Lattafa Asad Zanzibar – Fresh, Spicy, Vanilla, Coconut – Eau de Parfum Long-Lasting Fragrance for Men, 3.40 Ounce / 100 ml

Cheap cologne, great smell
It’s a fresh scented cologne. Not citrus fresh but coconut/woody fresh. Kind of smells like pencil shavings but once it dries down it Burst with coconut and wood. Great value for your money. Also great longevity.

An intense perfume with a sweetness that is not for everyone
Lattafa Asad Zanzibar is definitely a perfume that does not go unnoticed. From the first application, you can tell that it has a strong and very distinctive presence. The quality is excellent, and the duration of the aroma on the skin is impressive, easily lasting all day.However, for my taste, the sweetness of the coconut is a bit too intense. Although it combines well with the other warm and spicy notes of the perfume, that sweet touch predominates more than I expected. If you are a fan of tropical and very sweet aromas, you will surely enjoy it.In short, it is a perfume of great quality and projection, but perhaps not the best option if you prefer more balanced or less sweet fragrances.

Sweet, powdery vanilla, iris, coconut – Not like the original Asad!
This Lattafa fragrance is a sweet, powdery vanilla scent with a tropical coconut twist. Quality is good for the price, but it’s not for everyone. The main notes are vanilla, iris, and coconut, with hints of lavender, pepper, sea salt, and incense. It’s quite sweet and best suited for casual wear in mild weather (spring/fall evenings or light summer use). It projects well for 2-3 hours and lasts as a skin scent for another 3-4. Definitely not similar to the original Lattafa Asad. If you like sweet, powdery vanilla scents, you might enjoy it.

Holy shinola…this stuff ROCKS!!
Sprayed it on paper and got the waxy iris and some kind of vanilla in the background…nice, but I wasn’t blown away. I let the paper sit while I ate dinner and watched youtube videos…smelling it every now and then. It pretty much stayed the same on paper…that dry waxy iris with some bright citrus and vanilla…very nice.Then I went to take a shower and get cleaned up, after doing the “Triple-S” I decided to try two sprays of “Asad-Z” on chest. Immediately got a creamy vanilla on skin as the scent wafted up to my nose/face. Then the bright Iris hit. I wasn’t waxy like it smelled on paper!!Then I noticed how loud it was…two sprays of most other fragrances aren’t this powerful. THAT is the kind of performance I like!! It is now 2 hours later and I’m still getting the same P-U-S-H from those two sprays to my chest. VERY NICE!!!It almost feels like as this develops, the iris takes a backseat to some kind of dry woodiness and a creaminess that takes over the fragrance.This is very….odd.It’s sweet and creamy vanilla…with this dry woodiness in the background.I’m not getting any coconut or anything like it.This fragrance reminds me of “Victoria Secret – Tease Creme Cloud”…just sweeter and with Iris in it.I’m going to give it a full-day wear to work tomorrow and then I’ll give it a final rating.But so far…this is a winner!!23APR24:Welp, wearing this to work today with a layer of “Burberry Goddess” and it’s WONDERFUL!!The sweetness of “Goddess”, the Dry powderiness of “Zanzibar”….awesome!I figured out why it reminds me of my “VS – Tease Creme Cloud”, its got that “Black Pepper” that stays persistent in the fragrance aura. Its in the background…but its constantly there.Sillage trail on this one….MASSIVE!!I left a trail of Zanzibar from the entry of the security checkpoint all the way to the bus depot on the other side of the building. I could hear people coming into the security checkpoint saying how nice it smelled in the building, lol.Walking around, I can smell “Zanzibar” over the “Goddess” because of the dry-woodiness of “Zanzibar”.I am still picking up on the sweet lavender of “Goddess”, but everything else…ZANZIBAR!I’m still not getting any “Coconut” from this, just the Iris, Vanilla and Black Pepper.But you know what…that’s just find with me.I’d once built a fragrance with Vanilla, Black Pepper and Cedar and loved it while I had it. I moved on and never went back to make another bottle…but this “Zanzibar” gives the same kinda feel and all I’ve gotta do is spray and enjoy.I think I’m going to enjoy this even more once it macerates and gets better in a month or so. I’ll be wearing it at least once or twice a week though. I’m looking forward to seeing how my inner circle feel about it when I wear it around them all…26APR24:I don’t know what happened, but the creaminess factor of this fragrance went into overdrive tonight. I smell like a vanilla ice cream cone….holy shinola!!!I need a backup bottle ASAP!! 😲😲😲❤️❤️❤️❤️

Love the smell, it’s not to strong or sweet it’s has the perfect smell and long lasting smell.
