNIM, sauvage, dylan blue etc
Agreed. The opening is a bit odd. BUT THE DRYDOWN. Ouufff. Spicy creamy vanilla. So addictive and long lasting!!
@ajay patel - where do you sell your colognes if you don’t like it ? Is there a specific website for it ?
@@rohankapoor5392 just on ebay mate
How many here have tried Asad, how is the performance?
I do agree with you.
LIKE IT OR NOT
Clones are there.
ALIVE AND KICKING.😏✌️
HOLD ON HOLD ON HOLD ON…my guy you’re only 22 years old?! This whole time I thought you were 32
No way hes 22
I was thinking he was around 28!
sir...which one is better TF ombre Leather or Dior Elixer... i want to buy only one.. please do suggest
I got my Asad bottle the other day. I can't say enuff good about this. It's amazing and it's thick. Love it.
Just for a bottle yesterday and the performance is garbage. Smells good for 20-30 minutes and after 1-2h I can barely smell it on my skin.. Got the December 2023 batch might have to do something with that..
Honesty very disappointed because it’s super weak and just fades away 😢
I’m having a second thought on this one, I’m 21 and i kinda look like a teenager😆 It’s also kinda hot in my country, it’s a lil hot and sometimes rainy like florida. It’s always out of stock here so it’s really hard to find. Any thoughts if I should blind buy this?
Buy it im 17 but this shit smells amazing its given me old spice vibes
Enjoying Asad!!!
Just bought it today, here is 34 EUR, to me its not the same like sauvage elixir, but overall it smells good... And on my skin, elixir have some vibes from Lolita Lempicka eau maschuline..
Im 19yo and i always watch ur videos
Is Asad ok to wear for summer? I know its only $30, but im needing more warm weather frangences. I own too many winter frangrances.
Asad is not a really good option for summer. You can purchase nautica voyage as your only summer fragrance, it's great no-brainer fragrance that has a safe scent around it.
Tested it yesterday and I don't think this is for me like an Indian(tho am living in ME) I sprayed couple of times in my hand and whenever I smelled it I felt like I entered into a spices shop.
Which is better, this or detour noir?
Mine arrived today . I bought it as a blond buy . It has a very strong and overpowering scent . One spray got down my throat very quickly and ended up starting to annoy me . I had to wash it off in the end . I wouldn’t recommend.
Thanks My Guy,Stay Gold!!👍👍
Maybe spray some ambroxan and layer with asad , would probably project a lot stronger that way
Great 👍🏻 Review ! As always !
I'm getting a strong incense note from a bottle of Asad that I got on Amazon. Is that normal and is it possible I got a weird batch from Lattafa?
I think the bottle looks really nice actually
How is the quality compared to Elixir? Sometimes these clone houses push out stuff that just smells cheap
Hi there, could you please tell me is it "for external use only" label at the bottom of the bottle? I bought it after watching your video, yet the scent is weak for me. I just smell the alcohol mostly. Thanks
keep the clones coming dallas
Asad is my work bag everyday carry scent here in sunny Swamp Ass South Fla.
I give up! This is always sold out in the USA. The only option is to either pay double the price, or wait over a month for it to be purchased from India via Ebay! I give uuupp!!! Smh.
I dont know if I got an off batch but it turned sour/vegetal on me. had to be washed off. Imma save up for Sauvage Elixir
Nice review! 👋😀👍
Can you wear asad in the spring and summer
So where do you buy all these Afnan, Lataffa and middle Eastern brands? Usually there all out of stock. Any other websites that ship to europe?
I live in Sweden and I get every clones that he mentions
I actually pick up on a LOT of sandalwood in my bottle of asad. I don't know how I feel about this one. It smells great, but there is just something about it that annoys me. I get whiffs of something in it that gives off a mom and pop knick knack store lol. It might be the clove?
I have been wearing SF Uomo Signature and to my nose it reminds me a bit of elixir/asad and I prefer Uomo Signature.
Glad you said this. I was expecting something different but it smells similar to Uomo signature - I do enjoy it and can’t wait to see how it performs. I just hope I don’t smell like an old person. Lol
I got this fragrance and it smells ok but for some reason I get absolutely no longevity from it maybe less than 2 hours for me
I love assad
Assad is just on the sweeter side than elixir. It takes long to settle to the smell of elixir.
thanks for the review
have you tried this clone , apparently it's a DHI /uomo intense clone is called BenettonUnited Dreams Dream Big For Men
I have it but it doesn’t have the sillage that elixir has, but 25$ soo..
How much of a performance?
@@nicolasfarah2092 very good on clothes
To me asad smells like Drakkar intense and PDM layton due to apple incense and vanilla.....but i know its Ellixere dna because lattafa tweaks all original Fragrances under the Lattafa brand.....if you want 101 clone from them you can buy their maison alhambra brand..
Is this better or Alhambra (Savio elexir) .. thanks for the review
If I'm not wrong, alhambras clones are closer to the original, but lattafas perfumes are a similar, but has it's own smell.
Hey is this better than Ete Sauvage Elixier by Alexandria?
I'd rather have clove than licorice, so this will work for me I think.
Just bought Lattafa Asad and wasn't really impressed , It's kind of harsh and smells like spice's & herbs .. I get a creed aventus vibe as well ...
could you do a video on versace pour homme oud noir? or a versace pour homme buying guide for the three fragrances? i think that would be a hit
Shhhhh, stop yelling about Versace best kept secret. It is discontinued. More for me.
I really like the Elixir.
