Monaliza

by Hany Hafez

Alexandria Fragrances Monaliza is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Hany Hafez. Monaliza opens with Rose, Blackcurrant, Raspberry, and Clove, settles into a heart of Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Musk, Ambroxan, and Benzoin. Alexandria Fragrances's Monaliza carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

Divisive and bold, Monaliza is a powerful rose-incense combo that people either adore for its beastly performance or dismiss as a harsh, unrefined imitation. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so sample before committing to a bottle.

About

Monaliza opens with a rich, spiced rose-think velvety Turkish rose petals mingling with sharp blackcurrant and a kick of clove and cinnamon. This quickly settles into a heart of smoky incense and creamy sandalwood, underscored by earthy patchouli. The drydown deepens with warm amber and musk, leaving a lasting, intense impression.
