Alexandria Orientale Xerjoff 2018

I am sure you need to have smelled Oud fragrances before to not be put off by the animalistic Oud note at first. After that, a dreamy floral, fruity, slightly leathery scent develops, which then moves in a woody direction during the drydown. You have to keep smelling it once you've applied a test spray on the back of your hand. Fortunately, I was able to secure a 50 ml bottle. A great upgrade to Alexandria 2, unfortunately just difficult to obtain.
