Lattafa Asad Zanzibar Limited Edition 100ml Eau de Parfum
Lattafa Asad Zanzibar Limited Edition is a warmer, spicier reworking of the original Asad Zanzibar — a fresh marine opening that turns into cinnamon, amber and soft woods. Released in 2025 by Lattafa Perfumes as a limited run, this is the full-size 100ml bottle at £18.99 — 100% authentic and dispatched within 24 hours. If you have been searching for Lattafa Asad Zanzibar Limited Edition in the UK, this is the version to reach for when the weather turns.
Lattafa Asad Zanzibar Limited Edition Notes
Top notes — Marine, Lavender, Pink Pepper. A fresh, aromatic opening: a salty marine accord and cool lavender lifted by bright pink pepper. This is the part that still nods to the original Zanzibar.
Heart notes — Cinnamon, Black Soap, Cashmeran. Where the Limited Edition parts company with the original. Warm cinnamon arrives early, a clean black soap accord keeps it fresh rather than heavy, and cashmeran adds a soft woody-musky texture underneath.
Base notes — Tonka Bean, Amber, Cedarwood, Sandalwood. A cosy, woody drydown — sweet tonka and glowing amber over dry cedar and creamy sandalwood.
In short, the Asad Zanzibar Limited Edition notes run marine, lavender and pink pepper → cinnamon, black soap and cashmeran → tonka, amber, cedarwood and sandalwood. The official accords are aromatic, amber and woody.
Limited Edition vs Original Asad Zanzibar — What’s the Difference?
These are two genuinely different fragrances, not the same juice in a different box. If you are choosing between them, this is the section that matters.
Asad Zanzibar (original, 2024, £16.99) is a salty beach scent — black pepper and sea lavender over coconut water and iris, finishing on vanilla and incense. Creamy, aquatic, and firmly a summer fragrance.
Asad Zanzibar Limited Edition (2025, £18.99) keeps the marine opening but swaps the coconut heart for cinnamon and soap, and replaces the vanilla-incense base with tonka, amber and woods. The result is spicier, warmer and considerably more versatile.
The practical answer: buy the original if you want a beach-and-holiday scent for hot weather. Buy the Limited Edition if you want something you can wear from spring through autumn, into the evening, and to the office. They overlap far less than the shared name suggests, and plenty of people own both.
Some wearers have drawn a comparison to Rasasi Hawas, which sits in the same fresh-spicy-woody territory — but that is an informal observation from the community rather than an inspiration Lattafa has claimed, and we are not going to present it as a dupe.
What It Actually Smells Like
It opens fresh and slightly sharp — salt air, lavender and a peppery bite — and for about fifteen minutes you would call it an aquatic. Then the cinnamon shows up and the whole thing tilts warm. The black soap accord is the clever bit: it keeps a clean, just-showered quality running through the middle so the spice never turns heavy or dated.
By the drydown you are in tonka, amber and dry cedar territory, and the marine opening is a memory. It is a two-act fragrance, and the second act is the better one.
Is It Still Available? — On the Limited Edition
Asad Zanzibar Limited Edition was produced as a limited run rather than a permanent addition to the Asad line. Lattafa has not announced a restock, so once current stock moves through the supply chain it is not guaranteed to return.
We list it here while we have it, at £18.99 for the full 100ml Eau de Parfum with free UK delivery. If you have been weighing it up, that is the honest position — not a countdown timer, just the reality of how limited runs work.
Performance & When To Wear
The tonka, amber and woods base gives the Limited Edition noticeably better longevity than the original, with a warm, spicy-woody trail that outlasts the fresh opening by hours.
It is a genuine year-rounder with a lean toward spring, autumn and cooler evenings. Two to three sprays is right — it projects well without shouting, which is what makes it workable for the office in a way the sweeter Lattafa releases are not.
Who It’s For & Styling
It leans masculine and Lattafa Perfumes markets it as a men’s fragrance, though the fresh-spicy-woody profile wears comfortably on anyone. It suits daily wear, work, and evenings out equally — this is a workhorse rather than a statement bottle.
If it appeals, the rest of the Lattafa Asad collection and our fresh & aquatic range are the natural next stop.

Lattafa Asad Zanzibar Limited Edition FAQs
What are the notes in Asad Zanzibar Limited Edition?
Marine, lavender and pink pepper in the top; cinnamon, black soap and cashmeran in the heart; tonka bean, amber, cedarwood and sandalwood in the base.
What is the difference between Asad Zanzibar and the Limited Edition?
The original is a salty coconut-and-iris beach scent with a vanilla-incense base, built for hot weather. The Limited Edition keeps the marine opening but goes spicier and warmer — cinnamon and soap in the heart, tonka, amber and woods in the base — making it far more versatile across seasons.
Is Asad Zanzibar Limited Edition better than the original?
Different rather than strictly better, but it is the more wearable of the two if you want one bottle for most of the year. The original wins if you specifically want a summer beach fragrance.
How long does Asad Zanzibar Limited Edition last?
The tonka, amber and woods base gives it strong longevity with a warm trail — better than the original, whose lighter vanilla-incense base fades faster. Performance varies with skin type.
Is Asad Zanzibar Limited Edition for men or women?
Lattafa markets it as a men’s fragrance and it does lean masculine, but the fresh-spicy-woody profile is comfortably unisex.
Is it a dupe of another fragrance?
No. It is an original Lattafa Perfumes composition. Some wearers have noted a resemblance to Rasasi Hawas in the fresh-spicy-woody family, but that is a community observation, not a claimed inspiration.
When should I wear it?
Spring through autumn especially, and cooler evenings. It works in summer too, but the cinnamon and amber come forward in heat.
