This is a warm, unisex woody oriental EDP launched back in 2016 by Lattafa; no single perfumer is officially named, which is standard for the brand. It’s said to be an affordable alternative to Baccarat Rouge 540, but honestly it has its own personality. Its softer, fruitier, and less sharply mineral than what you might expect from that comparison. “Ana Abiyedh” roughly means “I am white”, while Rouge gives it that richer, warmer twist. I went in thinking it’d just be another cheap clone, but it’s actually well blended and doesn’t scream synthetics up close, thos is good, solid value for money. It opens bright and juicy with Nashi pear, kumquat and bergamot, its fresh but not sharp or sour, just a nice soft fruity‑citrus start. That settles fast into the heart, caramel and geranium, sometimes with subtle hints of gentle spice, the caramel gives a smooth sweet warmth, geranium adds a clean herbal‑floral edge so it never turns cloying. The drydown is where it stays longest: ambergris, musk and oakmoss. That ambergris brings that familiar salty‑rich feel, musk wraps it cleanly around you, and oakmoss adds depth and a soft earthy finish. It evolves steadily, no weird jumps or chemical mess, just simple, consistent progression. Performance is easily one of its strongest points: I get 4 hours on skin, strong first 90m with a solid noticeable scent bubble, then stays close to the skin. On clothes it lingers well into the next day. It projects confidently but isn’t room‑filling or headache‑inducing, balanced enough for work or casual days, warm enough for evenings and cooler weather. In direct terms: way cheaper than the inspiration, softer opening, less sharp mineral bite. Great year‑round except maybe peak summer heat still works there but won’t hang around quite as long. At this price point it’s honestly one of Lattafa’s better balanced releases. My Rating: 5.5 / 10 Scent: 1.5 / 3 Longevity: 1.5 / 3 Sillage: 1.5/ 3 Y/N: 1 / 1

I just realized I wore this recently and didn’t saw it on my rotation record, but it was there… 😒🤦🏼‍♂️ I try not to repeat fragrances to give some wear to my entire collection. However, I was craving something like it and didn’t overthink it. Previous review:👇🏼 https://www.skool.com/bos/lattafa-asad-bourbon-2?p=7a1d508d
