Asad Bourbon opens with lavender, pink pepper and juicy mirabelle plum, warms into a cacao, nutmeg and davana heart, and settles into bourbon vanilla, amber and vetiver. Fragrantica's community voting (5,228 votes) shows just over half of wearers rate it long lasting, with a moderate trail the most commonly reported.
Asad Bourbon is a 2025 Oriental Spicy release from Lattafa, the third chapter in the brand's Asad line. It opens on lavender, pink pepper and mirabelle (a small yellow plum, here read as a juicy fruit note), moves into a heart of cacao, nutmeg and davana, and settles into a base of bourbon vanilla, amber and vetiver. Fragrantica's accord breakdown puts vanilla at 100% strength and cacao close behind at 90% — the two dominant threads running through the whole scent. Sweet (76%) and lavender (76%) sit alongside them, with fresh spicy (71%), warm spicy (66%) and amber (65%) accords filling out a spiced, gourmand-leaning composition, and a soft powdery accord (59%) showing up in the dry-down.
The opening is aromatic and slightly sharp — lavender and pink pepper first, with the mirabelle plum adding a juicy, faintly boozy sweetness that plays against the name. Cacao, nutmeg and davana build through the heart, thickening the scent into something warmer and spicier rather than fresh. The dry-down brings bourbon vanilla, amber and vetiver together: the vetiver keeps the vanilla from turning purely sweet, giving it a drier, woodier finish. Fragrantica's daypart voting leans firmly toward evening wear — 67% of voters log it for night against 33% for day.
Of 3,855 Fragrantica longevity votes, 56% rate Asad Bourbon long lasting, 33% call it moderate, and 6% rate it eternal, with weaker ratings in the small minority. Sillage tracks similarly: of 3,757 votes, 53% describe the projection as moderate and 37% as strong, with intimate and enormous ratings each under 5%. Fragrantica community voting. See the full breakdown.
Season votes point to the cooler months: winter leads at 43%, with autumn close behind at 37%. Spring trails at 16% and summer is a small minority at 5%. It reads as a cold-weather scent built for the dry-down to carry through, rather than one suited to heat.
Lattafa markets Asad Bourbon as a men's fragrance, and Fragrantica's own gender voting agrees strongly — of 3,898 votes, 50% call it male and a further 38% male-leaning, with female and unisex readings each a small minority. FG Perfumes lists it as a men's scent in line with this.
Fragrantica's community voting links Asad Bourbon most closely to Azzaro's The Most Wanted, followed by Valentino Uomo Born In Roma Intense — both warm, spiced gourmand-leaning fragrances that share the same cacao-vanilla direction. Among FG-carried alternatives, Fragrantica users who like Asad Bourbon also point to Afnan's 9pm, another oriental vanilla with a similarly rich, spiced character.

Wide range of budget friendly to relatively high end priced perfume brands. Rayhan, Armaf, French Avenue, Brandy, Lattafa just to mention a few. They also sell a 10ml of any brand you like, good for testing before you commit to the whole bottle.
This store reminds me of my days in Dubai. Prices are competitive and most probably the best I have found on the market. Amazing perfumes!
Shahed was very welcoming and friendly… He was knowledgeable about the perfumes and took the time to understand what I was looking for before recommending a fragrance that suited my preferences perfectly.
What a good find! A place where you can smell all the Dubai perfumes. Monique assisted us and she was very helpful. Will see you soon!
Customer service 10/10. Tamzyn helped me she was very nice energetic and helpful… when I heard the price I had to take it. So very affordable in my opinion.
The quality of the fragrances is outstanding. The oils and perfumes are impressive and has longevity… I will definitely be returning and recommending this shop to others.
He was very helpful and friendly as I did not have a clue of what I wanted to get for my mom… It smells very nice. I got compliments at work… I would recommend people to go here.
Lattafa Perfumes started in Dubai in 1980, and the family who founded it still runs the company. Its name comes from the Arabic words for kindness and pleasantness. Lattafa perfumes range from sweet gourmands to bold ouds, at prices well below designer brands.
