Alexandria Fragrances 2017 Extrait
Monaliza
Alexandria Fragrances Monaliza is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2017. Monaliza opens with Rose, Cinnamon, Clove, and Raspberry, 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 musk-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.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.
