Across The Universe

Alexandria UK Across The Universe is an Eau de Parfum. Across The Universe opens with Bergamot and Lemon, settles into a heart of Floral, Neroli, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Woody and Musk. Alexandria UK's Across The Universe carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

Across The Universe follows Maison Francis Kurkdjian's Aqua Universalis Forte's lemon-neroli-musk formula closely at the top, but the white floral heart feels thinner and the clean musk base fades noticeably sooner than the original's soap-clean, long-wearing signature.

About

Across The Universe is Alexandria UK's version of Maison Francis Kurkdjian's Aqua Universalis Forte, the brand's cult spa-clean citrus musk. The opening is a bright, weightless lemon-bergamot accord that lands close to the original's sparkling freshness. A heart of white flowers, jasmine, Turkish rose, and neroli follows, giving a soft floral lift, though it reads a touch simpler and less layered than MFK's version. The dry-down settles into a clean musk with a wash of soft woods, aiming for the same crisp, laundered finish that made the original a signature scent for so many fans, but the trail is noticeably shorter and the musk less rich. It's a solid entry-level way to try the spa-fresh citrus-musk genre this fragrance is known for, without the price tag of the niche original, though anyone chasing genuine all-day performance will find this fades by the afternoon.
