Strong contender
FragDNA score · on paper
The review
Alexander The Great scores 7.0 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Alexandria II.
Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Alexandria II's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $110 per 100ml it costs 86% less than Alexandria II — the 5th cheapest of 7 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Alexandria Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Xerjoff Alexandria II is palisander rosewood, lavender and apple at first, rose, cedar and lily of the valley at its heart and agarwood (oud), sandalwood and amber at the end. Alexandria Fragrances set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- palisander rosewood
- lavender
