If you work in Selangor and you're after a Lattafa EDP for the office, two bottles keep popping up: Asad and Salamah. Both come in 100ml Eau de Parfum, both are made for regular wear, and they go in pretty different directions. Here's what the notes and occasions actually say, so you can pick the one that fits your workdays.
Asad – the bold woody one for men
Asad is Lattafa's men's Eau de Parfum in the Woody Aromatic family, and it doesn't do subtle. The opening hits you with black pepper, tobacco and pineapple, so you get spice, a touch of sweetness and something fresh all at once. As it settles, the heart brings in coffee, patchouli and iris, and the base rounds things off with amber, benzoin, vanilla and woods.
The store describes it as a bold and elegant men's fragrance that balances spice, sweetness and woody warmth, good for day or night. For office wear in Selangor, that matters: the occasions listed for Asad include formal and everyday, alongside casual and special occasion. So it can sit nicely in an air-conditioned meeting room in the morning and still work if your colleagues drag you out for dinner after work.
Who it suits
If you like a men's perfume with a bit of personality – spicy on top, warm and woody underneath – Asad is the one to reach for. It's for guys who want their scent to stand out in the lift.
Salamah – the unisex floral-woody option
Salamah is the 100ml EDP you can share. It's a unisex floral-woody fragrance made for both men and women, and the profile is smoother and fresher than Asad's. It opens with bergamot, lemon and saffron, moves into a heart of rose, lavender and cedarwood, then settles on warm amber, vanilla and musk.
The store calls it an elegant, versatile scent with a balanced mix of sweetness and sophistication, and it's listed as suitable for daily wear. Its occasions are everyday and special occasion, which covers your Monday-to-Friday office routine as well as weekend plans.
Who it suits
If you want one bottle that works for you and your partner, or you prefer florals with a woody backbone instead of heavy spice, Salamah fits. It's also a solid pick if rose and lavender sound more like your thing than tobacco and coffee.
Asad or Salamah for office wear?
Both are 100ml EDPs from Lattafa, so the real difference is the scent direction and who each bottle is made for.
- Pick Asad if you want a men's fragrance with a spicy, coffee-and-woods character, and you like that it covers formal, everyday, casual and special occasions.
- Pick Salamah if you want a unisex floral-woody scent with a fresh citrus and saffron opening, one that's built for daily wear and can be shared.
One more thing for Selangor readers: our weather stays hot and humid all year, and most offices and malls run the air-conditioning full blast. Both perfumes list summer among their seasons, and both include everyday in their occasions, so you can't really go wrong here – just decide whether you're in a spice-and-coffee mood or a rose-and-cedarwood one.
