The review
On paper, Alexandria III is a strong bet if you want Alexandria III for less.
Palermo 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.
At $23 it costs 95% less than Alexandria III.
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 Palermo 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
The original opens on bergamot, saffron and nutmeg, turns to rose, jasmine and orris, and settles into agarwood (oud), amber and sandalwood. That is the brief Alexandria III is working from.
Top
- bergamot
- saffron
- nutmeg
Heart
- rose
- jasmine
- orris
Base
- agarwood (oud)
- amber
- sandalwood
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.
