The review
On paper, Eastern Defender is a strong bet if you want Alexandria Orientale for less.
Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Alexandria Orientale's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
At $122 per 100ml it costs 69% less than Alexandria Orientale — the 2nd cheapest of 2 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 Perfume Parlour 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 saffron, bergamot and cinnamon, turns to rose, jasmine and oud, and settles into amber, sandalwood and musk. That is the brief Eastern Defender is working from.
Top
- saffron
- bergamot
- cinnamon
Heart
- rose
- jasmine
- oud
Base
- amber
- sandalwood
- musk
Saffron-spiced rose and oud settling into a plush amber base.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 2 twins of Xerjoff Alexandria Orientale we can price, Eastern Defender is number 2 on price per 100ml.
- 01 Lattafa Bade'e Al Oud Amethyst $45/100ml
- 02 Perfume Parlour Eastern Defender $122/100ml
