Alexandria UK Orange County is an Eau de Parfum. Orange County opens with Orange, Grapefruit, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Geranium, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Benzoin. Alexandria UK's Orange County carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

Orange County is Alexandria UK's dupe of Hermes Terre d'Hermes, borrowing the same grapefruit-vetiver-cedar skeleton. It opens brighter and more sugary than Hermes' mineral, earthy original, and the vetiver-patchouli base is thinner and shorter-lived, but the general citrus-woody direction is recognisable for a fraction of the price.

About

Orange County opens with a juicy orange and grapefruit blast lifted by pink pepper, giving a sweeter and more straightforward citrus hit than Terre d'Hermes' famous mineral grapefruit accord. A geranium heart adds a green, slightly soapy edge before the fragrance settles into its base. Vetiver, cedar and patchouli build a rugged, earthy dry-down with benzoin providing warmth, though it lacks the original's flinty, sophisticated depth and fades to a soft woody-citrus scent within a few hours. It works well as a daytime, warm-weather scent for the office or a casual outing, and is a fair way to sample the citrus-vetiver genre without the designer investment.
