Oriental Rose Avapari

I've tested pretty much all versions of Alexandria II.
"Alexandria II (perfume) | Xerjoff"
Alexandria II Anniversary
Alexandria Orientale
Alexandria II Pure Attar

The only thing missing is the Alexandria Imperiale, which I didn't get my hands on.

And of those, I like the Attar the best because it doesn't have the synthetic hairspray note that all the other spray versions have. I'm not sure whether this is due to the cheap alcohol.
It's also just richer overall. Nevertheless, it is also somewhat demanding and sometimes a little tiring.

The Oriental Rose is like a spray version of Alexandria II Attar. It starts directly with the soul of Alexandria without the unpleasant hairspray note. According to Avapari, extra high quality alcohol is also used. So a bit of a topsy-turvy world when its cheaper brother uses the premium alcohol.

The Oriental Rose then has a richer overall effect and is at the same time less tiring and demanding with the same sillage and lasting power.

For the small price, you also get a beautiful and high-quality solid bottle with heavy gold caps, embedded in high-quality white boxes. Dua Fragrances could take a leaf out of their book, even with the now more beautiful bottles and caps.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has previously reviewed the fragrance and thus introduced me to the brand.
