Alexandria Orientale

by Chris Maurice

Xerjoff Alexandria Orientale is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Chris Maurice. Alexandria Orientale opens with Basil, Apple, Leather, and Incense, and settles into a heart of Orris, Rose, Cedar, and Coriander. Xerjoff's Alexandria Orientale carries an Acquired verdict, a oud-led wear.

This one is a properly divisive beast. Alexandria Orientale promises a rich, complex oud but delivers a challenging opening that will either turn heads or turn stomachs. Not for the faint-hearted, it’s a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with little room for indifference.

About

Bold and unapologetic, Alexandria Orientale opens with a punchy blend of fresh basil and crisp apple, immediately followed by the prominent assertiveness of oud and a deep, leathery embrace. As it settles, rose and orris emerge, adding a touch of powdery elegance, while a woody, incense-laden base anchors the scent, rounded out by hints of spiced tobacco.
