Alexandria UK The Runway 45 is an Eau de Parfum. The Runway 45 opens with Lavender, Pink Pepper, Cardamom, and Juniper, settles into a heart of Angelica, Neroli, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Myrrh. Alexandria UK's The Runway 45 carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

The Runway 45 chases Amouage Reflection 45 Man's lavender-iris-incense architecture but plays it flatter and louder, with the aromatic lavender opening pushed harder and the powdery iris heart and resinous drydown wrapping up sooner than the notoriously long-legged original.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

This Extrait de Parfum opens on a bright, herbal lavender-and-juniper spark lifted by pink pepper, cardamom and clary sage, mirroring the opening act of Amouage Reflection 45 Man closely. The heart brings a powdery iris alongside neroli, jasmine and angelica, before settling into frankincense, myrrh, sandalwood, cedar and vetiver. Where the Amouage original is famous for a slow, majestic multi-hour unfolding and near-legendary projection, this version compresses the journey - the aromatic-powdery core reads well in the first few hours but the smoky, woody base fades faster and with less depth. A convincing silhouette of a genuinely complex niche fragrance at a fraction of the price, best suited to evening and formal wear, though collectors chasing the original's longevity will notice the gap.
