Asad Bourbon by Lattafa is the sweet side of the Asad legend. One of the most talked about releases of 2025, it swaps the original's dark pepper for lavender, cacao and a rich bourbon vanilla base, landing somewhere between a gourmand and a classic evening fragrance. Smooth, addictive and endlessly complimented.
The Scent Journey
The Opening: Bourbon opens fresh and inviting, with aromatic lavender and juicy mirabelle plum sharpened by a twist of pink pepper. It is brighter than you expect from the Asad name, drawing you in before the sweetness arrives.
The Heart: The middle deepens into cacao and nutmeg with a boozy touch of davana, a warm cocoa-spice accord that gives Bourbon its signature richness without ever turning heavy.
The Dry Down: The base is pure comfort. Bourbon vanilla melts into golden amber and earthy vetiver, leaving a smooth, softly sweet trail that hums on the skin deep into the night.

Longevity and Performance
Expect 7 to 9 hours on skin with a warm, noticeable scent bubble for the first few hours. It settles into a cosy skin scent that lasts through a full evening and lingers on collars and knitwear the next day.
When to Wear It
Suited to autumn and winter, and one of the easiest scents to wear day or night in cold weather. Bourbon shines on evenings out, dates and casual cold-weather days alike, making it a brilliant signature for the colder half of the year.
Asad Bourbon Within the Lattafa Family
The original Asad is darker and more peppery, while Bourbon is its smoother, sweeter brother. If the cocoa-vanilla character wins you over, Khamrah pushes the gourmand warmth even further. Browse everything in the full collection.

How long does Asad Bourbon last? Typically 7 to 9 hours on skin, with excellent presence in the first half of the evening and a soft trail after.
