What does Alexandria smell like?

Fruits and lavender open it, with cinnamon layered over them and rosewood softening the start. In the heart, cedarwood, rose and lily of the valley come forward; the fruity and spicy side rests on a woody, oriental, resinous base. Musk, sandalwood, amber, oud and vanilla sweeten and weigh down the finish.

Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with summer and spring further behind. It is worn mostly for nights out and evenings. Two perfumes with a close profile are Xerjoff Alexandria II and MAD Parfumeur Forza.
