Interplay Extrait

First bottle I bought was from someone selling their bottle on eBay, it is an absolutely lovely fragrance. My first bottle is running out though so I decided to buy two more (one for me and one for my mother) during their 4th of July sale. I ended up sending both bottles back. There was a putrid plastic smell in the fragrances, it was awful. I'm waiting to hear back because I asked them to check out the fragrances and see if it was a bad batch or something. Hope it was because this fragrance was solid. Edit: I received my two new bottles and they smell great, if you ever run into the same issue I had, just contact customer service. Another update: I bought a second bottle of nostalgia and sadly have come across the same issue I had with Interplay Extrait, compared to the first bottle which is great this second bottle smells terrible. I reached out to AF and told them about this ongoing issue, now for them to fix the problem and exchange the fragrance they want ME to pay the shipping costs? As I did with Interplay extrait, I will be sending them the new bottle along with a small sample of the original. This is getting out of hand, I bought Paris nights, forbidden plum (both smell great), and nostalgia (horrible) at the same time. There is no consistency and if they somehow mess up the fragrance even if you provide evidence of how their fragrances have variances and horrible harsh ones at that, you have to foot an extra bill for their mistakes. I will no longer be purchasing from this company.

BR540 Eau de Parfum | BR540 Extrait | Interplay Extrait 70% Dentist Office | 30% Dentist Office | 40% Dentist Office 30% Cotton Candy | 60% Cotton Candy | 40% Cotton Candy 00% Bitter Almond | 10% Bitter Almond | 20% Bitter Almond Interplay Extrait smells to me like a slightly fresher and nuttier and better blended version of the Extrait. In BR540 there is a clearer separation of the sweetness and the dentist office smell and usually I'll smell one without the other. Very rarely will I smell them together unless I put my nose to the sprayed area. In Interplay Extrait it's all one scent that I smell with all elements together, including the almond. It also feels more versatile than either of the BR540s, like I could wear this in the summer without choking people out (max temperature here is around 27C so it doesn't get very hot). Longevity: seems to last around 4 to 6 hours on my skin. Projection: Around arms length and has an airiness. Not a projection beast. Seems to leave a decent scent trail. Both BR540s smell higher quality but Interplay Extrait is a great cohesive scent on its own.

Great spillage and super long lasting. A good quality fragrance. The opening reminds me of instant crush but after testing this out for a few weeks it’s smells extremely similar to br540. Let it settle into your skin and it dries down to being practically the same. I was skeptical at first bc of the opening but when I put on the og after testing this my nose didn’t notice much of a difference or any at all. If you don’t want to splurge on the original this is a quality dupe. I layer it sometimes with outremer vanille which has a cotton candy note. Makes it more feminine and sweet. Sillage is good. Was complimented at the grocery store where masks are mandated. Everyone in line and cashier said I smelled good even though I couldn’t smell it on me as I had applied it many hours earlier. That’s is the same magic of the original. You may not smell it but others do from far away!

Hany, you got this on point! I agree with others that say this is closer to BR540 EDP that Extrait but that was the reason I bought this. I already own BR540 Extrait and wanted a lighter version that I could wear for everyday use and it’s exactly what I got with this. This is my first purchase from Alexandria Fragrances along with Fructus Virginis and I am so impressed with both of them. Love at first sniff. Currently debating to buy a 55ml bottle before it’s out of stock! Update: I have been wearing this for a few days now and the drydown turns masculine on my skin. This does not take away the love I have for this scent as it's still a love and I really admire what Hany has done here but I have now gifted this to my dad as he loved it as well, and I feel he wears it much better than I do.

Another great fragrance from Alex.. I been very impressed with this house thus far. I will be honest when I first sprayed it, i wasn't too sure. I was getting more of a leather note or something on first blast, but as it dries down, it just keeps getting better and better. I also like casino royal nights a lot as well from DUA, a rivaling company... However... Alex isn't as sweet, and a better value. So far it is my favorite clone of br540 out of the ones I have tried. 1. Interplay extrait 2. DUA royal nights 3. Parfums vintage sunset in heaven.
