Alexandria Fragrances 2017 Extrait
Black Tie Affair
Alexandria Fragrances Black Tie Affair is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2017. Black Tie Affair opens with Bergamot, Violet Leaf, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Rose, Lily Of The Valley, and Pepper, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Vanilla, and Ambergris. 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.
