Lattafa Asad Decants

Lattafa Asad decant, hand-decanted from an original retail bottle into a leak-proof metal atomizer. Available in 5ml, 10ml, and 20ml, so you can test one of the most talked-about amber-spicy fragrances in India before committing to a full bottle.

Sizes & how long they last

Asad has enormous sillage, so two sprays is genuinely enough — a 5ml decant will stretch well past the table.

Lattafa Asad Notes

• Top: Black pepper, tobacco, sweet pineapple
• Heart: Patchouli, coffee, powdery iris
• Base: Amber, vanilla, dry woods, benzoin, labdanum

What it actually smells like

Asad opens with a fierce spicy blast — black pepper and tobacco with a hint of sweet pineapple cutting through. The heart turns earthy and aromatic: patchouli and coffee with powdery iris softening the edges, which is where it starts smelling more expensive than it is. The base is balsamic and warm — amber, vanilla and dry woods over benzoin and labdanum. It is a big, confident evening fragrance.

Is Asad a Sauvage Elixir alternative?

It is widely recommended as one of the closest affordable takes on that dark, spicy-sweet profile. It is not a literal copy — Asad is a genuine Lattafa fragrance with its own formula — but people chasing that direction usually land here. If you want to compare, the Dior Sauvage EDP decant is the closest Dior we stock, and our guide to Sauvage EDT vs EDP vs Elixir explains how the versions differ.

Longevity and projection

Longevity: Around 8–10 hours on most skin, one of the better performers at this price
Projection: Very strong, with enormous sillage in the first hours

These figures are deliberately conservative. Performance depends on your skin type, how much you apply, the weather and what you spray it on — Indian heat shortens most fragrances, so treat this as a floor rather than a promise. A 5ml decant is the honest way to find out how it behaves on you.

The rest of the Asad line

• Asad Bourbon — the sweet one: lavender and plum over cacao, nutmeg and bourbon vanilla
• Asad Elixir — the driest: saffron and grapefruit over tobacco, frankincense and amber

Want all three? The Lattafa Asad Discovery Set gives you Asad, Asad Bourbon and Asad Elixir as 10ml decants.

Who It's For

• Evenings out, dates and parties (2 sprays)
• Weddings and festive occasions
• Winter and cooler weather — the amber and vanilla base shows best in the cold
• Anyone who wants maximum presence for minimum spend

Lattafa Asad Decant: FAQ

How many sprays are in a 10ml Lattafa Asad decant?
A 10ml decant gives approximately 160 sprays — around 32 wears at five sprays each, and more in practice since two sprays is plenty. See our FAQ page for all sizes.

Is this decant 100% authentic Lattafa Asad?
Yes, every decant is hand-filled from an original retail bottle, never mixed or diluted. See our authenticity page for our full sourcing process.

Is Asad too strong for the office?
At normal application, yes for most workplaces. One spray if you must — this is really an evening fragrance.

Which Asad should I start with?
This one. It is the original and the heaviest. Bourbon is sweeter, Elixir is drier and more incense-led.

How long does Asad last?
Around 8–10 hours on most skin. It is one of the stronger performers in this price bracket, though longevity still varies with skin type, weather and application.

When will my order arrive?
Orders are dispatched on the second business day after confirmation (Sundays excluded), then delivered in 5–7 business days via Delhivery, Blue Dart or Amazon Shipping. Tracking is shared after dispatch — see our shipping policy.
