Lattafa Perfumes Qasaed Al Sultan Eau de Parfum

The scent really appealed to me. It's a masculine scent, I would say - brutal, even. It's not sweet at all. Definitely not unisex.

The fragrance is not bad, purely masculine, but the problem is that it doesn't have any sillage at all. It stays close to the skin, like a lotion after shaving.

I don't know why this perfume is being compared to D&G The One or even called a clone, but I assure you, it's not like that at all. The only thing they have in common is cardamom, that's it. The One starts with light fresh notes, but overall it is warm and caramel sweet with a tobacco base, perfect for cold autumn or winter. And of course, it's quite versatile in terms of age, it will sound good on a 20-year-old guy as well as on a 40-year-old, and it's great for a party or a date. Qasaed, on the other hand, is much fresher. In terms of scent, it reminds me of perfumes from the 90s and 2000s, a bit cologne-like at the beginning and very cardamom heavy, at least on me. It's not really an evening perfume, rather an everyday scent, and it will sit nicely even in the office. It projects loudly for the first hour, then it becomes closer to the skin. It doesn't last long on the skin, about 4-6 hours, but on clothes, it lasts twice as long.

The fragrance is long-lasting and has a strong presence. It is definitely a masculine scent, 100%.
