Wasted Moment

Wasted Moment is a delicious masterpiece that will blow you away if you enjoy sweet, boozy scents. It opens with a warm, sweet, fruity accord consisting mostly apple and spices. The apple note is very prominent, and it’s rich, tart and slightly tangy. It’s also extremely boozy, which creates this hard cider effect and really reminds me of angry orchard. For the spices I get mostly cinnamon and nutmeg, this adds another dimension that gives the fragrance a warm and festive vibe. It’s interesting how none of these notes are listed, even though they are by far the most prominent to me, and the ones that are listed - woods and vanilla are more of a supporting backbone. As this fragrance develops with time, the apple slowly fades, but the scent is mostly very linear. This scent is extremely easy to wear and despite having more than a hundred different choices, I often find myself reaching for this one when I'm not sure what to rock and just want something cozy. I think that says a lot about how good this scent is especially at this affordable price point. Comparing this side by side with Apple Brandy by Kilian I have to say this doesn't really smell like the original. There's maybe a 60% similarity if I'm being generous. Sure they both have apple, spices, woods and spicy notes, but they are two very approaches to the same idea. Wasted Moment is no where near as spicy, rich and sophisticated as Apple Brandy and definitely has a more prominent sweet apple note and goes for a casual vibe instead. With that being said, this is an amazing scent and I think Alexandria should have released it as an original instead and out of the ones I've tried, this would be among the top of the pack without a doubt. Performance is decent, could be better but you can't really ask for much more at this price point.

This is BY FAR my favorite fragrance Alexandria has produced. I call it heaven in a bottle. Wasted Moment is surely NOT a waste of money. One of my all time fragrances is Apple Brandy by Kilian and I do have to say this is spot on 100% the same as Apple Brandy but Wasted Moment has better longevity. Wasted Moment has a beautiful, rich and boozy apple note with a perfect dose of vanilla and woods in the background. Longevity is stellar with this fragrance. I get about 10+ hours consistently every time I wear it. Silage is great also radiating about 6 ft for about 5-6 hrs everytime. Compliments galore when I wear Wasted Moment, 3-4 everytime I wear it. This is your best yet Hany. I'm totally addicted to this beautiful fragrance. Beautiful juice Hany, keep them coming my friend!!!

100% agree with Hotshot 35 with a minor variation. This does strongly remind me of Boss Bottled Oud. I have not smelled Boss Bottled EDP but can attest to Hotshot 35's comment about the green apple scent being exact. To be quite honest, Boss Bottled Oud didn't have oud so I'll take it as the same as the EDP version. The big takeaway for me is Wasted Moments is way better and formulated - IMO - than Boss Bottled Oud, which, I gave to my youngest son. Wasted Moments is far superior and not meant to clone Boss. Cannot speak to the closeness it resembles to its inspiration, however, I will keep this one for sure! Really love this one!

How is apple and brandy not listed in the ingredients here? I'm genuinely curious how they'd get such a strikingly real apple scent without any apple. What i get from this fragrance is sweet, over-ripened green apple with some woody brandy. A beautiful scent, and in my mind it's unisex with a very slight female leaning since the apple is just so deliciously sweet and prominent. Damn near identical to Kilian Apple Brandy, at least it's so close the distinction is difficult to make. This is a reliable dupe, as is Pomme Trempee by Dua. Cheaper and more accessible with reasonable performance.

This is an unreal scent. First and foremost, great interpretation of Apple Brandy By KIlian. When this opens up I get a very woody apple on my skin. I do not get any type of "dessert" feeling, however I realize everyones chemistry and nose is different :) The dry-down blew my mind. When this fragrance dries down, this incense rises to the very top and you now have an extremely refined smelling, woody, boozy, incense fragrance with wafts of apple. Absolutely breathtaking. I review many other Alexandira Fragrances in a video on my channel so feel free to stop by! ~6ixscentsofficial
