Name: Africano Eau de Parfum
Brand: Alexandria Fragrances

Alexandria Fragrances Africano is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Hany Hafez.

Alexandria Fragrances's Africano carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

Its clean, fresh, and uplifting profile makes it suitable for everyday wear and active pursuits, while its decent sillage means it's not overpowering for an office setting. The fruity-aromatic character makes it less ideal for very formal events, but it's well-received in casual and date environments.

About

Africano opens with a vibrant burst of zesty bergamot and lemon, softened by the delicate sweetness of orange blossom and a hint of blackcurrant. As it settles, a clean, fresh floral heart of violet and cyclamen emerges. The dry down is grounded by earthy vetiver and warm musk with a touch of amber, creating an overall elegant and clean fragrance with impressive staying power.
