Western Leather Gold Skin

Alexandre.J

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Alexandre.J Western Leather Gold Skin is a women's fragrance that pairs the brightness of rhubarb, lemon and mandarin orange with plum and blackcurrant, then leans towards leather in the base. The top is led by rhubarb, lemon and mandarin orange, so the citrus and fresh accords come first. In the heart, floral notes meet plum and blackcurrant, moving the scent in a fruity, sweet direction. The base brings softness from vanilla, spice from nutmeg, a woody edge from white cedar and a leathery contrast from leather. Longevity is rated moderate and sillage good, though the number of ratings is small, so treat these as tentative. It is positioned as a feminine scent, and its fresh, fruity character sits close to everyday wear. Byredo Lil Fleur and Zara W/End till 8:00 PM have a close profile.

Altesse Mysore

7.1

Alexandre.J · 2017

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Alexandre.J Altesse Mysore opens with elemi resin and pink pepper, then moves into a floral, spicy heart of jasmine, Bulgarian rose and saffron, and is classed as a women's fragrance. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. The perfume is aimed at women. A fresh, citrusy start gives way to plum, jasmine and rose in the heart. In the base, amberwood, patchouli, vanilla and benzoin sweeten it into a resinous, woody, powdery finish, while ambroxan and white musk keep a clean, synthetic edge. Yves Saint Laurent Opium Vapeurs de Parfum and Parfums de Marly Darcy have a close profile.

The Majestic Musk

6.7

Alexandre.J · 2019

Fresh · Floral · Sweet

Alexandre.J The Majestic Musk is a fresh, powdery women's fragrance with a faintly leathery edge, built on bergamot, juniper and suede. It opens with bergamot and pink pepper, then moves into juniper, heliotrope and elemi resin. Heliotrope carries the floral side, while juniper and elemi add a fresh, resinous lift. The base of suede, sandalwood and tonka bean settles into a soft, creamy, lightly sweet finish. Spicy, woody and fougère accords stay in the background and frame the powdery core.

Western Leather White

6.6

Alexandre.J · 2014

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Alexandre.J Western Leather White is a fresh, floral women's fragrance whose fruity sweetness settles into a soft, powdery warmth. It opens with rhubarb, apple and red fruits, giving a green, citrusy brightness at first. In the heart, rose, jasmine and freesia build a floral core, while pineapple, pear and blackcurrant push the fruit forward. The base of ambrette, white musk, violet and amberwood softens everything into a woody, powdery, creamy finish, with the leathery and spicy accents staying in the background. Its chypre structure keeps the sweetness from turning sugary.
