Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Alexandria II Eau de Parfum
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.
Statement
Our Verdict - Alexandria III Parfum
Alexandria III is a deeply polarising oud-rose that improves on its predecessor for some, while others view it as a total misstep. Expect a loud, luxurious scent that demands attention - just be sure you actually like it first.
