Alexandria Fragrances Brasilia is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2017. Brasilia opens with Bergamot, Apple, Blackcurrant, and Pineapple, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Birch, Jasmine, and Pink Pepper, and dries down to a base of Musk, Oakmoss, Vanilla, and Ambergris. Alexandria Fragrances's Brasilia carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

This Aventus clone is a divisive beast, with some hailing it as the best imitation out there and others utterly unimpressed by its performance and scent. If you're chasing that fruity-smoky vibe for a fraction of the price, it's worth a sniff, but tread carefully.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Sport
Also Works:
Formal

Its fresh and fruity profile makes it highly versatile for casual and date wear, while some find it bright and clean enough for the office. However, variable reports on longevity and sillage mean it might not always stand up to formal events or heavy sports.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a juicy burst of pineapple and crisp apple, lifted by zesty bergamot, before settling into a woody heart of birch and earthy patchouli. A hint of spicy pink pepper adds intrigue. The grand finale is a sophisticated base of oakmoss, creamy vanilla, and ambergris, grounding the fruity top with a smooth, musky depth.
