Asad Elixir

Asad Elixir, released by Lattafa Perfumes in 2025 as an Elixir concentration for men, is a dry, spiced woody scent with tobacco and incense. Everyone describes it as woody; about two thirds also find it spicy, with gourmand, aromatic, amber and citrus facets noted by a third.

The opening is sharp and warm at once, with saffron giving a leathery, slightly metallic spice, pink pepper a bright tingle and grapefruit a brief bitter-fresh lift. The heart is the centre of gravity: cedar brings a dry, clean wood, tobacco a honeyed, hay-like richness and vanilla a soft sweetness that rounds the edges. The base is smoky and modern, as frankincense adds a resinous, church-like smoke, cashmeran a warm musky wood, patchouli an earthy depth and light amber a gentle glow.

Most wearers find it long lasting, and the trail divides almost evenly between moderate and strong. It is voted for winter and autumn, and strongly for night. It suits cold-weather evenings and anyone who wants their sweetness smoked and dried out.
