Lattafa Perfumes

Asad EDP

EDP2021

“Sauvage Elixir's more oriental, tobacco-stained cousin — intense, dark, unforgettable.”

Lattafa Asad
amber
fresh spicy
woody

Lattafa's 2021 release — a tobacco-coffee composition closely tracking the Dior Sauvage Elixir profile. Pineapple in the top, a warm amber drydown. One of the line's best-selling Dior alternatives. Wears strongest in fall and winter, evening.
