Very helpful Review 14  
I had to have it and then it was gone.
You are already a top fragrance.
I don't know what to do with you, as your H/S is cheeky.

I gladly laid down the €235 for the Gritti in the store.
I like this slightly medicinal aspect at the beginning, and the comparison to Alex2 is there when the fragrance moves towards DD.

I had simply hoped, based on the reviews here, that I would catch a fragrance similar to Alex2, but not one that radiates so incredibly like Alex2 does.
I would say: I wanted an "All Day Alexandria2".

In two sentences, I mentioned Alexandria 2 about 20 times, but the similarity is just undeniable.
The milk that is listed in the notes of Gritti makes the subtle difference in my eyes, and the musk at the end is not so overwhelming.

Thus, we have a great foundation for the colder days, a fragrance that one can feel comfortable with. Moreover, for those who are not into perfumes ;) it smells quite special.

A day after the purchase, the first real test should follow.
And after TWO hours, the absolute disillusionment:
WHERE IS IT?
I can't say if it's nose-blind or something.
I feel like I've never had the problem with a fragrance that I become nose-blind.
I simply did not perceive it at all, zero, nada.
Even the really generous sprays on my arms did not produce the hoped-for "miracle".
*If anyone has had different experiences - very good.
I can only speak for myself and my surroundings, the fragrance was only close to the skin after 2 hours.
After 3-4 hours, it was gone.
I also believe that it can certainly mature further, and in 3-6 months, everything might look different.
I have already been positively surprised before.
I just didn't have the patience this time.

As mentioned, I didn't want a fragrance that lasts 8 days and radiates like anything else.
But if it doesn't even last half a day, then the money is poorly invested for me.

I am only evaluating the fragrance here; whether it is copied or inspired does not matter, as the fragrance is a TEN for me.
Everything that follows as a parameter is insufficient.
Although the packaging/bottle is also great.
Beyond the Wall - Behind the Wall or Beyond the Wall:
I took a look behind it, but unfortunately, longevity and sillage are not hiding there either.

In conclusion, I would like to say:
I hope I made another Parfumo happy with the sale, far below NP :)
I mean that very seriously :)
Gritti moved out, Alex2 moved in, and I am more than satisfied, even if it happened through small detours.
After all, I was able to support a local perfumery :))

Back-Standers
There are the front-standers, who are easily and readily grabbed, whose levels clearly drop … and then there are those that have to stand in the back and always in the dark.
When things are rearranged, they are happy to be moved a bit, but if they are as slim as this beautiful bottle, they will just be squeezed back in somewhere there is space.
Well, that’s how it has been for my bottle, which last week actually made its way to the front as a “front-stander.”
Why?
Because it was worn again and brought in 3 compliments.
In one day!!!
One of them at the hairdresser … unbelievable, right? Where the air is just filled with scent molecules … hair care products smell simply phenomenal.

About the scent:
I don’t know any other fragrance that combines milk, iris, and tea so skillfully and harmoniously.
Milk is a bit tricky for me, as it makes me feel nauseous when I smell it. A good example: Bianco Latte and Gioiosa. I find both quite creepy. Beyond the Wall is completely different. Milk makes the scent creamier but doesn’t overpower it.

Longevity:
On me, the scent lasts rock solid all day. If I spray it in the morning, I can still smell it on me in the evening. On clothes, it lasts even 3 days later.

Sillage:
The scent envelops you but doesn’t scream for attention.

A fragrance also has to emotionally “grab” me to become a favorite. This one has succeeded.
When I wear it, I feel well-groomed, balanced, and completely comfortable.

My appeal to everyone:
Give the “back-standers” a chance!

In Love !!!
Such a beautiful fragrance.
I sprayed it on and it immediately blew me away.
A smooth, subtly spicy scent with a light sweetness.
The tea notes are very noticeable.
I don't perceive the ginger at all.
Everything is so beautifully balanced and soft.
I can confirm the drydown comparison with Alexandria 2.
But this fragrance is brighter and gentler. The soft version of Alexandria 2.
Definitely unisex. Super wearable for both sides. So this fragrance will definitely be a repurchase candidate for me.

Creamy Iris
A big surprise for me. I casually received a sample of this fragrance and what can I say except wow, this scent completely blew me away, it’s exactly my style. Longevity is unfortunately quite weak, sillage is very good for the first hour, after that the scent becomes very close to the skin.

The fragrance starts spicy but very creamy. It’s very hard to describe because I haven’t smelled anything similar. I detect a very gentle, very creamy spice, I’m guessing it’s the Artemisia, paired with a hint of black tea. Slowly, a very soft, almost powdery iris emerges, an iris that smells super soft and is a true feast for my nose. All the while, one of the most beautiful sandalwood notes I’ve ever smelled lies like a light veil over the other notes, making the scent slightly smoky from the very beginning. Not dark smoke, more like a very light smoke, like a soft white cloud. In the further drydown, one of my favorite notes, cardamom, comes through beautifully and ensures that my nose is glued to my wrist. The musk, which also becomes more present, is soft and very pleasant, almost milky.
Addendum: The scent is now in my collection. Unfortunately, I am very disappointed with the poor longevity, which is even worse than I remembered. The fact is that the scent has to be removed again due to the lack of performance.

A Little Dream

Beyond the Wall by Gritti is a truly extraordinary fragrance that has captivated me from the very beginning. In my opinion, it is an olfactory masterpiece that enchants at least "my" senses. One cannot deny a similarity to Alexandria II, but I find it a bit smoother.

The quality of the perfume is exceptional. I find the fragrance composition very complex and well-balanced, making it a real pleasure to wear.

As for longevity, "at least for me" ... very, very good 8-9 hours, and the sillage is about 4 to 5 hours. Up close, I can still perceive the scent even after 10-12 hours.

As I said, this is solely about my personal experience. But I do think that one should definitely give the fragrance a chance and treat oneself to a sample.

In this sense...........

Clearly inspired by XerJoff Alexandria II. This one has iris, black tea and no lavender or oud. Very creamy, spicy, powdery, sweet and woody

Oh my... Alexandria 2 done in a more youthful and more playful way. Unbelievably good. It really checks all the marks

Indeed, a take on Xerjoff's A2. I don't pick up on any oud. 80% dupe, less sillage, opening has hints of cola. Spring-fall, leans masculine.
0 Comments
A softer, lighter take on Alexandria II—pleasant but redundant, with no real innovation to justify the price.

This should fall under the Narcotics Act! This narcotic combination of iris and milk should only be administered by an anesthetist...zzzZ

Pleasantly dry and spicy iris scent with tea notes, you can also smell the violets well, a very refined and successful fragrance!
