Lattafa Perfumes Asad Zanzibar Eau de Parfum 100ml is a modern aromatic-oriental men's fragrance from the Middle Eastern perfumery house Lattafa. Launched in 2024 by perfumer Fanny Bal, it pairs a bracing lavender and black pepper opening with an unusual heart of coconut water, iris and salt, settling on a warm base of vanilla and incense. The result is a fresh-aromatic composition with a sun-warmed tropical edge — distinctive and slightly polarising, but with notable presence and longevity for the price.

Who it's for
Asad Zanzibar suits men drawn to distinctive, slightly unusual aromatic fragrances rather than safe fresh-aquatic or sweet sport-style ones. It is at its best in spring and summer — particularly for warm-weather travel — but the vanilla-incense base keeps it wearable into cooler months. If you wear Maison Margiela Replica Beach Walk, Carolina Herrera Bad Boy (in its salty moments), or Issey Miyake Fusion d'Issey, Asad Zanzibar sits in similar tropical-aromatic territory at a far more accessible price.
How to use
- Spray onto clean, moisturised skin from around 15 cm away.
- Apply to pulse points — neck, throat, behind the ears and inner wrists.
- Two sprays of an EDP is plenty; the vanilla-incense base anchors the fragrance through the day.
- For a longer scent trail in warm weather, mist lightly onto a cotton shirt collar or linen jacket.
Size: 100ml — the standard everyday format, presented in Lattafa's signature heavy-glass flacon with a tropical-themed label.
