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.

Awesome opening lack luster dry down

We find here a confusing conundrum, on one hand the initial opening is sublime I detected a spicy earthy dark aged tobacco note that was not sweet at all melded perfectly with a semi funky spicy coriander infused oud note, now we get to the interesting part, in the mid a juicy green apple basil accord can be clearly detected , but alas it is only present for a brief time then goes away completely, the dry down is 95% pure Alex II so all in all great start and mid with a disappointing finnish.
