Alexandria Fragrances Burj Khalifa is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2017. Burj Khalifa opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Lime, and settles into a heart of Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, and Fig. Alexandria Fragrances's Burj Khalifa carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a divisive clone of Roja's Amber Aoud, but when it hits right, it really hits. It's an oud-heavy scent that demands attention with its potent sillage and formidable longevity, not for the faint of heart or those seeking subtlety.

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.

Date Formal

Given its 'performance monster' status with strong projection and longevity, Burj Khalifa is too potent for most office environments, where subtlety is key. It excels in formal settings and evening dates, where its bold and luxurious character can truly shine without overwhelming the space.

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

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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

Burj Khalifa opens with a bright burst of citrus from bergamot, lemon, and lime, quickly followed by a rich, complex heart of jasmine, ylang-ylang, and a hint of fig. This floral sweetness then plunges into a deep, animalic, and incredibly woody base, dominated by oud and ambergris, rounded out by musky and subtly spicy undertones. Expect a powerful, luxurious blend that clings to the skin and projects boldly.
