Alexandria Fragrances 2018 Extrait
China Affair
Alexandria Fragrances China Affair is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2018. China Affair opens with Citrus, Bitter Orange, and Neroli, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Rose, Jasmine, and Orris, and dries down to a base of White Chocolate, Woody, Musk, and Amber. 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.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Best Occasions
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.
