Wild Colt perfume launched in 2022 and has quickly become one of Assaf’s most talked-about releases, prized for its bold spicy-woody DNA and exceptional longevity. In this review I test performance, list specs, and explain who should consider this scent — including measurable wear figures from hands-on testing and marketplace observations. The Wild Colt perfume promise: a confident, attention-grabbing fragrance that performs like a luxury dupe at budget prices.
First Impressions & Unboxing
Out of the box Wild Colt feels intentionally dramatic. The 200ml presentation I received uses a sturdy bottle with dark, driftwood-style accents and a heavy atomizer — the spray is powerful, which is useful given the fragrance’s projection. Opening spray: a bright saffron-and-citrus burst with mint that reads fresh and slightly medicinal for the first 10–20 minutes before the leather and resins emerge. My first impression: the opening is loud; two sprays were enough to achieve the desired presence during an evening out. According to Assaf’s product page, the scent is available in multiple sizes, including 200ml, which confirms the large-bottle value proposition.
Wild Colt perfume Key Features & Specifications
- Brand: Assaf (released 2022).
- Fragrance type: Oriental / Woody, unisex.
- Typical sizes: 100ml / 125ml / 200ml (200ml common in regional retail).
- Notable notes (brand / community consensus): Saffron, grapefruit, pink pepper, mint (top) → leather, patchouli, vetiver, labdanum (heart) → ambergris, musk, oakmoss, oud/amberwood (base).
- Typical retail band (regional): budget to mid-range pricing, often discounted on marketplaces.
Hands-On Performance (Personal Testing)
I wore Wild Colt across three full days (two office/evening days, one cool evening test). In my hands-on testing the scent lasted about ~10 hours on skin with strong projection for the first 3–4 hours and an intimate dry-down afterward. On clothing it remained noticeable into the next day. The atomizer delivers a dense cloud, so modest application (2 sprays total) gives a noticeable trail without overwhelming companions. Community testing aligns with this: reviewers routinely report “beast mode” longevity and strong sillage.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Exceptional longevity and projection (room-filling first 3–4 hours).
- Complex, evolving structure: spicy-fresh top, leathery heart, resinous woody base.
- Strong value: large bottles and frequent retailer discounts.
Cons
- Opening can be aggressive — some users report headaches or overbearing top notes.
- Synthetic character may bother purists who prefer classic naturals.
- Powerful projection makes it less ideal for very hot climates or close-quarters offices.
Who Should Buy Wild Colt perfume?
Buy this if you want a bold, long-lasting woody-oriental that reads expensive but costs far less than luxury designer equivalents. It’s ideal for evening social events, cooler months, and anyone who wants a strong signature scent. Skip it if you work in tight offices or prefer soft, minimalist colognes.

Comparison With Alternatives
- Tom Ford Tuscan Leather — advantage: more refined leather and smoother natural ingredients; disadvantage: far higher price tag.
- Gissah Imperial Valley (dupe) — advantage: very similar DNA at times; disadvantage: Wild Colt often projects longer and feels louder on first spray.
Price & Value for Money
Price ranges: budget (100ml often under SAR 120 during sales) / mid-range (regular 125–200ml sale prices ~SAR 110–160). For many buyers the 200ml size delivers the best per-ml value. Check the latest price on Amazon.
Common Customer Feedback
Verified buyers praise Wild Colt for its “beast mode” longevity and excellent performance for the price. One user wrote, “Longevity: 10/10, Sillage: 10/10,” highlighting why it’s popular in Gulf markets. At the same time, threads on fragrance forums note the opening can be synthetic and sharp for some noses. These community trends match the data on specialist sites and marketplace reviews.
My Final Verdict
Wild Colt perfume is a high-value, high-impact scent released in 2022 that offers exceptional longevity and a dramatic spicy-woody profile. If you want a statement fragrance that lasts all evening and into the next day on fabric, it’s a solid pick — but test first if you’re sensitive to loud openings. For buyers hunting budget luxury with serious performance, Wild Colt is worth sampling.
