Alexandria Fragrances Better Peach is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020. Better Peach opens with Blood Orange, Cardamom, and Peach, settles into a heart of Cognac, Jasmine, Heliotrope, and Rum, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vetiver, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Alexandria Fragrances's Better Peach carries an Acquired verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

This one's a divisive dupe. Some rave it's dead-on and outperforms the original, while others find the opening harsh and the peach not quite right. A 'try before you buy' is definitely recommended, as it doesn't work for everyone, and watch out for potential shelf-life issues.

Given its strong opening and moderate sillage for the first hour, it might be a bit much for a formal office setting. However, its warm, creamy drydown makes it ideal for dates and evening casual wear. Its unique character allows it to work for some formal evening events too, but it's far too heavy for sport.

About

Better Peach delivers a complex, boozy take on the fruit, far from your typical bright, juicy peach. It opens with a potent hit of peach and blood orange, underscored by the rich warmth of rum and cognac. As it settles, a creamy, powdery vanilla and tonka bean take centre stage, intertwined with the earthy depth of vetiver and sandalwood, creating a surprisingly gourmand, dessert-like impression rather than a fresh fruit.
