Valley Of The Kings

I've not yet had the pleasure of trying either Richwood or Coromandel, but whatever the comparisons, I can say this about Valley of the Kings: This stuff smells like MONEY. BUT... go easy on the sprayer, as it's quite potent and doesn't start out totally smooth. There is something a bit jarring about the patchouli in combination of the top notes that can be perceived as a bit chemical. Thankfully, it does pass, leaving in its wake a very nice balance between patchouli and a creamy sandalwood, backed by a lightly sweet vanilla musk. 20-30 minutes into the drydown, you may find yourself struttin' around like you own the place, even if you don't really own the place. ;) It's strong and it's opulent, but again, only if not oversprayed. A little goes a long way! Terrific quality to price ratio. One of my AF favs, along with Egyptian Angel and Golden Rush.

This is very very nice . Alexandria did a very good job copying Richwood. I bought the original 5 yrs ago and the big 120ml 2 yrs ago. They have been macerating and are very strong now. I have more than I’ll ever need. If anyone wants to buy my 55ml, it’s 90% full . $30 plus ship. US only. I’ll even add a few samples from my huge collection. Take a look and pick a few u want me to send u samples of. Any from my collection.

Similar to Richwood. However, it's like if you took most of the carbonation from Richwood and then left with a mostly flat scent. If one has the money, go for Richwood, in on a budget, VotK is just... fine. Scent: 8 Projection: 5 Longevity: 5 Value: 6

This opens with a nice patchouli explosion...similar to the OG and Chanel’s Coromandel. If you like patchouli, check this one out. Dry down brings forth a very nice creamy sandalwood. Vanilla note adds depth. Longevity is great...projection is average. Similar to Richwood, I find this redundant. I personally prefer Coromandel over Richwood...and the two are similar. Valley of the Kings gives you the patchouli explosion of Coromandel that AFs China Affair doesn’t...but the dry downs are close enough that makes this redundant. Get a sample of this and AFs China Affair to which you prefer.

This is a very nice quality juice that gets a solid thumbs up especially if you like Richwood by Xerjoff but not the price. The scent is a slightly tart citrus floral to my nose with a healthy dose of lemon and rose which turns into a subtle skin scent of sandalwood and musk. Overall a solid juice. Enjoy!
