The review
On paper, Pharaoh II is a strong bet if you want Alexandria II for less.
Chez Pierre 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 $78 per 100ml it costs 90% less than Alexandria II — the 2nd cheapest of 7 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Chez Pierre 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
The original opens on palisander rosewood, lavender and apple, turns to rose, cedar and lily of the valley, and settles into agarwood (oud), sandalwood and amber. That is the brief Pharaoh II is working from.
Top
- palisander rosewood
- lavender
- apple
Heart
- rose
- cedar
- lily of the valley
Base
- agarwood (oud)
- sandalwood
- amber
For the one who wears heritage like a crown, weaving warm amber, oud and spice into an aura of unhurried opulence.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 9 twins of Xerjoff Alexandria II we can price, Pharaoh II is number 2 on price per 100ml.
