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.
Scentleys' reading of Xerjoff's Alexandria II (2012) - the oud-rose-amber holy grail, rendered lighter and shorter-wearing than the legendary original's benchmark performance.

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
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
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.
Seasons
Rich oud-rose-amber suits autumn and winter, too heavy for summer heat.
Occasions
A luxurious date-night and formal-occasion scent, less suited to office or sport.
