Xerjoff Alexandria II Parfum
Description
Xerjoff Alexandria II is a regal woody-oriental extrait built around aged Laotian oud, draped in rose, sandalwood and vanilla.
Composed by Chris Maurice for the Italian house Xerjoff and launched in 2012, Alexandria II opens with an unusual lavender-and-apple sparkle before settling into a deep, resinous agarwood heart. The only intended difference from the original Alexandria is the seasoning of the oud — here aged roughly five years — and reviewers consistently describe it as opulent, sophisticated, and commanding without ever turning aggressive.

- Floral — 25%

Translation: a rich, resinous woody base of real agarwood and sandalwood, lifted by a rosy floral heart and a sweet amber-vanilla glow, with just a whisper of lavender freshness and cinnamon spice.
