What is this fragrance?
Official identity and concentration
Asad Bourbon — Lattafa · Eau de Parfum · 100 ml · Unisex. An exact launch year was not verified.
Understanding its opening notes
Manufacturer-listed notes: Pink Pepper · Lavender · Mirabelle Plum
Pink pepper is a spicy note, lavender an aromatic floral-herbal reference, and mirabelle is a type of plum. These three opening notes differ explicitly from the black pepper, pineapple and tobacco of original Asad.
Heart notes and the way accords connect
Cacao · Davana · Nutmeg
The published heart comprises cacao, davana and nutmeg. Davana is an aromatic plant reference often interpreted as herbal or fruity; cacao describes a cocoa-like impression, not a guarantee of edible chocolate in the perfume.
Published base notes
Vetiver · Bourbon Vanilla · Amber
The listed base combines vetiver, bourbon vanilla and amber. 'Bourbon vanilla' is a vanilla naming convention in fragrance materials and must not automatically be read as bourbon whiskey.
Fragrance family and described character
Taken together, the pyramid suggests a warm spicy-aromatic perfume with a cacao nuance and a vanilla-amber foundation. This is an evidence-limited interpretation of the named notes rather than an actual wear trial.
Differences from related editions
Original Asad features black pepper, pineapple, tobacco, coffee and iris. Bourbon uses mirabelle, cacao, davana, nutmeg and bourbon vanilla. The editions should be identified separately when reading comparisons or buying.

How to read a note pyramid
A note list is not the technical formula
The word Bourbon on this fragrance refers to its named vanilla note and is not proof of whiskey. The perfume's unisex designation is the brand's product classification, not a statement about how every person will smell it.
What cannot be inferred from notes?
Fragrance notes are descriptive and may refer to accords or aroma molecules; they are not necessarily separate ingredients in known concentrations.
When might you sample this fragrance?
Someone interested in spice and sweeter notes may choose to sample Bourbon. Projection, longevity and ideal seasons require testing; none can be derived reliably from the note pyramid.
What to verify before choosing a bottle
What does EDP tell us?
Eau de Parfum identifies the marketed concentration type but cannot alone establish hours of performance on every wearer. Compare exact edition names, not just brand names.
What cannot be inferred from notes?
Look for the complete Asad Bourbon edition name. Lattafa USA lists it as a 100 ml Eau de Parfum, distinct from original Asad and other Asad variants.
