Xerjoff Alexandria III is a Parfum launched in 2019, created by Chris Maurice. Alexandria III opens with Rosewood, Lavender, and Cinnamon, settles into a heart of Cedar, Rose, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Oud. Xerjoff's Alexandria III carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

Alexandria III is a deeply polarising oud-rose that improves on its predecessor for some, while others view it as a total misstep. Expect a loud, luxurious scent that demands attention - just be sure you actually like it first.

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a surprising powdery lavender and the warm spice of cinnamon, quickly ushering in a heart of rich rose and velvety cedar. The true character unfolds in the base, where creamy sandalwood and sweet vanilla blend seamlessly with deep, complex oud, amber, and a touch of musk. It's a smooth, dense, and sophisticated experience with a noticeable powdery facet throughout.
