Rose Alexandrie

My signature scent. One day i was walking down the store, in a mood to try some exclusive fragrances. I tried the private collection of Tom Ford, Maison Dior, even Givenchy private collection. And then I came across the counter of the Armani Prive collection. I immediately saw the name Rose Alexandrie which stood out to me (being originally Egyptian, but from Cairo). So I smelled it... This was love at first sniff! I smelled a lovely citrusy rose. Absolutely beautiful. Very elegant and classic. The only downside is the sillage and longevity. I bought this for nearly 150 euros and I have already used up 4 bottles. But the sillage is poor: you can smell it for 5 minutes and then it is not very noticeable to others unless you come close to that person. After an hour or 3 it is almost completely faded. Nevertheless, this fragrance is still absolutely the most beautiful scent I have ever smelled. The scent itself is worth 150 euros for sure! And I will keep repurchasing this again and again. If they would only reformulate this to make the performance better... Then I would never in my life buy any other perfumes again. I will wear this day and night, every day, every time of the year. I cannot describe how much I love this perfume! Everyone should go smell it!!

I purchased my bottle in the middle of hot summer and wasn’t impressed, it reminded me of something vintage neroli like scent so I put it aside and listed to sell. Today I sold it and smelled right before I packed it and was a bit regretful if selling it. The beautiful honeyed neroli and light soft rose. I can really smell honey in here and I wonder if it might be the effect mimosa doing here. It’s beautiful and classy scent. If you ever tried Fleur Narcotique by Ex Nihilo, this is almost better to me and much less talked about. Anyways it’s absolutely beautiful and I kind of feel horrible and regretful for selling it now. Lesson learned out of this, is give the fragrance to rest after receiving it, let it cool and adjust in room temperature, try in different seasons. This one sounds absolutely gorgeous for transitioning from summer to fall. The sillage is where this fragrance whole beauty at.

I love Rose D'Arabie and thought this would be a more suitable choice for office / daywear. It is a very soft, fruity easy to wear rose - slightly sweet on opening but this quickly fades. Each note is easily identifiable - neroli appears first in a burst of bergamot and tangerine (I detect lemon also?) - the mimosa then appears followed by soft rose. The notes complement each other well & the quality of the ingredients are apparent. The only issue I have is the longevity - after a few hrs I can barely detect it. It wouldn't be an issue if the cost reflected this but for such an expensive scent I would expect better.

i am not one for rose scents at all. i didnt even want to smell this one. but the lady at the giorgio armani had me sniff this one. and WOW! This is trully beautiful. This scent represents a very put together woman. Yet any woman could wear this. It is somewhat transparent, but not in strength or silliage. it had a "shiny flower" quality that i love. if you ever get around to getting the privelege of sniffing this, please do and write a review! i am not very great at reviewing scents, so i would like to read someone's review that can describe this scent's beauty...

Rose Alexandrie by Giorgio Armani is a bright citrusy rose! I got this in a swap and I’m not a big fan of mimosa so I was not sure I how I would like it, but fortunately neroli wins out here! Neroli is a bitter slightly green orange scent that is sweetened up by a juicy mandarin orange note in this fragrance. Zesty bergamot keeping things bubbly and fresh with the mimosa complimenting the rose making it sweeter and less floral. A lovely sweet spring/summer fragrance for women!
