Lattafa Asad Polar, Alpine Air and Frosted Pineapple
Most Asads are dark, spiced and heavy. Polar goes the other way: bitter artemisia, cold citrus and a frosted pineapple heart over evergreen resin. This is the full-size Lattafa Asad Polar Eau de Parfum 100ml spray, 100% authentic and dispatched from the UK.

Lattafa Asad Polar Fragrance Notes
Bracing. Artemisia is the key, a cool herbal bitterness that stops the citrus turning generic. Mandarin lifts, blackcurrant adds tartness, violet leaf pushes it towards crushed stems, and a touch of nutmeg keeps one thread of Asad spice alive. Clean without reading like soap.
Where it earns the name. Frosted pineapple is presented as chilled rather than sweet and tropical, closer to a cold cocktail than a dessert. White lavender is softer and more powdery than ordinary lavender, and cashmeran provides the smooth woody hum holding it together.
The warmest part of a cold fragrance. Fir balsam gives real evergreen resin, a forest after snow rather than a Christmas candle. Cedarwood adds dry structure and dry amber a low, skin-close warmth that keeps the base from turning austere.
What Does Lattafa Asad Polar Smell Like?
Cold mountain air with fruit in it. Herbal, green and slightly tart, drying into pine resin and cedar.
Going by the published pyramid, the opening is the sharpest part: artemisia and violet leaf are green and herbal, with mandarin and blackcurrant adding juice. The heart pairs frozen pineapple, which Fragrantica’s launch article presents as crisp and cold rather than syrupy, with white lavender and Cashmeran. The base of fir balsam, cedarwood and dry amber points to a resinous, evergreen finish. Polar has only just launched, so this is our reading of its notes, not a wear test.
Performance and How to Wear It
- Longevity: too early to say. Asad Polar only launched in November 2026, Fragrantica shows no longevity votes yet, and Lattafa publishes no official figure. We will update this once there is reliable owner feedback.
- Projection: not yet known, for the same reason. Going by the notes, it is built as a fresher, lighter Asad than the original.
- Sprays: start with two and adjust once you know how it wears on you.
- Season: on paper, a fresh aromatic profile like this suits spring to autumn and daytime. For a summer Asad available now, see Asad Zanzibar.
- Occasion: going by the notes, daytime and office wear.
Our Take on Lattafa Asad Polar, From the Notes
The ingredient choices. On paper, fir balsam and cedarwood promise a resinous, evergreen base rather than the generic ambroxan finish common in fresh fragrances, and artemisia adds a bitter herbal edge many fresh scents avoid. It also fills a real gap: Fragrantica describes Polar as the first fougère-fruity Asad.
Follow the original. Asad means lion and the original is dark and spiced; Polar shares only pineapple and amber with it, so anyone expecting the original’s tobacco and vanilla weight should look elsewhere. Frozen pineapple and bitter artemisia are also notes that can divide people, so they are worth sampling first.
Verdict: going by the notes, the fresh, daytime Asad of the line. Choose it for that, not as a lighter version of the original. We will add wear notes once there is reliable owner feedback.
Lattafa Asad Polar FAQs
What does Lattafa Asad Polar smell like?
Cold and aromatic. Artemisia, mandarin and blackcurrant open it with a herbal, slightly tart freshness, frosted pineapple and white lavender run through the middle, and fir balsam, cedarwood and dry amber give it a resinous evergreen base.
How is Asad Polar different from the original Asad?
They are close to opposites. The original is dark and spiced, built on black pepper, tobacco, coffee and amber for cold evenings. Polar is fresh and herbal, and on paper it is the Asad best suited to daytime.
Does it actually smell of pineapple?
Pineapple is a listed heart note, presented as frosted, which usually signals a crisp, cold take rather than a sweet, tropical one, and it sits against lavender rather than sugar. That is our reading of the notes, not a wear test.
Is Asad Polar long-lasting?
It is too early to say. Asad Polar launched in November 2026, Fragrantica shows no longevity votes yet, and Lattafa publishes no official figure. We will update this answer once reliable owner reports are available.
Is Asad Polar a dupe of another perfume?
No. Polar is an original Lattafa composition rather than a clone of a designer scent. It sits in the broad fresh aromatic family, but we are not going to name a fragrance it copies when it does not copy one.
Is Asad Polar unisex?
Lattafa present it as a masculine fragrance, but the fresh aromatic profile is far less gendered than the rest of the Asad range and wears comfortably on anyone who likes crisp, herbal, woody scents.
