Lattafa's Asad Bourbon is a popular flanker in what is now a line. The original Asad is famous for being the first quality clone of Dior Sauvage Elixir to the market. Bourbon is best described as just like Asad but subbing out the cinnamon and iris for vanilla, chocolate and lavender. Guess what? It works and it's great.
This is a good blend of the aromatic fougere and gourmand DNAs. It blends sweet, spicy, floral aromatic and gourmand notes very well. Don't let the name mislead you, though, this does not have a boozy note. The bourbon in its name is referring to bourbon vanilla, not bourbon liquor. This will definitely remind some of Azzaro's The Most Wanted and Valentino's Born in Roma with the spice and chocolate and vanilla notes. Still, it is distinctive from those two.
This is a great addition to the line and goes best in cooler weather. Some older users may be put off by the blatant attempt to appeal to a younger audience. This is designer quality for less than half the price, so younger users will be able to afford it. Really can't go wrong here. I might even prefer it to the excellent original. Highly recommended.
