The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018, Alexandria Orientale by Xerjoff is an Oriental Woody fragrance created by perfumer Chris Maurice. The composition opens with the fresh spiciness of basil and coriander, punctuated by green apple's crisp bite. The heart blends Bulgarian rose and Italian orris root for a floral warmth that cuts through the incense and tobacco leaf notes, while the base offers a rich blend of oud, sandalwood, and amber, grounded by leather and musk.
This fragrance benefits from a deliberate application — aim for two to three sprays on pulse points. The fresh spicy top notes are quick to dissipate, but the rich base notes take about an hour to fully bloom and will last through the evening.
