Alexandria Fragrances Cleopatra is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2017. Cleopatra opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Patchouli, and Violet, settles into a heart of Musk, Sandalwood, Rose, and Styrax, and dries down to a base of Amber, Ylang-Ylang, Lilac, and Peach. Alexandria Fragrances's Cleopatra carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a divisive clone, aiming for the top but sometimes missing the mark. You'll either love its evolving, confident dry-down or find its opening a bit too much. Definitely one to sample first to see if it works with your chemistry.

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.

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
  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • 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

Opens with a lively burst of citrus and crisp apple, intertwined with a spicy hint of pink pepper that can lean a bit sharp initially. It quickly settles into a richer, more complex heart where powdery violet and delicate lilac mingle with warm amber and soft musk, grounded by sandalwood and a touch of earthy patchouli. The dry-down reveals a sophisticated, musky fruitiness that lingers.
