Perfection of Perfection

Alex II is considered by many to be the nearly perfect fragrance. To be honest, it felt a bit too “old” for me to wear.
This is exactly where the Burdèl comes in. In the opening, you get a beautiful citrus note, while in the background you can already clearly sense an Alexandrian breeze wafting around your nose.
The first impression immediately captivates me.
Gradually, the citrus recedes and the woody-spicy, slightly sweet notes come more and more to the forefront.
Overall, it remains a bit fresher and lighter than Alexandria II. This fact makes it more wearable for me and (I’ll call it this) “younger.”
An incredibly exciting, special, and alluring fragrance.
To quote FlavioAurel, “Summer over Alexandria.”

If Tiziana Terenzi were not behind the Burdèl, the fragrance would probably be predominantly referred to as a dupe.
So we will kindly leave it as a tribute to perfection.

Maltek, I totally agree with you. I sold my Alex II because of the hairspray smell, and now I have a Burdél sample. At first, it was too similar to A II for me, but in the dry down, it’s much nicer and spicier. Xerjoff lingers like hairspray for hours... Terenzi gets better and smells more complex. A hit from TT, I’m definitely buying it.
