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!

I am a little biased when it comes to Rose Alexandrie. It doesn't last long and it is not as complex as the other Prive perfumes, BUT, it is perhaps the most special one for me. I I wear this to bed every night- it soothes my mind. It is also a great fragrance to layer with other more intense perfumes to take off the edge. I have layered this with Mancera's Roses Vanille and it adds a new dimension to an otherwise 'sweet' perfume.

Delicate, elegant, gentle and independent. Like a tiny diamond necklace. Fresh, a bit citrus with a trace of rose flower. The original perfume lasts very long, untill you take the shower and wash your hair very good^^ One of my favourite perfumes. People notice the luxury of the smell and ask about it. And when I occasionally wear jeans and men-like сlassic shirts and this perfume... People are getting really confused^^

Rose Alexandrie was a pleasant surprise. It's fresh at the same time warm and inviting. It has a projection out if this world. I got compliments on this as well. It will lift your mood and demand respect from those you are around. 8 out of 10 rating. Very good Frangrance. Not for the young at heart. Got to have confidence to pull this off. I do and I love it!!!

Rating - Amusement This is very lush, slightly metallic floral scent. It's very full bodied yet airy too. I can easily say that it smells like better Lady Million. I would prefer this one to LM. Staying power is pretty well, the price isn't. It's very expensive -.- It's very likeable and fun, but not too original.

it's very subtle to me, yet i get compliments from people a couple feet away from me ??? i enjoy this fragrance a lot, it's elegant, like a crisp glass of white wine. i love neroli, it's one of my favorite notes! rose alexandrie is very neroli forward, it's beautiful!

This is my signature scent! Rose Alexandrie is the perfect blend of fresh and floral. The citrus notes brighten up the rose beautifully, making it feel modern and not at all overpowering. I get compliments on this perfume constantly.

I'm usually a gourmand lover. I love fragrances with vanilla...but I also love rose done right. And this is rose done right, there is a juicy quality about this fragrance that I love.

I love this fragrance! This is dominantly rose from the opening into the drydown. I also pick up a mimosa scent! Everybody should go smell it!

Love this fragrance but always wear with a stronger parfum as an enhancer. My favorite fragrance to pair with is Rose d'Arabie.

Rose d'Alexandrie is a bright, fresh citrus-rose scent, elegant if unexciting. It is clean and soapy, pleasant throughout, never harsh and nicely-balanced, but linear overall. RA opens with Earl Grey-like bergamot, tart and fresh, followed closely by sheer, dewy rose. Clean neroli is a logical development of the citrus of the opening, becoming quite prominent as this scent develops, complementing the rose nicely. Mimosa adds some powdery sweetness to the background, but is barely detectable. It becomes a musky citrus-rose skin scent after a little while. Sillage and longevity are moderate. It is soapy without being aldehydic - reminiscent of fancy rose-scented bars of soap. Fresh, pleasant and good-quality, RA is an inoffensive spring/summer feminine scent that is decent yet entirely unmemorable. 3/5.

This is one of my favourite summer / hot weather perfumes. I love how fresh and airy it is, yet still slightly sweet and sophisticated. Its a very beautiful scent. Its soft and florally. To me it smells like sweet rose with other soft white florals combined. Hint of freshness but not at all too citrussy in my opinion. I think it is very girly and classy. One downside is that it doesn't stay very long as it is a very soft fragrance, which is a shame since it is an expensive perfume... However I do still get whiffs of it throughout the day and compliments from people. It is not a complex perfume, very simple and wearable at all times. Overal love the scent and so easy to wear ! It reminds me of all my summer memories.

A lot of reviewers are stating there’s no rose here — I’m thinking that’s people who are used to wearing rose. I, who have a really hard time with rose and avoid it, clearly sense it in Rose Alexandrie. It’s the only rose scent that I own and like, likely because it’s so subtle. Fresh, citrusy and light, but still exclusive. Most importantly, not sweet. A great compliment to heavier scents in my collection. Also, not bad when layered with leather frags.

I really wanted this to be more powerful. I believe it’s neroli that can make this a little bit boring for some people, but I enjoy that note. This note is most prominent. The protection is minimal, and it lasts about 3 to 4 hours. I tend to layer her now when I wear Dior Ambre Nuit. That rose on rose amplification with the mimosa helps add water and lightness to the dryer fragrance and allows me to wear Ambre Nuit in the Spring and the cooler months.

Beautiful! The opening is a warm, sweet floral with a juicy quality to it. The juiciness dies down and the rose and Mimose become a lovely very close to the skin fragrance. Unfortunately this doesn't last very long on me and has a very low sillage. A quiet, demure, but joyful fragrance. The Prive collection is available at Neiman Marcus downtown Chicago. (The rep was so helpful, knowledgeable, and generous!)

Non sono un'amante della rosa, né dei fioriti in generale, forse l'unico che mi ha colpito é stato Diorissimo con la freschezza del mughetto e un sillage estremamente elegante e sottile, usato anche per anni da mia mamma. Ma questo di Armani Privé é trasparente, fresco, come una pioggia di rugiada al mattino presto. Pur essendo molto persistente.
