China Affair

Name: China Affair Eau de Parfum
Brand: Alexandria Fragrances

Alexandria Fragrances China Affair is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Hany Hafez. China Affair opens with Neroli, Bitter Orange, and Citrus, settles into a heart of Orris, Rose, Jasmine, and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of White Chocolate, Musk, Amber, and Incense. Alexandria Fragrances's China Affair carries a Favourite verdict, a amber-led wear.

If Coromandel is out of budget, this 'inspired by' scent offers a similar vibe without breaking the bank. It's divisive, with some finding it a dead ringer, others detecting weaker performance or a 'stale' note.

Its moderate sillage and amber-woody character make it suitable for office wear, especially if applied lightly, as mentioned by some reviewers. The sensual dry down with white chocolate and incense makes it ideal for dates and evening events, while its comforting warmth suits casual wear. It's definitely not a gym scent.

About

China Affair kicks off with a bright, zesty burst of neroli and bitter orange, quickly mellowing into a heart of powdery orris, soft rose, and earthy patchouli. The dry down is where it truly shines, with a warm embrace of white chocolate, amber, and incense, underpinned by woody notes and a subtle musk. It's a comforting, sophisticated scent that brings warmth and depth.
