Alexandria Fragrances 2018 Extrait
Africano
Alexandria Fragrances Africano is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2018. Africano opens with Marigold, Bergamot, Lemon, and Orange Blossom, settles into a heart of Cyclamen, Jasmine, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Vetiver. Alexandria Fragrances's Africano carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.
This much-debated dupe delivers a clean, fresh, and slightly sweet aroma that's both uplifting and versatile. While some quibble about its authenticity, most find it a superb and long-lasting alternative to its inspiration.What our verdicts mean →

Our estimate of scent similarity, calculated from published notes. How we score it
Profile
Composition
Timeline
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
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Best Occasions
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.
