Asad Elixir opens sharp and spicy with pink pepper, saffron and grapefruit, then warms into a smoky tobacco-and-cedar heart softened by vanilla. The base settles into light amber, frankincense, patchouli and cashmeran for a dry, resinous finish. Fragrantica's community voting (1,134 votes) rates it long lasting or better for around seven in ten wearers, with sillage split close to evenly between moderate and strong.
Asad Elixir is a 2025 Oriental release from Lattafa Perfumes, built around an amber accord that Fragrantica's community rates at full strength (100%), alongside woody (88%), tobacco (73%) and vanilla (54%). The top notes are pink pepper, saffron and grapefruit — a sharp, spiced citrus opening. The heart holds tobacco, vanilla and cedar, and the base is light amber, frankincense, patchouli and cashmeran, with warm spicy (52%), sweet (51%) and powdery (44%) accords rounding out the finish. It reads as a deep, smoky amber rather than a fresh or green fragrance.
The opening is sharp and peppery, with saffron adding a dry, slightly leathery spice and grapefruit cutting through with brightness. Within the first hour, tobacco and cedar take over, giving the scent a smoky, woody core, while vanilla softens the edges rather than sweetening it outright. The dry-down is where the composition settles: light amber and frankincense build a resinous warmth, patchouli adds an earthy depth, and cashmeran gives the base a soft, musky-woody cast that lasts. Fragrantica voters lean strongly toward wearing it at night — 69.5% log it as an evening scent against 30.5% for daytime, out of 1,613 votes.
Of 1,134 Fragrantica longevity votes, 62.96% rate Asad Elixir's staying power as long lasting and a further 8.82% call it eternal, with 23.81% landing on moderate. Sillage tracks close to a coin flip: of 1,122 votes, 44.92% describe its projection as strong and 45.28% as moderate, with 5.53% calling it enormous. Fragrantica community voting. See the full breakdown.
Season votes favour the cooler half of the year: winter leads at 42.87%, autumn follows at 36.65%, and spring sits at 15.92%, with summer trailing well behind at 4.56%. It reads as an autumn-and-winter fragrance built for depth and warmth rather than for hot weather.
Lattafa markets Asad Elixir as a men's fragrance, and Fragrantica's own gender voting agrees strongly — 81.18% of 1,169 votes call it male and a further 13.86% male-leaning, against a small female-leaning minority. FG Perfumes lists it as a men's scent in line with this weight of voting.
Fragrantica's community voting links Asad Elixir most closely to the original Asad by Lattafa Perfumes — also carried by FG Perfumes — alongside Bottled Absolu by Hugo Boss and Carlisle by Parfums de Marly, pointing to a shared warm, tobacco-and-amber 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.
