Bitter Soft

by Hany Hafez

Alexandria Fragrances Bitter Soft is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Hany Hafez. Bitter Soft opens with Thyme and Raspberry, settles into a heart of Frankincense and Night-Blooming Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Leather and Suede. Alexandria Fragrances's Bitter Soft carries an Acquired verdict, a leather-led wear.

If you're after a bold, long-lasting leather with a fruity kick, this is a definite winner - many say it's an indistinguishable dupe for a much pricier option. Expect compliments and a scent that sticks around.

Its impressive longevity and strong sillage, combined with the dominant leather accord, make it less suitable for office wear. However, these same characteristics, especially the intense and alluring nature, make it perfect for dates and evening formal events where you want to make a statement.

About

Opens with a potent, almost shocking blast of realistic, slightly green raspberry, perfectly balanced by a herbaceous thyme. This vibrant start quickly mellows into a luxurious, warm leather and supple suede base, underscored by a touch of smoky frankincense and a whisper of night-blooming jasmine that adds an intriguing depth to the animalic heart.
