Asad by Lattafa is the dark, spicy statement scent that made the whole Asad line famous. Built around black pepper, coffee and smoky tabac over a warm amber vanilla base, it is bold, confident and unmistakably masculine. If Khamrah is Lattafa's cosy side, Asad is its night-out side.
The Scent Journey
The Opening: Asad opens sharp and attention-grabbing, with black pepper and smoky tabac cut through by a flash of sweet pineapple. The fruit is a supporting act rather than the star, lifting the spice so the opening feels energetic instead of heavy.
The Heart: The middle turns darker and smoother. Rich coffee and earthy patchouli take over, softened by a powdery touch of iris that gives Asad a polished, dressed-up character.
The Dry Down: The base is where Asad settles in for the night. Warm amber, vanilla and dry woods blend with benzoin and labdanum into a smooth, slightly sweet spiciness that hums along on the skin for hours.

Longevity and Performance
Asad comfortably delivers 7 to 9 hours on skin, with a strong first couple of hours before it settles into a smooth, close scent trail. It wears effortlessly through a full evening, and on clothing it will still be there the next morning.
When to Wear It
Suited to autumn and winter and built for the evening. Asad shines on nights out, dates and occasions where you want to be noticed, and its spicy warmth makes it a natural cold-weather signature. In high summer heat the amber can feel heavy, so save it for after dark.
Asad Within the Lattafa Family
The original Asad sits at the head of a growing line. Asad Bourbon takes the DNA in a sweeter, more gourmand direction, while Asad Elixir is the deeper, more concentrated evolution for those who want maximum intensity. If you love rich and warming scents, Khamrah is the sweeter unisex counterpart from the same house, and the rest of our range is in the full collection.
