The part about having to wait 6 months for a fragrance to macerate to get what you paid for - I've had the same issue with multiple well known and expensive designer brands. This is not just a Lattafa/clone issue.
I completely agree with everything you said within this review, except for the fact that my Asad was fantastic right out of the gate and only improved a wee bit, even after a good 6 months of ownership. For me, the big plus for going with Asad is the versatility and wearability in multiple situations. I walked through a spray of DSE and found it basically unwearable in my own home. My wife, not so politely, asked me to wash it off… And I had to agree with her, mainly. Superb quality the DSE but just too potent unless wearing it out at a club or in a huge venue
I really wouldnt advise getting Sauvage Elixir if you work in a densely populated office space or just around a place where a lot of people are in general. Good fragrance but its ridiculously strong. So much so I feel that I can offend people instead of them appreciating its smell.
Tried this out and sold it off. Yes while it does somewhat remind me of Sauvage elixir, it just felt “flat”, like with Sauvage elixir it felt punchy and multi faceted, but sad was not having any of that, just synthetic and flat.
Asad is stronger than 90% of cheapies I own, maybe more. Lingered in my apartment from sprays hours before. May not compete with elixir’s performance but I got good performance for a inexpensive fragrance
I got Asad and mine is super super strong with projection of more than 4 hours(atleast one and half arms length) after about 1 month of maceration. My wife cannot get enough of me when I wear it. I am a 20 sprays guy however, Asad I only do 6 to 8 sprays. I also prefer the sweeter dry down of Asad compared to Dior
I firstly bought Asad which smells great. Yes it does need time to macerate. However I liked the scent profile so much that I bought the OG Sauvage Elixir. Alas I moved Asad on. If the spicy classic men’s scent profile is not your favourite then Asad will work fine for you. On the other hand the magic is definitely in the OG.
Last week I got Asad for only $13 at local discounter. With this price level I can't complain much. To my nose it's 85-90% similar to DSE. The longevity is good for 6-7 hrs with 2 hrs strong projection, still a good performer for $13. So yeah, compared to $130 fragrance, it's a very very good alternative.
@@ChadSecrets And yeah most of Arabic fragrances need to be macerated for couple months to 'reveal' their true potential. I think the house hasn't macerated their fragrances yet due to financial reason, so they don't have to spend more money to macerate instead they focus on producing more products.
To be fair, I've never had this issue with my Lattafas. I have Asad, Amethyst, Oud for Glory, Majd al Sultan, Opulent Oud, and Ajwaa. All totally wearable from the first day. I've only had Amethyst and Oud for Glory for over 3 months, but those were strong from the start with no notable change so far or any awkward smells that took time to go away. Only Majd al Sultan seemed weak on the first wearing, but upon second spraying in the evening it was strong and even caught me some compliments. Am I really that lucky, with so many different fragrances? Or are we just being overly sensitive as fragrance nerds and making small defects into a huge deal?
I actually own both and I feel that Asad is way more synthetic and “tickles” your nose when you smell it, it smells rough Elixir smells absolutely divine, it doesn’t give me that rough feel like Asad, it’s beautiful Elixir is undoubtedly aggressive but it doesn’t give me that “sandpaper” feel when smelling it like Asad
After watching your review I’ve decided I’m going to buy Lataffa, finish it and the buy DSE. I have tried DSE and it was an amazing profile. I think I might appreciate even more after going through Asad.
I was thinking about getting Asad but I did some research and found Enigma Une. It's supposedly closer to Sausage Elixir and less artificial than Asad or Salvo Elixir but has slightly worse projection than Asad. In my country (Poland) people on fragrantica say Asad is for older men, they dont like it and give it away for their grandpas 😂 I think I'll buy both tho. And maybe Gisada Ambassador Intense later
I just received my Lattafa Asad and here is my review: The first thing I checked was the manufacturing date which is April 2024 so it has been already 4 months, therefore it should be considerably stable by now. I can smell the clones easily. Maybe its natural but I feel the wrong composition of chemicals. Hard to explain, easy to tell. I sprayed it and immediately got the feel of a clone. Edit: I waited for 1.5 hours and now the smell is much better and close to Sauvage Elixir.
I plan on buying some Lattafa fragrances for next Fall/Winter. I figured I'd buy them when that weather comes, but from what you've said about them sitting, would it be worth just buying them now?
@@mustafaaa772 I’ve smelt the original and asad and I’d say it doesn’t have the longevity! I get far more compliments from suqraat , fakhar silver or najdia
the only honest guy ive seen on youtube for perfume reviews, everyone else is like a bot, same script and no real review, thanks a lot bro i just subscribed bec of this :)
I prefer Engima Une over Asad, it's more potent and less synthetic to the original. And yes I do think It's kinda absurd amd dumb not to use and macerate middle easterns or fragrances just to make the best out of it. But can we complain about it? No, it's already dirt cheap and I guess that's the only cons to it. My takes are subjective so yea
hey there, I don't know about news connected with this fragrance, but I think they changed something. I bought a bottle of it around 2 weeks ago and it's great. It has very cool atomiser which is very similar to moschino toy boy's atomiser. It has a very good longevity without any exaggerations I had around 10-12 hours from which 2 outdoors and 10 indoors, maybe only some changes with smell, because when I only tested it , it was as you said not very good, but in the same day but a little bit later , it became very good, too be honest I guess in this case it is a fragrance that inspired by dior sauvage not a clone, bur I still like. In my opinion it's better to buy it instead of dior sauvage, and spend other money on a solid fragrance collection, or buy different niche fragrances for example from orto parisi, because this scent it's like total power for the whole year, and I guess the best plus of it is the performance
How does the maceration work? How long do I need to leave it to macerate? Does it reset the maceration If I put on the asad after a month or so to test it?
It just basicslly matures. The longer the time goes by since your original spray it will get a bit stronger. To me its most noticeable difference is withen the first month with subtle changes afterwards
I’m on the fence on manceration, as it’s a big reason in the cost as your designer and niche have the process already done Sometimes though, it has to be done, and I’ve done this with Asad and winter or other seasonal clones so they are ready for when said season comes That being said, Asad is a more “fresh” take of elixir due to the pineapple note in it. A absolute potent clone (imo) of elixir is dua’s version of it, 14 hours for me. One week manceration Insane Another one that I recommend checking out is Alexandria fragrance’s version of elixir, and I plan on trying ALT’s version of it this winter as well
I actually have no experience with dua yet but i do hear they make some nice offerings! Im sure there are some clones of Elixir out there that come closer but this one just gets all the hype so i needed to see for my self 😁
What batch of elixir do you have? I tested it multiple times with 2022 and 2023 batches and I found them to not last or project that great on skin and clothes too. I've look online and some people complain that in 2022 they were reformulated.
They were not reformulated to the best of my knowledge. People just go noseblind to it! Usually you should only worry about reformulations if an ingredient or note gets banned which to my knowledge has not happened since the release of elixir
@@ChadSecrets I think lilial was banned in 2022, but I might be wrong. I also thought that it might be nose blindness, but even on my clothes it doesn't stay as long as other fragrances that I have.
That is true, however i dont remember it being in here. I could be wrong but i will say i have compared with newer testers in stores and its still the same to me
A QUICK QUESTION : I'm thinking i'd buy both and wear 2 sprays of Dior Sauvage Elixir and layer it off with a few more sprays of Asad. In that way, the flavor profile will be more pronounced and niche.
I appreciate you watching my videos! I will attend some Toronto fragrance meet ups in the near future and will post on my instagram if i will be attenting 😁
I threw Asad in the garbage when I got it. Way too synthetic. I fell in love with Sauvage Elixir. Its an unchained beast in performance. More importantly the scent profile is my style.
Not all people afford to buy expensive fragrances as you do bro.. maybe you're rich af but personally for me, i wouldn't buy fragrances only contain 60ML that costs more than 200 bucks. It's ridiculous. In the end its all subjective.
I would say that there are definitely a lot more synthetic fragrances out there than sauvage elixir. But im sorry to hear it didnt work out for you. Always sample first
@ChadSecrets I'm sure there are, but I don't own any of them. Sauvage Elixir goes for close to 200 euros in my country, so a friend bought me a bottle at Dubai Airport on the way home. With so much hype about it, basically saying it was the best thing to happen to perfumery since sliced bread, I had been sure it would be great. Now I know never to trust anything on TH-cam.
@@ChadSecretsguy above doesn’t know what synthetic even means. Actually what does that term even mean when it comes to perfume?? All perfume is synthetic. Anyways, SE is harshly aromatic but I don’t any of the spices or lavender are any more synthetic than anything else on the market. If anything it actually smells pretty natural - harsh - but natural.
Maybe give it some time. First time I tried Elixir I hated it after an hour and I thought it smelled like my local Indian restaurant 🙃 It smelled cheap and synthetic to my friend who's not into fragrances. But the more I tried it the more I fell in love with ti
Been waiting for this one for a long time. Btw the motorcycle is absolutely destroyed... ya live and ya learn, ima sell it and get a part time job, and buy a newer model... this mistake costed me about 300 euro and about 8 months of my life of pure pain. Ya live and ya learn😂
@@ChadSecrets 1100 euro of mistakes have been done, and about 8 months of constant saving. Well, what can i do now, see what i can do to get out of this doomed situation i put myself into. Don't get me wrong, i am taking it as a lesson and i definitely learned it. The lesson is to never ever listen to anybody else about what i should buy. Do my own damn research, not rely on my family making suggestions, cause at the end of the day, i am the one getting absolutely F7UCKD when sh1t goes wrong. Well, at least i am healthy and alive, at the end of the day, this matters most.
@chad secrets,could you suggest a good budget friendly summer fragrance, knowing that I don't like a strong and heavy fragnance and that I like an Aquatic, fresh; citrusy,floral, flowery and Lightly sweet fragnance.
These jump into my mind first: Versace Man Eau Fraiche, Versace Pour Homme, Tom ford Costa Azzura Parfum or edt, Acqua di Gio EDP, Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme Let me know if you have tried these because i think they match your description
@@ChadSecrets Thanks alot. Will try them and let you know. Acqua di gio EDP is slightly powdery but sweet and masculine and not that fresh and floral and aqautic tbh.
This is no where close original elixir. I got the asad and after two sprays I got headache. Too loud and not pleasant at all. Plz don’t go for the clone. Elixir fantastic one

Superb quality the DSE but just too potent unless wearing it out at a club or in a huge venue
Yeah DSE is a beast that needs taming for sure haha.
I really wouldnt advise getting Sauvage Elixir if you work in a densely populated office space or just around a place where a lot of people are in general. Good fragrance but its ridiculously strong. So much so I feel that I can offend people instead of them appreciating its smell.
Tried this out and sold it off.
Yes while it does somewhat remind me of Sauvage elixir, it just felt “flat”, like with Sauvage elixir it felt punchy and multi faceted, but sad was not having any of that, just synthetic and flat.
Yeah i had to let mine sit for the depth to come out. Which should not need to be done. Next time i will take that fact into my review score 💯
Asad is stronger than 90% of cheapies I own, maybe more. Lingered in my apartment from sprays hours before. May not compete with elixir’s performance but I got good performance for a inexpensive fragrance

I am simply doing it to all my parfumes and that us let them sit after first use, and this one does better after letting it sit!

great video but No I bought this & used it for months, it is not worth it... just save up and get the elixir.
There is a reason Asad sells so well. As much as i agree with you

I do too!
sir...which one is better TF ombre Leather or Dior Elixer... i want to buy only one

Both are great though!
What’s the difference between Sauvage and Sauvage Elixir?
They are completely different fragrances. Elixir doesn't smell like sauvage its its own thing

Thanks for watching!!
I saw a perfume by khadlaj. It is Khadlaj Ghaith they say it is better than Asad.
Never tried any Khadlaj fragrances my self!
how long should this sit?
A month or so
10 years 👍
Are we really comparing all features of a $20 cologne with a $200 cologne?
@dylantraylor6527 yes we are. Because a lot of people go into this expecting Asad to replace Elixir. So i deliver
This is no where close original elixir. I got the asad and after two sprays I got headache. Too loud and not pleasant at all. Plz don’t go for the clone. Elixir fantastic one
@Ramgaruda i like Elixir better, but i definitely think Elixir is the louder one
DSE to me smells like incense ish does asad smell similar?
I answer the differences in this video 😁
I get licorice in Assad!
It could be there im just not getting that same licorice from the dior so its not as noticeable to me 🤷♂️
