Alexandria Limited #78 (V2)

Alexandria Limited #78 100ml (V2) is one of Alexandria UK's own house creations rather than a dupe of a specific designer fragrance. It opens with an electric blast of grapefruit and lime, sharpened by fizzy ginger, for an immediately loud and hyper-fresh introduction. As that citrus rush settles, a cooler, juicier layer of bergamot, pear, and green apple keeps the composition from feeling too sharp. The real signature is the drydown: heavy doses of Ambroxan and ambergris create a salty, mineral character that's mixed with soft woods and clean musk, giving a polished, expensive-smelling finish that lasts well through the day without turning heavy. This V2 formulation adds a touch of extra woody depth to the base compared to earlier versions. It's a versatile, all-purpose fresh scent that works as easily for the gym as it does with tailoring, aimed at fans of modern Ambroxan-forward citrus fragrances rather than at recreating any one specific original.
