Asad is legit, for me it's better than Elixir. I do like Elixir but Asad for a fraction of the price is just a no brainer. The vanilla makes it softer and more versatile as well.
When I first got asad it flipped my world up side down! At this point I had already amassed a large fragrance collection. Asad showed me that knowledge is power and money is a weak indicator of how good a fragrance can be. I can say confidently that of all the clones, designers, and niche fragrances I have asad has the best price to value ratio hence why it damn near gave me a mid fragrance collection crisis.
Absolutely. The value and quality of the Middle Eastern fragrance house products are so high that it really gives me pause and makes me wonder about the quality of the designer products and how much they're overcharging us for that quality. To be fair, there are also French and American houses also produce insanely high value high quality colognes as well, it's not just the Middle Eastern houses. But you do have to do some research and consider buying online to maximize your value per dollar.
@BrokenTengu99 for me it projects and leaves a scent trail for 6 hours before becoming a little more of a skin scent On clothes, the shit lasts 12 hours
I've got elixir and asad and even though they smell similar elixir is way more rich and the oil concentration is of super high quality. iv literally never had a compliment from asad but every time I wear elixir it blows peoples minds lol can't be out for an hour in public without getting at least 1 compliment. all the compliments iv had from elixir have all been women which is even better lol. I literally gave asad to one of my mates.
I love Asad and it was great seeing you review it. Honestly, you'd have to have them both side by side and be a very experienced cologne user to be able to spot any difference.
This is one of my favorite fragrances out there. I smelled Dior Sauvage Elixer the other day and I actually don’t like it. Lattafa Asad takes Elixer and makes it better and less synthetic smelling
When i first bought it it was projecting 1.5 hour and lasting 6 to 7 hours , now after 6 months it projects for minimum 2 hours strongly and lasts on skin 10+ hours. 1 of my favourite❤
@@shubham9672 personally I think both are very similar in the first 3 to 4 hours of course elixir higher quality on the initial application . Asad is very cheap get a bottle use it if you like it test elixir in any mall and compare
Here in Brazil, these clones of different Arabic brands gained a huge space, since the original fragrances arrive in our market with an absurd value due to the value of the currency and the tax burden, the sauvage elixir costs the value of a month of work an ordinary worker, was very excited to see Michella's reviews on them, thanks Curly, love you
A whole month salary? Dang. You be showing a worker the 60ml bottle and be like this is what you built roads during the whole month for. Thats cold B Lol.

Hey Curly. It’s great that you are also reviewing clones, and yes they are even cheaper in Dubai than in Europe. I paid 30€ for Asad and it’s a great fragrance considering the price. It’s not beastmode like Sauvage Elixir but still very strong, and like you said it’s more likeable. I am very happy with it and got many positive reactions. Great review as always ❤️
@@kenmastersmaster Yeah the jack up is just tremendous. I don't disbelieve that some real niche obscure hipster houses are using the finest rare Himalayan orchids hand picked by the fair trade indigeneous Sherpas of this obscure Nepalese village of etc. etc. but...I really don't believe the designers are doing this, in fact in many cases it's just ambroxan and random synthetics anyway since you can't even use ambergris or musk or anything, and so it's often questionable outside of niche even if they are using real sandalwood or oud. So at the end of the day in most cases what you really are paying for is just the brand. It's at least not as bad as say Apple, where Apple literally makes inferior products using child slave labor and ruining the environment and all yuo get is the cheapest, most shitly made and bad performing laptop that dies in two years (if you're lucky, more likely it starts failing in a year).
The quality of Elixir is SUPERIOR. And it's a projecting beast. And I definitely want people to smell me. That 30% or 20% overwhelming dominance compared to the rest of the perfumes is the punch I need. Thanks Curly, A very enlightening review!
Asad has become my new signature scent. I wish it was more beast mode. But, I take a decant to work and reapply at lunch. Last week I sprayed Asad on my hands and the woman who sits next to me at work asked what I was wearing? I said, Asad and she really liked it. I have a smal frag collection 24 colognes. Asad has rose to the top. I can't afford Savage Elicker. But, who cares> As long as I smell good, I'm good!
Yes Curly I grabbed this one a few months ago just to get a ideal of the hype i was hearing about it. I was not disappointed. Thanks for your favorable opinion. 💯👍🏾
Funny enough I wore the Lattafa Asad today. My bottle is supper strong & projects. If you just bought it remember to let it settle for about 3 days to a week then try. This is a common mistake people make. The juice is all shaked up. With my Guerlain ideal extreme I was so anxious to try it straight away and when I try it, it was so week. I ended up leaving it for two weeks then it all came together smelling nice with the right strength. ❤
I bought Asad and on my bottle the golden "plastic-band" could be removed by just stripping it down. It was not glued on it or anything. This is not a bad thing at all!! It looks not as cheap without this golden plastic ribbon thing. Its almost all black and looks a bit classier. Try it. ;)
Alexandria fragrances Ete Sauvage Elixir is what I went with instead of buying Dior. It's strong and a great dupe. 2-3 sprays is more than enough to get through the day
I have both and prefer Elixir it has a more smoky/spicy smell where Asad has a bit of an earthy smell to it, They smell 80% when you first spray but the trouble with Asad as with a lot of clones is the Vanilla overpowers everything else after about 2 hours and it becomes a slightly spicy Vanilla smell.
This is the first fragrance I noticed a huge difference with. I hated the smell at first then smelled it again a couple months later after letting it macerate I loved it
@@youtubeuser104so you rather spend $150 and up for 60ml of sauvage elixir or $35 100ml Lattafa asad I’ll take the asad I don’t even like sauvage the dna I mean it’s played out now!
personally, I don't mind dupes or clones. I think it would be a problem if these companies would try to copy the exact bottle, etc. plus, some of these clones are REALLY good! better for us, the consumers!
Always a pleasure to watch your videos, my dear. I would really love it if you could make videos about these perfume clones and have people try them out on the street. If it's possible to do a comparison test between the clone and the original and see what people prefer, I'm sure we'll have some surprises.
Love love love lattafa! Raghba limited edition green Irish Tweed cologne gets me a lot of compliments. Legacy layered with al fursan is the shit! So many compliments from that! Fakhar black compliments! Najdia reminds me of the Baron one of my all time favs. Hayaati layered over 360 very blue so good! I never used to get compliments until I bought lattafa and started playing around with layering different things. Can't wait for fall winter to wear Asad. Didnt work for me in the heat. Khamrah fall winter too. My daughter and her friends are always asking to wear it lol.
Thanks for doing your video based on my recommendation. I have both but my work colleagues always think I’m wearing Dior but I often use the Asad more to balance the cost out. Highly recommend to everybody to at least have this in their collection it’s for the smell and value alone. Always love your videos Curly x
I think the Sauvage Elixir/Asad DNA is more popular in the West. I got mostly negative reviews in Asia. It smells like a popular pork stew dish made with herbs & spices called Bak Kut Teh. Step into an Asian food market & ask for a Bak Kut Teh soup pack. Sprinkle in on yourself & you will be wearing Sauvage Elixir!
Hey Curly, when Gucci pour homme I and II my favorite fragrances of all time were discontinued. That's how I started my clone or inspired by journey. I also learned that you make the scent of your fragrance better, it elevates your swagg. And just like you Curly I ain't no SISSY sprayer!! Always do 16 to 20 sprays. I always show up everywhere I go with a punch of fragrance to the nose💪🏼🤜🏻💥👃
I almost always agree with you; our noses are similar. I agree that Elixir has a licorice note that Asad does not have, which makes Elixir a little better than Asad, in my opinion. However, for the price, Asad is the one I wear more often.
She said because of licorice note in elixir asad not having it makes asad more wearable, opposite of what you said 😂😂, aka asad is better in wearability aka more people will like it
I have both. My wife and my son couldn't tell the difference. And that was a side by side comparison. Only my 2 daughters could tell the difference. I don't know if it's the huge price difference, but Asad is easier for casual wear. I paid @USD18.50 for a bottle. I don't care if not every droplet hits my body. 😂
@blackknightdl I'm in Singapore. I happened to come across in a shop selling Middle Eastern stuff. S$25. It was by luck. Non of the other shops sold it.
loved this video, the clone comparisons are always fascinating for me, I would be interested in a comparison of your favourite Spicebomb Extreme to it's clone .... if it has one, i'm not sure. Keep up the great content!
I've had my bottle since December last year. Belting clone that lasts and lasts. Just go big with the sprays.. I can forgive the cheap presentation for less than £25👍👍
I used to like Asad but projection and performance really sucks until I got Ete Sauvage Elixir by Alexandria Frangrances. This is definitely the best and closest clone imo. 👍🏻💪🏻
Curly you are the best among the rest of the perfume reviewers....you analysis is so practical and lively which definitely fascinating the scent lovers 😻
I love Assad and regardless Whether it’s stronger than Dior Elixir for £13 (I paid £18.99 for 100ml) in the UK whereas Elixir is £130 for 60ML so it’s a no Brainer. Get 8-10 bottles of Assad Vs the price of 1 bottle of Elixir.
Hello Curly Michella, Great review as always, I do have the Asad, thx for sharing your knowledge with us, wowwww,it's so cheap over there🙌🏼,over here is SWEDEN it's expensive. Wishing you a lovely day. Cheers 🎉
I tested Asad in a store (bottle had obviously macerated) and I was impressed. Bought a new bottle and it was ‘meh’. Fast forward 5 months. It macerated immensely and I get more licorice and spices than initially. Also much deeper now.
@@bahunsuaxaviermyke3997when perfume ages. It's like wine gets finer with time, same goes to fragrances. You macerate or oxidize fragrances to allow the ingredients to fully meld together. This way they'll become more impactful.
You always make me laugh! 😂❤ Asad is awesome btw.. Duration is not as long as Elixir but a little easier to wear.. I love it and have both! If you all want to save money for this.
Thanks for the review, im honestly considering buying it now because of this review I was thinking about getting another bottle of dior sauvage elixir *100ml* but it is expensive and seeing you say its 80-90% the same as dior sauvage, i think this could be a full replacement to me. Although i can afford dior sauvage, i could get Lattafa Asad, and even get my self some regular dior sauvage EDP or EDT?
Asad is definitely the most memorable fragrance so far in my journey. I used to get compliments from the playful ladies about Versace Eros. But this blows that away. Epic fragrance.
This is a decent Clone. Once I bought Sauvage Elixir I sold Asad. It’s a great fragrance but why reach for it now I have the OG. If you have no intention of buying the OG this is a great option. Just lacks the magic of the OG.
Hi Michella, Love the way you review. I want to buy super potent clone oils for making spray parfums. Can you suggest some good brands from UAE or elsewhere?
No ambroxan, but oud and musk. Doesn't really sound as if it should smell like Sauvage Elixir. I have and love the genuine Sauvage Elixir, plus the Alexandria Fragrances Ete Elixir clone which is a very close match apart from the synthetic opening. Also Gisada Ambassador (on your recommendation ❤) . As you say, maybe a cheap cross between Elixir and Ambassador?
Value for money here is very high as it definitely smells like Elixir, but the more I wear it the less refined it seems to me. Elixir is the superior product for sure, but that price!
Definitely love elixir but can get this one for 90 NZD for the 100ml EDP. Question, was this the EDT or EDP being reviewed? Or is there only one variant? Cheers for the review ❤
Hi Curly , I have a few Lataffa frags , including this one , and I like it. Great value for the price and worth the money. Thanks for the review. Cheers Gregg. 🙂
@@Greatdane-qf8kd Eternal Oud is fantastic , but crazy bottle! Afro Leather is a great clone of African Leather as well. khamra is also a winner . Gregg 🙂
Watching this Queen on my phone reviewing ASAD while walking to delivery guy to receive it 😆 awesome Review I tried it guys smells good and strong up my nose
More Lataffa fragrance reviews please And don’t forget about your Canadian fans/watchers Not just the US😢 Asad is ok, good for a Cheapie clone Nothing touches DS Elixir tho. That fragrance is 🤤 🤤🤤😍
I smelled them both and think Asad is nothing like Sauvage, but it got plenty of compliments in the first hour of me wearing it. Im not a fan of the scent of Asad at all but everybody nose is different, so try it and maybe you may like it but its not for me and sold it within an hour of having it.
Mine arrived today . I bought it as a blind 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.
Class video 😊 Tbh i didn`t liked Asad at all when i bought it, but now about a 1/2y later, i adore it. Super unique smell with licorice hints. Another fragrance which is taking a 180 turn on me is Rochas Moustache edp. Would like to see you making a review of Kenzo Homme edp and Essential Perfumes Bois Imperial. Or for example make a comparison of Carolina Herrera 212 Vip vs Paris Elysees Vodka Man or Le Labo Santal 33 vs El Ganso Bravo Monsieur. And could you find/name some substitutes for Armani Code Absolu? Greetz 😉
It's soooooo close, the initial spray is not the same Assad has more of a deep heat smell (elixir has this too) on the initial spray. 20 minutes later and it's identical. Worth every penny imo
This is the third perfume you reviewed from my collection after Mancera red tobacco and 9pm. It just makes me happy thinking like that. My first comment.. Love from India 💕
Great first impression, and yeah asad is easier to wea thats a + for it Leave it for 1 week or two and its gets like 30% stronger and better and easier on alcohol
Asad is legit, for me it's better than Elixir. I do like Elixir but Asad for a fraction of the price is just a no brainer. The vanilla makes it softer and more versatile as well.
Totally agree! Asad is a monster of a scent. And believe me, Asad projects A LOT!!!!!!!
Asad suck, I tried guys, the smell is 70% alike and the longevity is like 3-4 hours with okay projection

Love it! Try Lattafa Amethyst. It’s an Initio Atomic Rose clone.
I’ve been on the fence with this one for weeks, but since you approve it I’m gonna order it 😊
A full video on all the Best Clone Fragrances would be greatly appreciated 🥰
I've had my bottle since December last year. Belting clone that lasts and lasts. Just go big with the sprays.. I can forgive the cheap presentation for less than £25👍👍
Imo it's about 70% to 80% similar to Dior Elixir. I enjoy wearing both but I've gotten compliments with Dior and none with Lattafa
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day
I used to like Asad but projection and performance really sucks until I got Ete Sauvage Elixir by Alexandria Frangrances. This is definitely the best and closest clone imo. 👍🏻💪🏻
Curly you are the best among the rest of the perfume reviewers....you analysis is so practical and lively which definitely fascinating the scent lovers 😻
I love Assad and regardless
Whether it’s stronger than Dior Elixir for £13 (I paid £18.99 for 100ml) in the UK whereas Elixir is £130 for 60ML so it’s a no Brainer.
Get 8-10 bottles of Assad
Vs the price of 1 bottle of Elixir.
Hello Curly Michella, Great review as always, I do have the Asad, thx for sharing your knowledge with us, wowwww,it's so cheap over there🙌🏼,over here is SWEDEN it's expensive. Wishing you a lovely day. Cheers 🎉
Curly, you never fail to "Feel the print" 😂😂
Assad is great. Reminds me very strongly of Dior Sauvage Elixir, but Dior is "sharper".
I can get this locally. It's gotten good reviews across the board. It's relatively inexpensive, so why not... 👌
I would love to see you review Ministry Of Oud- Oud Satin. It is a remarkable clone of MFK Oud Satin Mood.
I tested Asad in a store (bottle had obviously macerated) and I was impressed. Bought a new bottle and it was ‘meh’. Fast forward 5 months. It macerated immensely and I get more licorice and spices than initially. Also much deeper now.
@sithumpiushan3260 too much questions for 20$ fragrance
What is macerate
@@bahunsuaxaviermyke3997when perfume ages. It's like wine gets finer with time, same goes to fragrances. You macerate or oxidize fragrances to allow the ingredients to fully meld together. This way they'll become more impactful.
This is gonna be the first cologne I’m getting im gonna use it for school
You always make me laugh! 😂❤ Asad is awesome btw.. Duration is not as long as Elixir but a little easier to wear.. I love it and have both! If you all want to save money for this.
Thanks for the review, im honestly considering buying it now because of this review
I was thinking about getting another bottle of dior sauvage elixir *100ml* but it is expensive
and seeing you say its 80-90% the same as dior sauvage, i think this could be a full replacement to me.
Although i can afford dior sauvage, i could get Lattafa Asad, and even get my self some regular dior sauvage EDP or EDT?
Curly I have watched about three videos, and not only have you given good recommendations but you are just hilarious.
Currently in Bahrain and recommendations for shops? Or websites?
Asad is definitely the most memorable fragrance so far in my journey.
I used to get compliments from the playful ladies about Versace Eros. But this blows that away.
Epic fragrance.
I blind buy Asad Lattafa because of your video on tiktok and you know what, that was the best decision ever! Thank you curlyyy!!!
This is a decent Clone. Once I bought Sauvage Elixir I sold Asad.
It’s a great fragrance but why reach for it now I have the OG. If you have no intention of buying the OG this is a great option. Just lacks the magic of the OG.
Hi Michella,
Love the way you review.
I want to buy super potent clone oils for making spray parfums. Can you suggest some good brands from UAE or elsewhere?
No ambroxan, but oud and musk. Doesn't really sound as if it should smell like Sauvage Elixir. I have and love the genuine Sauvage Elixir, plus the Alexandria Fragrances Ete Elixir clone which is a very close match apart from the synthetic opening. Also Gisada Ambassador (on your recommendation ❤) . As you say, maybe a cheap cross between Elixir and Ambassador?
Value for money here is very high as it definitely smells like Elixir, but the more I wear it the less refined it seems to me. Elixir is the superior product for sure, but that price!
Whenever you start being naughty naughty I can not stop myself to watch that over and over 😂
I did not liked it first when i got it but 1 year later and a 1/4 used of it im starting to appreciate it;)
Definitely love elixir but can get this one for 90 NZD for the 100ml EDP.
Question, was this the EDT or EDP being reviewed? Or is there only one variant?
Cheers for the review ❤
Hi Curly , I have a few Lataffa frags , including this one , and I like it. Great value for the price and worth the money.
Thanks for the review.
Cheers Gregg. 🙂
What's the best Lattafa in your opinion?
@@Greatdane-qf8kd Eternal Oud is fantastic , but crazy bottle! Afro Leather is a great clone of African Leather as well. khamra is also a winner .
Gregg 🙂
Good review! I was thinking on testing it.
Watching this Queen on my phone reviewing ASAD while walking to delivery guy to receive it 😆 awesome
Review
I tried it guys smells good and strong up my nose
More Lataffa fragrance reviews please
And don’t forget about your Canadian fans/watchers
Not just the US😢
Asad is ok, good for a
Cheapie clone
Nothing touches DS Elixir tho.
That fragrance is 🤤 🤤🤤😍
I smelled them both and think Asad is nothing like Sauvage, but it got plenty of compliments in the first hour of me wearing it. Im not a fan of the scent of Asad at all but everybody nose is different, so try it and maybe you may like it but its not for me and sold it within an hour of having it.
Mine arrived today . I bought it as a blind 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.
OMG Curly, You are SIMPLY The BEST. I Love your Vids and always use your recommendations x
Class video 😊
Tbh i didn`t liked Asad at all when i bought it, but now about a 1/2y later, i adore it. Super unique smell with licorice hints. Another fragrance which is taking a 180 turn on me is Rochas Moustache edp.
Would like to see you making a review of Kenzo Homme edp and Essential Perfumes Bois Imperial.
Or for example make a comparison of Carolina Herrera 212 Vip vs Paris Elysees Vodka Man or Le Labo Santal 33 vs El Ganso Bravo Monsieur.
And could you find/name some substitutes for Armani Code Absolu?
Greetz 😉
spot on review my grandson bought me a 60 ml bottle of the dior for my birthdsay but I get more compliments when I wear Asad
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction AGAIN ❤
It's soooooo close, the initial spray is not the same Assad has more of a deep heat smell (elixir has this too) on the initial spray. 20 minutes later and it's identical. Worth every penny imo
"The more of the comparasation" 🤣 that is what makes you so Lovable!!!!
This is the third perfume you reviewed from my collection after Mancera red tobacco and 9pm. It just makes me happy thinking like that. My first comment.. Love from India 💕
need more clone reviews like this as target audience is huge,
More will come👍
waiting :) thnx
Great first impression, and yeah asad is easier to wea thats a + for it
Leave it for 1 week or two and its gets like 30% stronger and better and easier on alcohol
I tried them both trust me guys they smell the same 100% from now gonna just bought me asad cheap and it profom good
I bought for 15 euros yesterday it's really amzazing little bit spicy and a litlle sweet than elixir and project very good
I have both, I use Asad more as it's cheaper and I get compliments everytime....
One of my fav frags, along with CDN Urban Man Elixir!
Nicely done. As a fan of DS Elixir I’ll have to pick this one up as well :)
