Alexandria III by Kostas Harrods Exclusive

I completely disagree with the first reviewer who stated that this fragrance is no different from Alexandria II. The two are very different, right from the opening - this one a bit sharper, much more floral in that first stage, as opposed to the very smooth, slightly creamy, suede-like quality of the original, where the woods and lavender predominate. Both are beautiful fragrances, and Xerjoff is quickly becoming my ultimate favorite brand. The rose in this one is very pronounced, and I love that. It's just a completely different take on Alexandria. The presentation - out there and amazing. I purchased it without testing because after falling in love with Alexandria II and finally getting my hands on Alexandria Imperiale, I knew I would be crazy to pass on this limited release. It's perfectly unisex, very different from the other two, and a true masterpiece.

GORGEOUS! The best word to summarize this perfume. As a floral oriental, the rose notes are perfectly balanced against the woodier notes and the muguet creates a perfect bridge between the aromatic and fresh top notes and the spicier base notes . The balance between the Laotian and the Thai ouds is very well executed. It is costly? Unequivocally yes. Is it worth it? That's for you to decide after you've tried on your skin (paper strips does not allow the perfume's true nature to manufest). Note that this is a limited and numbered edition so if you want it (or want to try it), be quick because these bottles will not last, price notwithstanding.

A gorgeous Floriental from Xerjoff, and yes a bit of an overindulgent luxury given its gorgeous bottle limited edition, this is a beautiful fragrance offering from Xerjoff. This is not Alexandria II repackaged. The perfume is different as the florals are more pronounced in this perfume compared to the other Alexandrias. The perfume begins on aromatic woody notes of rosewood, cinnamon and lavender. The heart is comprised of a beautiful Bulgarian Rose, Lily of the valley, and cedar. The perfume settles on a bed of a blend of Laotian and Thai Oud, surrounded by agarwood, surrounded by amber, vanilla and sandalwood. The perfume leans unisex (slight feminine) and has tremendous projection and sillage and very very good longevity. Recommended if you are a Xerjoff completist. Enjoy!

Alexandria III is bad guys Ok guys. I saw the videos. Checked the hype. Here is the bottomline: Alexandria III is the base of Alexandria II plus the addition of Wardasina open notes as middle notes. Basically Wardasina drying down to Alexandria II plus faint rose. The result is not good. They ruined Alexandria II Xerjoff is basically combining their scents to create a new “flanker” then making it sound like a creative new endeavor. Save your money. Not even worth $1/ml Also, I had a few girls around me try it. They did not think it was anything special. Now I understand everything is subjective blah blah blah but trust me on that one, total waste of money.

No different to Alex II. This is perhaps the shittiest move since Roja downsized his bottles and doubled the price. I love this house and own all iterations of Alexandria prior to the worldwide release of Alex II. This is just quite simply a con.
