ResinousWhat does Alexandria II (Parfum) smell like?
It opens with lavender, apple, cinnamon and rosewood; in the heart, cedarwood and Bulgarian rose lead while lily of the valley softens the floral side. The base of musk, sandalwood, amber, Laotian oud and vanilla settles into a creamy, resinous warmth with a faint animal edge.
Longevity and sillage are rated very strong. Most voters pick winter and fall, and favor evenings and nights out over daytime or office wear. It leans masculine and reads classic. Its profile is close to Alexandria III and Alexandria.
