ResinousWhat does Alexandria Imperiale smell like?
The opening is floral and spicy, with rose, cardamom and lavender. In the heart, leather, cypriol, cedar and iris make it leathery, woody and slightly powdery. The base turns sweet and resinous, as the ouds meet amber, vanilla and musk.
Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards night out and evening wear. Most voters read it as masculine.
