Dirty Orange

This scent is truly magical! Not sure how it stands up to the Creed original, but I love this. So far my favorite Alexandria fragrance. As a woman, I cannot see myself wearing this out, but I love to wear it at home alone or spray it on my pillow cases and sheets. Makes my entire bedroom smell amazing! I would love to smell this on a man. As far as the scent? The name Dirty Orange is perfectly accurate. The mix of neroli, bergamot, grapefruit, lemon and ambergris is just right. It projects well and the longevity is surprising for a citrus fragrance. 12 or more hours, and my room still smells of sexy orange.

This is a tart citrus juice with nice longevity and sillage. This is a nice quality fragrance from start to finish. Bergamot, grapefruit and neroli off the top blended amazingly. The ambergris dry down is top notch. This is a stunner for sure. For the price and due to the similarities with Creed's Neroli Sauvage I say this is a clear winner. Enjoy!

I’ve don’t have a sample of Creed’s Neroli Sauvage at hand, so I’m judging this fragrance purely on its own merits. Opens with a sharply assertive blast of unadorned citrus that’s almost abrasive in its raw freshness. The orange accord is a well blended composition of grapefruit, bergamot and neroli, backed by lemon verbena. It’s exceptionally refreshing and awakening, with fairly good sillage until dry down, when the citrus top notes begin to nestle into the ambergris base. It’s a very simple fragrance but done with finesse, the blending and quality are evident. I’d reach for this on a hot sleepy, summer morning and imagine it would brush away the cobwebs of slumber faster than a triple espresso! Like many of AF’s offerings it’s great value, as good as or better than many fragrances two or three times the price.

Overall, very good fragrance for the cost. It does not stand up to the OG in quality...also maybe about 75/80% close. Saying that is not a knock on Dirty Orange at all...because it is very nice spring/summer option. Opens with a refreshing citrus blast that shows you where it’s going...ultimately a neroli/lemon verbena combo with ambergris for depth. Longevity is above average....sillage is average. Very versatile...from fun in sun casual to dress it up business. I believe this will always have a place in my collection...regardless if I have the OG.

OK. I love citrus and orange type of scents. I read the great reviews all over the internet about this one and blind purchased a big bottle. It is a fine frag but I don't think I can wear it as a woman bc of the aftershave vibe. It smells WAY too masculine. I don't understand how any woman can get away with this strong men's cologne.
