Interplay

this is the only alexandria clone i own that i like but i still like Casino Royale more. Longevity is ok (4-5 hours on skin, 6-7 on clothes) it's a lot like BR540, this is a little more balsamic than Casino Royale so it's slightly different but in the air they smell the same (along with BR540) Overall though I'm giving up on Alexandria Fragrances, I've purchased 3 bottles (received one for free so i have 4) and only 1 of them (this one) i actually enjoy but not that much. Dunno how they get these ppl that are so enthusiastic about these fragrances like it's changing the world. The prob is consistency, every time i just let them sit for a bit they change; also they are "Parfum Extrait" which is kind of bs considering the longevity in all of them that i own is about 5 hrs on skin. They aren't really blended very well either it's kind of the same beef I have with Armaf although Alexandria isn't quite as synthetically harsh I don't put this brand very high. If you are buying Interplay or Interplay Extrait you'll be satisfied; outside of that I mean you are probably gonna waste money imo and i'm not trying to be mean or hateful but I just don't think this clone house is worth the time it takes to navigate the site.

I’m a big fan of MFK BR540 on my wife while I wear it once in awhile for a change of pace. Both my wife and I did a few days wearing this and 540 on different hands for a side-by-side comparison. Both my wife and I are extremely happy with how close Interplay resembles 540. It was close enough smelling on the hand, and even closer with the “aura” it gives off. Longevity for Interplay was 8/9 hours for each of us. Projection was pretty good for first couple of hours and still had a good scent bubble later in the day. I have had mixed results with the clone companies (Alexandria and DUA). With Interplay, both my wife and I are very happy. It is so close IMHO, I would not have a problem spraying this over 540 later in the day (although not necessary because 540’s longevity is legendary). Find someone that can get you a sample before purchasing, but for my wife and I, this is an easy purchase and I’m happy with the blind buy experiment. Alexandria doesn’t do it all the time, but they nailed this one.

I understand this is an interpretation of Baccart Rouge 540 by MFK. That being said, I have not sampled BR540 so I can not compare, to my nose this is a nice sweet scent that starts of rather... poopish lol. I know that this does contain Ambergris and to my nose it smells like LEGIT Ambergris... it's rather sea salt or sea water and poop like smell... honestly it isn't that bad... but after 45 minutes it disappears and leaves a very nice skin scent of sweet cotton candy vibe. Overall it's a slight thumbs up. Glad I got a sample. Try before you buy unless you are a BR 540 fan.

attention- this is NOTHING like MFK! This is soooo much nicer and different vibe... and maybe its because im now wearing it for the first time but it is incredible!!! Took me totally by surprise although it shouldnt have considering how good alexandria has been. I recently wrote another review, and like then, i find it amazing that this brand more than any others compels me to write when i hate writing lol! I love omerta too which ive just tried and have just ordered 10 different others.. keep up the good work!

This is as advertised, an interpretation of MFK 540. It’s very close to the edp version. I have the 540 extrait, which I wear frequently, and have samples of the edp, so I can attest that Hany did an excellent job putting this together. Save some bucks and grab this if you like MFK 540. Give it a few minutes after application to settle, then smell the magic. This smells great and, just like a whole bunch of their fragrances, it outperforms its price point. This is a must have if you are fond of ambergris.
