Lattafa Asad pairs black pepper, pineapple and tobacco with coffee, iris and patchouli, over amber, vanilla, woods and resins. Its spicy opening and warm base suit someone looking for pepper and vanilla rather than a fresh floral scent. Choose the original Asad when shopping; Asad Zanzibar is a different fragrance.
