Black Tie Affair

by Hany Hafez

Alexandria Fragrances Black Tie Affair is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Hany Hafez. Black Tie Affair opens with Violet Leaf, Coriander, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Rose, Lily Of The Valley, and Pepper, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Ambergris, and Vanilla. Alexandria Fragrances's Black Tie Affair carries an Acquired verdict, a patchouli-led wear.

A divisive scent that aims for high-class but splits opinion. While many laud its sophisticated drydown and value, others recoil from a harsh opening and 'wet dirty laundry' phase. Best sampled firsthand rather than blind bought.

About

Black Tie Affair opens with a sharp, green violet leaf and spicy coriander lift, softened by bergamot's zest. As it settles, a floral heart of rose and lily-of-the-valley emerges, spiced by a peppery kick. The journey culminates in a rich, warm drydown of earthy patchouli, ambergris, and a sweet, luxurious vanilla, leaving a long-lasting, sophisticated trail.
