Alexandria Fragrances Fade To Black is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Hany Hafez. Fade To Black opens with Oak, Gingerbread, Virginia Cedarwood, and Amber. Alexandria Fragrances's Fade To Black carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This Kilian Back to Black clone is a deeply divisive, potent winter gourmand. You'll either love its boozy cherry-honey-tobacco blend or find it a sickly, powdery mess. Definitely try before you buy.

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

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage, combined with its heavy, sweet, and spicy profile, make it less suited for an office or sporty environment. However, its complex warmth and seductive character are perfect for dates, and it's elegant enough for formal winter gatherings or sophisticated casual wear.

About

Fade To Black opens with a rich, complex burst, where sweet cherry and juicy raspberry mingle with the deep, boozy warmth of honey and tobacco. As it settles, spicy notes of cardamom, nutmeg, and saffron emerge, alongside a woody depth from oak and cedar. The dry down is a comforting, gourmand embrace of vanilla, tonka, and almond, underpinned by a resinous amber and frankincense, though some find a prominent powdery nuance.
