More herbal, less sweet Alex II
Has part of the original Alex II DNA, a lightly medicinal agarwood and a crisp green apple top, but it replaces the soapy lavender and sweet cinnamon with a fresh basil plus faint incense. It's slightly "oudier," more sour, but to a pretty marginal degree in the air IMO. The green apple still pops from my skin, and combined with the basil this one comes across much more green. Alex II with an herbal twist. Strong projection for 2-3hr, longevity 12hr+ as a dry basil skin scent.
While I do love basil, lavender and cinnamon are two of my personal favorite notes so this doesn't surpass the original to me. I would also say the original is more versatile because it's overall fresher, with the added soapiness plus more subdued oud.
