Asad Set — Lattafa, three pieces
The Asad set by Lattafa brings together three sizes from the line, in a black and gold case. Asad means “lion” in Arabic — the gold medallion that adorns each bottle echoes the motif.
What the set contains
-
Eau de parfum — the centrepiece, to be sprayed on the pulse points
-
Hair Mist — a hair mist, formulated for the hair
-
Perfumed Spray 200 ml — the body spray, to be sprayed generously

How it unfolds
The pineapple opens lively and juicy, immediately contradicted by the black pepper and the tobacco. This fruity-roasted contrast is the signature of this fragrance.
The heart tips towards the dark: coffee and patchouli take over, and the iris powders the whole and stops it becoming harsh.
The base is dense and tenacious — vanilla, amber, dry woods, with benzoin and labdanum, two warm resins that give the sillage its depth.
Why a hair mist
Hair holds on to fragrance much longer than skin, but a classic eau de parfum dries it out: the alcohol is too concentrated. A hair mist is formulated for this use — less alcohol, detangling agents — and it is the most effective way to extend a sillage throughout the day.
Layering all three
The body spray after the shower, the eau de parfum on the wrists and neck, the mist on the lengths of the hair. The least concentrated layer serves as the base for the most concentrated one, and the staying power is noticeably extended as a result.
Who it is for, and when
Masculine-leaning, wearable as unisex. Autumn and winter, evenings. A set that is easy to give: the black and gold case needs no extra wrapping.
