Ibraq

Apparently this perfume has been reformulated, and is now heavily inspired by Alexandria II. Unfortunately I haven't tried it "pre-reforumulation", but I can confirm that it is very similar to Alexandria II, definitely a lot more wearable and daily-able than alexandria II.

If you're not familiar with Alexandria II, then this perfume is a woody, slightly sweet, and slightly spicy. You can definitely pick up the notes from the actual Ibraq site. This is more suited towards a colder environment, so definitely do NOT spray on a hot summer day. Otherwise you'll smell like straight spices.

Longevity is solid, 7-8 working hours. Projection is moderate. Smell may not be the most mass-appealing, but wear your perfumes for you only !! (while being mindful of others around you pls)

This fragrance is one of my top three, I didn't have to think long about it. It smells very oriental, but don't be put off, definitely not like what you might be used to. You can smell the oud, vanilla & floral notes. Definitely on the men's fragrance side. It is supposed to be a dupe of Alexandria II, but unfortunately, I have only smelled the Special Edition version, which unfortunately had nothing to do with it. Considering the price-performance ratio, it's also very, very affordable (20-30€). I got my falcon from Saudi Arabia, unfortunately, it is not yet sold in Germany. Definitely special! It will appeal to many people. It lasts about 5-6 hours on the skin.
