Alexandria Fragrances Alexander The Great is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. Alexander The Great opens with Rosewood, Lavender, Cinnamon, and Apple, settles into a heart of Cedar, Rose, and Lily Of The Valley, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Vanilla. Alexandria Fragrances's Alexander The Great carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a mixed bag, to be honest. Some reckon it's a wonderfully complex, luxurious oud, woody, and powdery rose blend that really makes you stand out. Others, however, are utterly underwhelmed by its performance, claiming it barely lasts and doesn't live up to its 'great' name, or its price tag.

About

Alexander The Great opens with a warm, spicy hit of cinnamon and a fresh, fruity whisper of apple, uplifted by lavender. The heart unfolds into a rich, powdery rose and delicate lily, underpinned by the clean aroma of cedar. It settles into a deep, woody base of creamy sandalwood and a smooth vanilla, with a distinct, complex oud note offering luxurious depth.
