Alexandria II Anniversary

XerJoff

Why even release this?

This review will sound more negative than I actually am about "Alexandria II Anniversary | XerJoff" (A2A). Also, a disclaimer: I wear the original "Alexandria II (Parfum) | XerJoff" (A2) as a signature and have been for a couple years now....

bdk Parfums

About as French as a supermall baguette

The downfall of BDK as a brand needs to be covered with an in-depth video, because this brand continues to alienate the few fans they have left. After the successful come-up off the back of YouTube's perfume godmother Demi...

Emanuele - Pana Dora - 23 hours ago

8
Bottle 8
Sillage 8
Longevity 6
Scent

Definitely inspired by Delina EDP. Smooth at first, but then starts to go more synthetic - white florals in the base to give it strong lift.

Swedish Leather - Pana Dora - 2 days ago

8
Bottle 6
Sillage 8
Longevity 7
Scent

Opens woody-aromatic (hints of Fan Your Flames). Evolves complex smoky-barbeque leather w/ an oriental feel. Kind-of lacks wearability.

Dux Orientis - Pana Dora - 3 days ago

8
Bottle 7
Sillage 8
Longevity 4
Scent

Blast of ambroxan (synthetic) & tropical fruits in the open. On-skin it's a bit chocolatey & a bit oudy, but not in the air. Bad execution.

La couche du diable - Serge Lutens - 4 days ago

6
Bottle 5
Sillage 7
Longevity 7.5
Scent

Opening felt like medicinal amber & rose. Quickly turns into a complex resinous-smoky oud (reminds me of Amouage's King Blue). Fall-winter.

Fils de joie - Serge Lutens - 5 days ago

6
Bottle 6
Sillage 9
Longevity 4
Scent

Opens bubblegum/sweet yellow floral. The drydown features a prominent patchouli, making for a spicy-vegetal scent with floral nuances.

Darley - Parfums de Marly - 6 days ago

8
Bottle 4
Sillage 5
Longevity 6
Scent

Sweet, fresh, fresh spicy masc aromatic: lavender & mint w/ the patchouli adding spice & tonka/amber for sweetness. Bad performance for PDM.

Dent de Lait - Serge Lutens - 7 days ago

6
Bottle 2
Sillage 5
Longevity 4.5
Scent

No idea what those notes/accords are. Opens fem, floral-powdery-fresh. Dries chypre-esque (spicy-floral-soapy) & a bit sweet, I spot orris.

Périlleusement Vôtre - Serge Lutens - 8 days ago

6
Bottle 7
Sillage 7
Longevity 7.5
Scent

Quite generic rose-oud. Opens like Mana (Nishane) and then fades into light woods with a flair of rose. Feels less complex than its comps.

L'Eau Froide - Serge Lutens - 9 days ago

6
Bottle 3
Sillage 5
Longevity 4.5
Scent

Fresh-spicy-green and maybe aquatic. Bizarre mildly edible feel in the open, general profile very comparable to a less intense "Lineage".

Bornéo 1834 - Serge Lutens - 9 days ago

6
Bottle 3
Sillage 5
Longevity 8
Scent

Smells like chocolate mixed with Royal Oud and/or Fille en Aiguilles. Very smooth, thinking spring-fall date night for a man in his 30s.
