Alexandria Fragrances The Run Way is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. The Run Way opens with Pimiento, Petitgrain, and Rosemary, settles into a heart of Neroli, Jasmine, Orris, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Alexandria Fragrances's The Run Way carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This takes a classic formula and makes it a tad sweeter and sparklier than the original, delivering a clean, masculine floral that’s universally appealing. While some grouse about the price for a clone, for many, it's a solid, high-quality alternative that’s hard to fault.

About

The Run Way opens with a bright, aromatic burst of petitgrain and a peppery kick from pimiento, softened by rosemary's herbaceous touch. As it settles, a lush heart of white florals emerges, with jasmine, neroli, and ylang-ylang intertwining with the powdery elegance of orris. The journey culminates in a sophisticated woody base of vetiver, sandalwood, cedar, and patchouli, grounding the floral and aromatic elements with luxurious depth.
