This blind buy didn't hurt for once.
Normally you always hear that you should test such fragrances first. I totally agree with that. Nevertheless, I couldn't resist half a year ago and had to buy it because of a good offer.
I had already tested the Alexandra II and the Alexandria III and thought they were both really good. But not so good that I would buy them.
When the fragrance finally arrived after several weeks and a few logistical problems, I was surprised that I could smell it even before opening the familiar Xerjoff box. So I sniffed the bottle and, to be honest, had to get to grips with the fragrance first. It smelled a bit stale and actually a lot more so than its brothers.
To really test the fragrance, I sprayed some on the back of my hand. The first few minutes were very different to what I had expected. It had the very familiar Alexandria DNA, but still seemed much more grown-up and edgy. As it progressed, he finally picked me up. The light stable suddenly became creamy and enveloped the rose and apple. Something of the slightly animalic oud could still be felt.
That evening I went out for dinner and decided to wear it. I only used two sprays and the scent was still very present. It even sparked a nice conversation at the table about perfume, as it really stands out.
It really is very unusual, but although I haven't tried it, it should be tested beforehand because some people around me don't get on with this somewhat stale note. For those who do, it's worth every penny.
