NEW Lattafa Asad Zanzibar | First Impressions

[@Alritealritealrite]

I really like it. Different. It had a master perfumer behind it

[@gerardgeorge]

Yes it did I should have mentioned that!

[@phillydragonfly]

I’m female, and enjoy wearing this. It changes throughout the day in a really cool way.

[@gerardgeorge]

I want to revisit this. Thanks for sharing.

[@santanarodriguez881]

I tried it out at a discounter, not as coconut/sunscreen heavy as I expected. Its a nice smooth fresh tropical fragrance, I'll wait for the price to come down and pick it up.

[@gerardgeorge]

I agree very good take.

[@nikandros0185]

I bought it yesterday after i smelled , it's amazing.I have at least 80 fragrances by lattafa and this is in my personal top 10

[@gerardgeorge]

I believe it very nice one.

[@carlostomas1917]

I have asad zanzibar on the way. I love powdery iris and vanilla, so i think I'll enjoy this

[@johnhenshaw318]

You will love this fragrance then, I have had it for about a week now but I just wish the coconut was more prominent. It rains powdery iris and vanilla. Enjoy it. I don’t think it lives up to the hype though.

[@carlostomas1917]

@johnhenshaw318 Ok thanks. Coconut might become more prominent after it macerates a couple months 👍🏼😊

[@gerardgeorge]

You're gonna love it.

[@carlostomas1917]

👍🏼😊

[@carasparks8500]

I like it too. It is a very confusing scent. But it's different and I like it. It is getting better with maceration as well. Getting a little bit of that incense in it now after some time. I like it alot

[@gerardgeorge]

This is good to know I was wondering about the incense I wasn't getting any.

[@M.G.R1an]

The opening and dry down are very different. Goes from a powdery tropical scent to a smooth coconuty vanillic lavender/iris scent. Not an absolute must have but a solid fragrance imo.

[@gerardgeorge]

Fair assessment!

[@richardkolnsberg4418]

There’s nothing clone about Asad Zanzibar. It’s a tropical woods scent by a top perfumer, Fanny Bal. It certainly is in the same family as Le Beau and Boss Bottled Pacific. For me, Iris is possibly the least important or noticeable note, and it’s probably there to enhance the creaminess you mention. This is next level perfumery from a clone house, from Lattafa! Lattafa is stepping up its game for me.

[@gerardgeorge]

I agree with everything except the prominence of Iris however that's very subjective and related to skin chemistry. I get a TON of iris here.

[@johnhenshaw318]

Smells nothing like le beau bro. You must have never smelled jpg le beau 🤣

[@JB-0034]

Same family

[@kenmastersmaster]

Looool next level perfumery it's cheap as hell

[@My-by]

I like this stuff! It’s definitely good, how do I know? When Guys ask you what are you wearing? When women just start talking to you for no good reason! Like asking you questions while in line at the deli about the menu” or offering you coupons at the checkout in Walmart 😂 I’ve even had women come up to me and tell me how unhealthy the food in my Publix shopping cart is! I’m like huh?” I’m telling you, this fragrance have become one of my favorites.

[@gerardgeorge]

Sometimes fragrances can easily break the ice if you are an approachable person.

[@stephenross710]

I thought it was good surprise. I saw mixed reviews when it first dropped but I always like to be the judge of my nose and for 35 bucks I was like why not blind buy it. I get decent projection and it lasts about 5 hours on my skin. Which isn't bad at all for a 35 dollar fragrance.

[@gerardgeorge]

Yea true. I got a longer on mine but I liked it more the longer I wore it.

[@ftorre8965]

Thanks for reviewing this cologne. Still can't decide if I'm going to purchase it. Please remember to subscribe and hit the like button. Appreciate the honesty Mr George brings to the table.

[@gerardgeorge]

You are the best thank you!

[@BictorBananas]

This Wednesday I should receive Asad Zanzibar, Ysl Y Live and finally Roberto Cavalli just added a new flanker in the uomo line R.C. Uomo Parfum and it's in a new style bottle. I can't wait lol 😂😂

[@gerardgeorge]

Great pickups! Enjoy my friend.

[@juancrodriguez6251]

I really like it a lot 100% agree with you nice review.

[@gerardgeorge]

Thanks brotha!

[@DannyBellTheAuthor]

Good video, I'm still curious to try this one.

[@gerardgeorge]

I'd be VERY curious to see what you think.

[@Muck_Unknown21]

I love it, just wish it had more longevity.

[@gerardgeorge]

I’ve noticed these improve over time with performance.

[@Muck_Unknown21]

@@gerardgeorge ok, thanks for the info.

[@vanceneal1701]

Great review!

[@gerardgeorge]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@charlesstultz1879]

I have been curious about that one

[@gerardgeorge]

Its pretty good.

[@antonioviana7645]

I actually love this one, but on my skin 5Hrs max, sad cause I love it

[@gerardgeorge]

Will probably get better longevity over time

[@greggraham9785]

Gerard I'm digging the first impressions. SOTD BENTLEY MAN ABSOLUTE STAY SAFE BROTHER

[@gerardgeorge]

Thanks Greg!

[@ponce1114]

In my opinion, the dry down is similar to givenchy gentleman reserve prive

[@gerardgeorge]

I'll have to revisit the Givenchy and compare havent smelled it in awhile.

[@miker4430]

Well handled and like your honest and direct approach

[@gerardgeorge]

Thanks brotha!

[@marcofragrance]

I get a Dove Men Clean Comfort body wash vibe.

[@gerardgeorge]

Interesting but I see where you could get this good call.

[@marcofragrance]

@@gerardgeorge thanks and yea I’m in between about it. Smells a bit screechy/headachey

[@marcofragrance]

I just purchased Loewe 7 Cobalt. I’m hoping it’s a banger

[@gerardgeorge]

@@marcofragrance love that one I own as well

[@bandit28]

My first impression was ..meh.😕. It grew on me after the 2nd week. I agree with you on with the OG Asad maceration, hopefully this is the same case.

[@gerardgeorge]

I think it will be.

[@BeautyofScent]

You need to try lattafa al qiam silver. Thats the one that's suppose to smell like tygar. That's the real hyped one.

[@gerardgeorge]

Yep I'll try it eventually.

[@Popsarocker1]

Gerard, thanks for another honest review. What let me down and I opened my eyes - was that before it was released a lot of the big influencers were indifferent about this and as soon as it was actually available all of a sudden they thought it was great. That doesn’t add up to me, lol

[@gerardgeorge]

Something stinks Richard hahaha

[@michaelserns1516]

I get excellent performance with this one, but still dont know if I really like it. Don't know how to describe it other than kind of weird off my skin. I'm really not sure where or when I would want to wear it either. Enjoyed your 1st imoression!!

[@gerardgeorge]

You nailed it Michael.

[@walterbarnaba487]

Today i wore the 80s Grey flannel fragrance. and then when i went to the gym i wore armani code black edt. I WANT TO TRY THIS ASAD! I love coconut everything.

[@gerardgeorge]

Yea coconut is my shit I love it.

[@umpus]

I'm still waiting for the price to drop on this and Rasassi Hawas Ice before I purchase. They sound like decent pick ups. I'm not in dire need of another coconut frag as I have every other one out lol and the BIG BOTTLES at that. Shame summer only lasts 3 weeks here in the UK 😅

[@gerardgeorge]

Whats your favorite coconut scent?

[@umpus]

@gerardgeorge It changes but right now, Boss Bottled Pacific. It's an easy reach.

[@gerardgeorge]

@@umpus that’s one that I had meant to pick up. I tested it and loved it. The Boss Bottled line has had some rock solid releases.

[@umpus]

@gerardgeorge Yeah it is falling out of stock now and the price is steadily creeping up. You can still buy the 200ml bottle for $125. I picked one up a few months back when they were $85. Still working through my first 100ml bottle though. Boss scents can be bangers, I have Boss Bottled Elixir, Magnetic and Private Accord. Still have to try The Scent Elixir.

[@mvr2579]

I had a gf who constantly wore coconut fragrances that I just feel like I can't wear it. My pea brain just switches to feminine leaning every time I smell coconut. I haven't deep dived into Lattafa. Besides Asad or Khamrah, what Lataffa would you recommend to start with?

[@gerardgeorge]

I can relate to this. Ana Abiyedh is a solid Erba Pura alternative.

[@desmondstanley4372]

I like it. Definitely more of a casual wear in the spring or mild summer day. I imagine shorts and t-shirt or a short sleeve button up. Definitely a beach or boating scent. I wore this to work once so far and it lasted the entire day with around 3-4 sprays.

[@gerardgeorge]

This is accurate. Also I'm with you on the performance for sure.

[@The_Mavs_Are_Bums]

Heywoah welcome back to the channel 🤣 intro was a lil crazy this video, words came out funny ... 🍀

[@gerardgeorge]

Hahaha thats me!

[@danruffing5057]

Ive had this for about a month and a half and still not 100% sure about it yet. I do like it but its not a goto as of yet

[@gerardgeorge]

I mention that in my video coming out Monday. More polarizing than some are telling us.

[@GunGuy258]

It has eternal longevity.

[@gerardgeorge]

Lasted awhile on me for sure.

[@BoysGotit]

Glad I watched this before I broke the seal. Thanks 😂 it’s still returnable! I was wrong it’s non returnable so I’m selling it now 😂

[@gerardgeorge]

It’s eh. Ok.

[@andrew121205]

Is this is similar as hollister socal cologne?

[@gerardgeorge]

Haven't smelled that but it has been popping up in rack stores.

[@jeffyoung3389]

It's a 35 dollar frangrance what's to hype . Smells great its solid . More hype on jpg paradise garden then this

[@wailsakhri137]

The hype is thats a fragrance who kicks in quality above its Price and has a famous parfumer behind it , and depending on skin and where u live its amazing longevity so thats why

[@gerardgeorge]

Yep

[@gerardgeorge]

There are prominent KZbinr's with massive followings saying this is better than the OG which was probably the most hyped cheapie last year. That is hype if I've ever seen it.

[@christopherames6967]

Its 🔥

[@gerardgeorge]

Enjoy it!

[@umpus]

The only dude who calls it A-said and not A-sad 😅 Is it the accent or just a personal choice?

[@gerardgeorge]

I go back and forth but the correct pronunciation is A-Sed. Sometimes I forget and my insticnt is to say A-sahd

[@Jokerz777]

I've held off buying it. The price has already started dropping.

[@gerardgeorge]

I'm waiting for it to drop more.

[@KhaiFirst]

Lattafa Asad Zanzibar i like name too long haha

[@gerardgeorge]

Yea too many words Khai haha

[@JLitodiaz]

Doesn’t last long. Performance is meh at best.

[@gerardgeorge]

Thanks for sharing.

[@junkies1111]

It's smells like a less sweet le beau le parfum.

[@gerardgeorge]

Thats fair. I think if it were any sweeter it would smell cheaper.

[@HamStrokersEjacula69]

It's alright, decent for 25$ but definitely not some life changing fragrance.

[@gerardgeorge]

Thats fair.

[@jacehodge8892]

It’s not bad but it’s not unique to me.

[@gerardgeorge]

Yea I dont have anything that smells like this.

[@johnhenshaw318]

Have you smelled Cuba Gold before? I think it smells identical to that fragrance, btw is sub $10 fragrance

[@HamStrokersEjacula69]

I didnt mind it but i didnt love it.

[@gerardgeorge]

Yea I feel you.

[@michaeladams9807]

👍👍™️

[@gerardgeorge]

Thanks Michael!

[@312Born-Bred]

G, I hit you up on Monday to let you know that shipped brotha 👊🏼 Check your P.O. Box tomorrow or Friday the latest 👍🏼
