My Full Fragrance Review:
In the world of luxury fragrances reigns the Italian house Xerjoff as a symbol of opulence. I’m taking a close look at their absolute premium offering, the Oud Stars line, specifically, a distinguished player within that line – Alexandria III. Just so we’re clear, any review of a Xerjoff fragrance presupposes an understanding of luxury, along with a readiness to invest. If you appreciate fragrances like Reflection Man by Amouage, then strap in, because this opinion piece might be right up your alley. So, is Alexandria III worth its hefty price tag? Let’s find out.
Quick Facts:
Smell:
Alexandria III plays a beautiful symphony with its signature Oud-Rose combination. Now, you might think, “oh, another oud-rose blend,” but believe me, this one is worth noting. Alexandria III does it just right, achieving a perfect balance without leaning too heavily on either the rose or the oud. It’s a testament to the mastery of blend that Xerjoff is renowned for.
Surprisingly, it wafts with a slight freshness, a departure from the denser, heavier aura of its predecessor, Alexandria II. Thanks to this, it’s a relatively light contender in the oud-based perfume arena, giving it versatility that extends to year-round wearability—just maybe not on those scorching summer days.
I’d say this is a unisex perfume, best fitting on a sophisticated man living amidst the hustle of a big city. It isn’t a scent for everyone and may not resonate with the typical blue-collar guy. If you have royal blood flowing in your veins, or if you frequently don a tailor-made suit, or work in the fashion industry, Alexandria III might just be your perfect fragrance. It’s a perfume for all occasions—office, dating, nightlife, provided you’re the right man for it.
Longevity:
Looking for a great performer? A long-lasting scent with good projection? Look no further. Alexandria III checks all those boxes and then some. I’ve seldom come across an oud-based perfume that falls short in performance, and I’m happy to report that Alexandria III doesn’t break that trend.
