What does Alexandria smell like?
Voters find its longevity strong and its sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so this impression is not definitive. Being unisex, it sits comfortably on any skin. Its dense, sweet and spicy character suits cooler weather.
It opens with bergamot, cardamom and frankincense, citrusy, spicy and slightly resinous. In the heart, jasmine and praliné come forward and the scent turns gourmand and creamy. The base of patchouli, Bourbon vanilla, oud and sandalwood forms a woody, smoky, oriental ground. The perfumer is Alberto Morillas.
