Lattafa Asad Zanzibar Honest Review | Underwhelming Release?

[@ChadSecrets]

What are your thoughts on Lattafa Asad Zanzibar!? 👇👇

[@AzarroFineArts]

A $25 dollar cologne

[@ChadSecrets]

Thats fair

[@michaelmusa67]

​@@AzarroFineArts I can very much see this going to the $20 mark in less than a year, Chad's review is spot on. Totally agree with all that was said on this video. It's now on the bottom of my new collection, hopefully the maceration if any, 😢will change my thoughts but I highly doubt it.

The worst opening in the History of parfumes

[@murasame1450]

Never really applied perfume before until I bought myself a bottle of Terre D'Hermes this past Christmas because a friend had it and I absolutely loved the smell. After getting it I kind wanted to have a couple perfumes to have diversity and not always smell the same. I bought the normal Asad after seeing your "most hyped fragrances" video and really like it. Kinda bummed that Asad Zanzibar doesn't seem to be up the normal one. I also got myself a bottle of Versace blue jeans cause I don't have that big a budget (Terre D'Hermes being the exception). Through my order of Terre D'Hermes I got a sample of the Valentino Uomo EDT and absolutely love it. 100% will buy it when I feel comfortable to afford it since it's in the same price range as Terre D'Hermes. Just wanted to thank you for your videos and wanted to ask if you could make a review for the Valentino Uomo EDT aswell, after I saw that you have done one for the Green Stravaganza.

[@ChadSecrets]

I can definetly make that revoew for sure. Thank you for your suggestion. And Terre D'Hermes is a gem. One of my favorite!

[@TMG9836]

I'm very curious to hear your thoughts on it in a couple of months. My bottle of Lataffa Ameer Al Oudh has definitely gotten stronger and smells better after sitting on my shelf for a few months.

[@ChadSecrets]

I will definitely update. I have noticed with other fragrances huge improvements over time

[@wailsakhri137]

Can you try out The Lattafa Pride line ? Like vintage Radio (Initio paragon), Masa (more unisex version of ganymede), and nebras (cake and gourmand scent). Wanna really hear your take on quality etc...

[@ChadSecrets]

I definitely can! Thanks for the suggestion!

[@wailsakhri137]

@@ChadSecrets hope u will enjoy it them 😁

[@EduardoHenrique-nd1ro]

Thanks for sharing another great review, Chad! Have an amazing weekend! Love from Brazil, mate!

[@ChadSecrets]

Thank you Eduardo i appreciate that!

[@josezerpa8177]

I received a sample from FragBuy and I’ve been wearing it for three days now. On day one I hated it yet forced myself to wear it, and surprisingly it has been growing on me. I cannot detect the coconut note some people talk about, but still this can be a compliment getter. The dry down is really nice after the first 2 hours. Cheers bud! 🇨🇦

[@drydz8670]

I got this recently. I had it macerate maybe 1 week or so. Performance is actually good. But I will probably give it to my sister. The scent is really not for me. She can probably rock this. I can still smell this the next day on my clothes.

[@ChadSecrets]

If its anything like my other lattafa fragrances i expect it for sure will get stronger with time

[@antonioviana7645]

I agree 100!!!! w all that u said, LOOOVE the scent profile , but don't last on my skin also :)

[@ChadSecrets]

It's rather unfortunate. Let's hope that it gets stronger over time

[@antonioviana7645]

I sprayed it 10 times, and will leave it on clothes dror for 30 days to macerate, lets see.@@ChadSecrets

[@MIX-fo7zf]

@@antonioviana7645hey wats going on with it?

[@leon__27_]

Underrated asf brother! Keep up the great work!

[@ChadSecrets]

I appreciate that a lot. Thank you 🙏

[@Alritealritealrite]

Half of the reason I ordered it was because it had a perfumer. I think they definitely stepped up their game.

[@ChadSecrets]

That's very true. It's a great step in the right direction!

[@kevino73]

There's something in here that isn't sitting well with me. It's tropical, but there's something rubbery in here that's throwing me off. I'm hoping some time & maturation will smooth that out.

[@ChadSecrets]

Its always possible it will help!

[@airgunnersedge4061]

$22 for a last grab for free shipping... So no disappointment, patience as im older seems to pay off in all my hobbies..

[@ChadSecrets]

Yeah thats a great price!

[@rnxgaming53]

is there gonna be a review on azzaro wanted by night in future perhaps, also i much prefer this blue asad scent to the other (black one) but to each their own 🤷‍♂️

[@ChadSecrets]

I actually already filmed one! I will put it out very soon. And i think this one smells better too! I did say that in the video, but i just wish it performed better

[@adamtrons]

I got caught up in the excitement and bought this as soon as it came out. For me, it's not a very complex fragrance. It smells like vanilla ice cream and maybe a little salt. I have other fragrances such as Mercedes Club Black that do a better job with vanilla. It's also softer than hoped for. I'm not sure I believe in maceration since I've never had any fragrance get stronger over time. Usually the opposite happens. I have their Lattafa Ameer Al Oud and it's been a room filler since day one. I wore it to the dentist office once and they told me it made their entire place smell good. LOL So it makes me think certain ones have higher scent concentration and others may have less oils or weaker ingredients. I may end up using it as a room freshener.

[@ChadSecrets]

Yeah i noticed the "maceration effect" with my most recent experience in the Lattafa Asad OG pretty heavily. Didnt like it at first and longevity and projection was not good. Couple months later the scent was deeper and longer lasting so idk 🤷‍♂️

[@adamtrons]

@@ChadSecrets I'll give it a couple months then and keep testing it to see if it improves!

[@TheVisualante]

The Middle East is home to fragrance hub and has a rich history preceding influencing the west to what it became today, you should try Arabian oud, Gissah, Abdulsamad Alqurashi for high quality original middle eastern perfumery much better than what we have here imo

[@ChadSecrets]

I want to 100% dive into real middle eastern perfumery! Thanks for those suggestions i will be looking into them!

[@TheVisualante]

@@ChadSecrets those are great starting points with Arabian oud probably the most accessible but then there are other houses like dar el teeb that are higher niche prices. In reality though you probably got a good taste of some middle eastern houses like Amouage, Nishane, and Kajal’s founder is middle eastern influencing the perfumery from that house. Even MFK, although it’s French, Francis Kurkdjan is middle eastern and you can see that influence in his oud line. Also you were right. Zanzibar is barely lasting on my skin right now lol

[@ramonsanchez434]

do you think it has a masculine scent profile? and do you think its good for casual occasions like school? if so how many sprays to be noticed but not too overwhelming

[@ChadSecrets]

Hey, i pretty much covered all of that in the video!

[@ibrahima3723]

How do the Asad bottles feel? Kind of silly but presentation and heft is a big part of fragrances for me, and I've heard Asad feels pretty cheap

[@ChadSecrets]

Pretty cheap and plasticy. But they do look nice!

[@MIX-fo7zf]

love u bro and really want to know if it last more longer now?

[@ChadSecrets]

Ill check in on it in the next couple days and PIN a comment if it has 😁

[@simpa256]

Waiting for this to be available in Europe. Not getting it for the prices overseas.

[@ChadSecrets]

That's fair enough for sure 👌

[@xleomarinelli]

I need help, I'm between getting an azzaro the most wanted intense or a bleu de chanel eau de parfum, considering that I'm a fan of le male le parfum, which one should I get?

[@ChadSecrets]

Azzaro would be the better choice because its sweeter and i assume you like sweeter fragrances

[@xleomarinelli]

@@ChadSecrets thank you so much!

[@carasparks8500]

I get so much iris and incense. Iris is the main note i smell. With coconut and incense and vanilla. I dont see how u dont get much iris

[@ChadSecrets]

Im not too sure. Iris usually pops off my skin, and here it's not. I am getting some earthy smell, which could be attributed to some Iris characteristics.

[@carasparks8500]

@@ChadSecrets yeah iris can come off real earthy sometimes in fragrances. I smell more iris than any other note in this

[@ChadSecrets]

Fair enough. Everyone will perceive it differently!
