This discontinued gem is polarizing. For some, it's a sweet, cozy dream; for others, it's a cloying sugar bomb. If you can get your hands on a bottle, be prepared for a strong, long-lasting scent that leans heavily into amber sweetness.

Alexandria UK self-titles Cleopatra as its own fruity-chypre take rather than naming a designer original, so treat it as a house blend: bright green apple and rose over a patchouli-amber base. Louder and flatter in the opening than a niche chypre, with a shorter, sweeter dry-down and 2-3 star performance rather than genuine depth.
