Alexandria Fragrances 1981X is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2018. 1981X opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Jasmine, and Lavender, settles into a heart of Cinnamon, Honey, and Cashmeran, and dries down to a base of Vanilla, Tonka Bean, and Tobacco. Alexandria Fragrances's 1981X carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

This Naxos clone is a sweet, honeyed tobacco stunner, but be prepared for a bit of a wait. Owners swear by maceration to truly unlock its full, compliment-getting potential. Once it's ready, it's a cold-weather essential.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its strong projection and sweet, dense profile make it less suitable for the office where subtlety is key. However, its sophisticated and sensual character, combined with excellent longevity, makes it perfect for date nights and formal events. It can work casually in cooler weather but it's too heavy for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with an invigorating burst of citrus and lavender, bringing a surprising freshness before settling into its true character. The heart reveals a rich, syrupy honey sweetened with cinnamon, which subtly intertwines with a smoothed-out tobacco leaf. As it dries, creamy vanilla and tonka bean provide a warm, inviting backdrop, making for a luxurious and comforting aroma.
