Gave this stuff a full days wearing yesterday, figured I’d post a full review.

It’s definitely very sweet, first off. The tonka bean and vanilla really give it a hefty dose of sweetness. The iris/orris is really buttery and smooth, slightly powdery and lipsticky. The iris note in here comes off very similar to the oris in givenchy gentleman edp. It’s a fairly simple fragrance.

Now, the note isn’t listed, but i 10000% smell oud in the background, i would be shocked if there wasn’t any oud in this. It honestly ruins it a bit for me because I’m not a fan of the note. There’s an animalic/dirty smell to homme that you can really pick up after the first 10-15 minutes and it’s very apparent on the later dry down. I purchased this fragrance because it was one of the only ones he offers that doesn’t have the oud note, which I dont find to be true.

Performance is stellar, like all of Aaron’s work, 8+ hours on my skin no problem. Strong projection for the first 2-3 hours.

This to me, smells like a more grown-up version of Dior Homme intense, with much much much much better performance. I’ll be lucky if I get 30 minutes of performance from DHI, from uomo intense, I get a solid 7-9 hours with strong projection.

Opens up very bright and citrusy with a strong waxy iris right up at the front. Dries down to a beautiful iris, tonka and vanilla combo. Such an incredible fragrance.

I would recommend this any day over DHI. If you want to buy one of the dior homme fragrances, go with the parfum, that one has nuclear performance.

Gone is the overly sharp, headache enducing metallic, amboxen bomb opening…everything is slightly toned down and smoother. The staranise and nutmeg are nice additions and give the edp a more refined and mature smell. Overall, I’d recommend this anyday over the edt.

Very, very happy with my purchase.

Got a two ML sample of this. Saved me 500+ dollars. It was so powdery, medicinal and fecal it became suffocating and vomit-inducing after 20 minutes. Extremely disappointing considering the hype around this. I love oud fragrances, so this shocked me.

Picture a dirty, poop filled diaper with baby powder poured on top then sprayed with some lavender air freshener. That is what Alexandria II smells like.

Tuscan leather exudes masculinity and confidence. This is a fragrance like no other, you feel a certain type of way when you wear it. It’s provocative, powerful, masculine, slightly dirty and beautiful all at the same time. The first time i smelled TL, my whole body tingled and i got goosebumps.

Wouldn’t recommend this for younger men, this is a very mature fragrance for men 27+ with high levels of confidence. You have to wear tuscan leather, not the other way around. This will be a challenging fragrance for many, if you’re used to designer fragrances or more mass-appealing niche fragrances, you may not like this.

Starts off with a beautiful blast of raspberry and a rich, dark authentic leather…as it dries down the raspberry takes a bit of a back seat and the leather and smoky notes come front and center. Some suede sneaks in to smooth out the scent and you get almost a slight ashtray cent, but it’s not gross, it’s incredible. Do not spray this on clothes, smells like burnt cigarettes.

Finally, this dries down completely to a slightly sweet, creamy, beautiful raspberry leather smell that stays with you for 12+ hours.

No more than 3-4 sprays if you’re going to be indoors, for office settings stick to 2-3. This is not a fragrance you want to choke people out with nor to receive compliments with, though you may receive one here and there..this is a scent for yourself to enjoy and to make you feel confident. Current iterations of TL don’t contain the infamous “cocaine” smell of the original formulations which makes this much more wearable now.
