Alexandria Fragrances Highlands is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2019. Highlands opens with Spicy and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Ambergris. Alexandria Fragrances's Highlands carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

This one's a divisive clone, aiming for a classic barbershop feel. Some reckon it's better than the original, others think it misses the mark entirely. Definitely one to try before you buy.

While some reviewers wear this year-round and for every occasion, its mature and sophisticated character, driven by warm spicy and amber accords, makes it less ideal for casual sports and better suited to formal settings or evening dates. The barbershop clean feel lends itself well to office wear, but its bold presence might be a tad much if oversprayed.

About

Highlands takes you on a journey through a rugged landscape with its dominant warm spicy and amber accords. Lavender and woody notes provide a classic fougere-barbershop vibe, while a hint of animalic depth ensures it's more than just a clean shave. The spicy core, with whispers of clove, gives it a robust character, balanced by a touch of powdery softness that appears in the dry down.
