The review
Open Mind scores 7.5 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Alexandria III.
HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Alexandria III's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
At $89 per 100ml it costs 82% less than Alexandria III — the 2nd cheapest of 4 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength HK Perfumes 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 III is bergamot, saffron and nutmeg at first, rose, jasmine and orris at its heart and agarwood (oud), amber and sandalwood at the end. HK Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- bergamot
- saffron
- nutmeg
Heart

Base

A palatial rose-and-oud extravagance dripping with saffron, amber and precious woods.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
