Xerjoff Alexandria Imperiale is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Chris Maurice. Alexandria Imperiale opens with Rose, Lavender, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Woody Notes, Leather, and Cedar, and dries down to a base of Cambodian Oud, Indian Oud, Musk, and Amber. Xerjoff's Alexandria Imperiale carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This takes the beloved Alexandria DNA and cranks up the oud, resulting in a more refined, masculine take that's equally adored and debated. Expect a beastly scent that demands attention.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

With its enormous sillage and eternal longevity, this is not one for the office, where it would overwhelm. It excels in formal settings and intimate date nights, where its luxurious and bold character can truly shine. Some even suggest it as a club scent, but with a light hand.

About

A commanding opening of warm cardamom and a subtle hint of rose immediately gives way to a richly textured heart where deep woody notes, smooth leather, and the earthy spice of cypriol oil converge. The dry down is an intoxicating journey into a complex oud accord, blending Cambodian and Indian varieties, softened by creamy vanilla, amber, and musks. It's a scent that evolves beautifully, revealing layers of sophisticated warmth.
