Upside Down

Alexandria Fragrances Upside Down is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020. Upside Down settles into a heart of Tobacco, Vanilla, Rum, and Cinnamon. Alexandria Fragrances's Upside Down carries an Acquired verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

Upside Down is a polarising beast. While many hail it as a powerhouse, note-perfect dupe of Initio's Side Effect, others call it a synthetic mess. It's potent and persistent, but whether it's good or bad depends entirely on your nose.

This fragrance is an absolute sillage monster with incredible longevity, making it unsuitable for an office environment where subtlety is key. Its boozy, sensual nature makes it perfect for a date night or a casual evening out, but its intensity might be a bit much for formal events unless applied sparingly.

About

Exploding with an intensely boozy opening, Upside Down quickly settles into a rich and creamy vanilla heart. This sweetness is perfectly balanced by the smoky depth of tobacco and a warm kiss of cinnamon, creating a compelling, intoxicating aroma. The rum note remains prominent throughout, adding an indulgent, almost syrupy quality.
