Alexandria UK SB#3 is an Eau de Parfum. SB#3 opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Lavender, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Geranium, and Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Leather, Vetiver, Oakmoss, and Civet. Alexandria UK's SB#3 carries an Acquired verdict, a spicy-led wear.

SB#3 chases the ultra-niche Roja Dove Semi Bespoke No. 3, a spice-and-leather chypre, at Extrait strength. The spice spike and animalic leather land loud and fast, but the composition reads flatter and shorter-lived than Roja's layered, slow-building original.

About

SB#3 takes aim at the coveted Roja Dove Semi Bespoke No. 3, opening with a classic gentleman's citrus-lavender accord before a heart of geranium, rose and jasmine tries to recreate the original's plush floral core. Where it diverges most is the spice: cumin, cardamom and cinnamon spike harder and earlier than Roja's more integrated version, giving an immediate but two-dimensional punch. The base leans on oakmoss, vetiver and leather with a touch of animalic civet and salty ambergris, echoing the reference's primal dry-down, though it fades faster and thinner on skin. A loud, budget-friendly opening trades some of the original's depth and texture for immediate impact.
