Alexandria Fragrances Nefarious is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2022. Nefarious opens with Saffron, Honey, and Fig, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Leather, Amber, Cedar, and Oud. Alexandria Fragrances's Nefarious carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a proper wild ride, divisive from the word go. It starts out a bit... challenging, shall we say, but if you stick with it, Nefarious unfolds into something truly impressive. Definitely not a blind buy, this is for those who appreciate a fragrance that tells a story.

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.

About

Nefarious kicks off with a bold, almost animalic blast of oud and rich spices, quickly softened by a decadent swirl of honey and sweet fig. As it settles, warm cinnamon and nutmeg weave through a heart of jasmine and rose, resting on a luxurious base of deep amber, vanilla, and supple leather. It's a complex, evolving scent for those who like a fragrance with depth.
