Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Richwood EDP
A benchmark sandalwood chypre: Richwood is powerfully opulent, yet seamlessly blended. Its deep woods, plush rose, and subtle fruit radiate timeless luxury and elegant confidence.

Our Verdict - Valley Of The Kings EDP
Valley Of The Kings is Alexandria UK's take on Xerjoff Richwood - the same rose-patchouli-sandalwood story at a fraction of the price. It flattens the original's slow-building, resinous depth into a brighter, more linear composition with noticeably less staying power.

Season and Occasion Fit

Richwood

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Richwood's opulent sandalwood, patchouli and vanilla make it best suited for cooler temperatures, excelling in fall and winter when its richness and warmth blossom. The touch of citrus and rose allows some versatility in spring, but it is too heavy for most summer wear.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its bold projection and luxurious profile make Richwood ideal for formal events and special dates, while its richness might overwhelm in casual or office settings. Far too opulent for sporty occasions.
