Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Alexandria II EDP
A regal oud-amber composition, Alexandria II is a benchmark for opulent, brooding woods with an aristocratic signature. Fearlessly rich and enveloping, it commands attention with refinement and depth.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Alexander The Great EDP
Alexander The Great follows Xerjoff's Alexandria II's apple-cinnamon-rose-oud shape closely, but the rose and oud accords lack the original's plush richness and the whole thing wears noticeably flatter and lighter over the course of the day.

Season and Occasion Fit

Alexandria II

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Alexandria II's dense oud, sandalwood, resin and spice profile is ideal for cooler fall and winter months, while its floral and subtle fruit notes allow it to transition into spring. It is too rich and opulent for most summer weather.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

The commanding trail, luxurious oud and spicy-amber base make it a standout for formal events or romantic evenings. Its richness can be overwhelming in casual or office settings and is unsuitable for sport.
