Alexandria UK Oriental Leather is an Eau de Parfum. Oriental Leather opens with Rose and Raspberry, settles into a heart of Rose and Labdanum, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Oud, and Patchouli. Alexandria UK's Oriental Leather carries an Acquired verdict, a rose-led wear.

Oriental Leather is Alexandria UK's dupe of Dior's Oud Ispahan, aiming for the same jammy rose-and-oud pairing. It swaps Dior's raspberry-tinted, tightly blended rose for a sweeter and simpler fruit-rose accord, and the oud-patchouli base is thinner and fades faster, but the rose-oud identity is clearly recognisable at a fraction of the price.

About

Oriental Leather opens on a jammy raspberry-rose combination that echoes Oud Ispahan's signature sweet-tart rose but comes across a touch more candied and less refined. The heart deepens into a fuller rose with a warm labdanum resin, building toward the smoky oud base that made the original famous. Patchouli and sandalwood round things out with a woody, balsamic warmth, though the composition feels flatter and fades within a few hours rather than the original's long, evolving dry-down. It is best worn on cooler evenings when you want an oud-forward rose fragrance without the designer price tag, even if it lacks the depth and polish of Dior's version.
