Xerjoff Alexandria II Anniversary is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024. Alexandria II Anniversary opens with Rose, Lavender, Cardamom, and Cumin, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Amber, Oud, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Xerjoff's Alexandria II Anniversary carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a true love-it-or-hate-it beast. If you're a fan of the original Alexandria II, prepare for an amped-up, more animalic ride that's not for the faint of heart. Critics call it challenging, but fans praise its opulent, luxurious depth.

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

Opens with an intriguing, almost overwhelming mix of aromatic lavender, subtle rose, and a spicy hit of cardamom and cumin. This quickly transitions into a rich, powdery heart where animalic oud and civet dominate, softened by earthy orris and fresh mint. The drydown settles into a warm, creamy embrace of sandalwood, musk, and a touch of unsweetened vanilla.
