Is Alexandria UK Alexander The Great a dupe of Xerjoff Alexandria II?
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
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.
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.
