I was looking for you
I smelled Alexandria II for the first time a year ago. I knew immediately that I needed this fragrance. So I bought it.
After several months of intensive use, I knew I had to try all the fragrances in the Alexandria range! So off to Lubner in Hamburg.
I cautiously asked the saleswoman what the Alex Orientale was like. She said that the opening was characterized by animalic notes. A term that meant little to me so far, so my first real experience with strong oud. I sprayed it on my wrist and to be honest, the first thing I thought was: BAH! What the hell is that? The smell reminded me of my first time with a driver's license, when I drove through villages where the pasture was freshly turned. Disappointed, I left the store.
After some time (20-30 minutes) strolling through the town, I smelled my wrist again. I was practically frozen. This animalic scent from the beginning has transformed into something I can hardly describe. A DNA that seems almost regal to me. What I perceive is the green apple, light basil and incense and something "majestic" (the oud?).
At this point, I was hooked again... I want it! I need it!
Really a very strong, beautiful and well-rounded fragrance.
What also impressed me: I can still smell the fragrance after 24 hours. And it has turned into something fresh? Maybe from the iris? Speechless...
Then last week I discovered a good offer in the souk and now it has moved in.
Durability and sillage really good, but I also expect that at this price!
