The Story

Following the success of Asad and Asad Zanzibar, Lattafa introduced Asad Bourbon in 2025 as the third chapter in the Asad collection. Launched as part of Lattafa's Discovery Set lineup, it's become a genuine favourite among fans of the family, with several reviewers specifically ranking it among the strongest entries in the whole Asad line.

The Scent

It opens with a bright, spicy-fruity blast of pink pepper, lavender, and mirabelle plum — sweet but sharp, immediately catching attention.

The heart brings cacao, nutmeg, and davana together, adding depth and warmth as spicy richness marries cocoa's gourmand allure.

The base settles into bourbon vanilla, amber, and vetiver, delivering a luxurious, creamy, resinous dry-down with earthy woods anchoring the sweetness.

An Honest Note on Performance

This is a genuinely well-regarded fragrance with strong, consistent ratings across major retailers (4.5 out of 5 from over 160 reviews on one platform alone), and reviewers describe the opening as beautiful but intense — fair warning if you have fragrance sensitivities. One honest critique worth noting: a handful of reviewers feel it's a solid, competent gourmand-spicy fragrance that doesn't do quite enough to stand out in an increasingly crowded category, and it reads better as a cool-weather evening scent than an everyday office fragrance. The strong consensus, though, is that it offers genuinely impressive performance and quality for the price.

FAQ

What does Asad Bourbon smell like?
A gourmand spicy woody — bright pink pepper, lavender, and mirabelle plum up top, a cacao-nutmeg-davana heart, and a warm bourbon vanilla-amber-vetiver base. Sweet and leathery without being cloying.

Does Asad Bourbon actually smell like bourbon or whiskey?
Not literally — the "bourbon" refers to bourbon vanilla, a specific vanilla variety, rather than a whiskey note. The overall effect does read as warm and boozy to many reviewers, even without a literal alcohol accord.

How does Asad Bourbon compare to the original Asad?
Asad Bourbon takes the original's sweet-spicy, crowd-pleasing DNA and adds bourbon vanilla and woods for a richer, more gourmand-leaning evening fragrance, while the original Asad leans more classically amber-spicy.

Is it unisex or gendered?
Fully unisex — Asad Bourbon is designed and marketed for both men and women.

How long does it last?
Excellent — most reviewers report 8-10 hours on skin, with even longer wear reported on clothing.

What season or occasion is it best for?
Evening events, dinner dates, and nights out, especially in cooler climates — autumn and winter are where this one really shines.

Does Dubai Blends ship Asad Bourbon across Australia?
Yes — we ship tracked, Australia-wide, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, and Canberra. Browse our full Lattafa range, including the complete Asad Collection, for more from the brand.

Pro Tip

Because the opening is quite intense, apply this one 20-30 minutes before you need to be around others — it gives the pink pepper and plum time to settle so the cacao-nutmeg heart and bourbon vanilla base can take centre stage.
