Its Never Too Late (Meraki)

It's Never Too Late, previously sold as Meraki, is one of Alexandria UK's original creations rather than a copy of an existing designer fragrance. Crafted by the Moellhausen perfumers, it opens with a delicate whisper of wild jasmine and white flowers, sweetened by osmanthus, raspberry and cherry for a fruity, feminine top. The heart shifts into spicier territory with cardamom, saffron and nutmeg woven through a balsamic accord of resins, amber and myrrh, giving the composition real depth and complexity for a mall-brand release. The base anchors everything with a leathery richness of guaiac wood and bold cedarwood, joined by a golden tobacco accord and a creamy finish of tonka bean and vanilla. The result is a genuinely layered, spicy-sweet oriental that reads more ambitious than most dupe-house output, likely because it was built as its own composition rather than reverse-engineered from a target scent. It performs best as a cool-weather, evening fragrance where its resinous sweetness has room to unfold, and is one of the more distinctive entries in Alexandria UK's catalogue precisely because it doesn't chase anyone else's signature.
