Well I looked it up, it is for sale on the u.k. website. By the looks of it, seems to have a lot of the ingridients of my all time favourite parfum sooo.. kind of blind bought it, there is still no list of the notes yet but you can see some of the notes in the picture
Maybe not the right place to ask...but I'm looking for a recommendation! I'm at the point of being overwhelmed with all of the fragrances out there and just don't know what to do next. Would like to buy an Alexandria, either original or inspiration, but not sure which to get. My 3 signature scents that I wear the most are Tuscan Leather, Noir Extreme, and Gucci Pour Homme II (the tea scent). Things I didn't like that I thought I would: Oud Wood, Tobacco Vanille (not bad, just reminds me of a candle I own), and Tea for Two. Thanks for any advice you guys can provide!
@Jestin Jund.... I would suggest ordering a sample set from Alexandria. You can choose 7 different frags from his line and they come in 5ml sprayers for $50. He has over 100 fragrances to choose from ( I know making it harder), but he has descriptions for each and if they are inspired by anything what the frag inspiration is. Since you already wear Tuscan Leather... try his hybrid.. Tuscan King which is both Tuscan Leather and Creed Aventus combined. Give 1981X a try which is his version of Xerjoff 1861 Naxos. He has many more..just browse the descriptions and see what peeks your interest. I like gourmands, so his original.. SWEET REVENGE and his by Killian Black Phantom Inspired DARK KNIGHT are my favorites.
@@tiredoffools8929 Thanks for the advice! So, I ordered Bitter Soft from him about a month ago and included was a sample of Tuscan King and Carve On (Green Irish Leather clone). Tuscan King was good but not different enough that I felt it warranted a purchase outside of the Bitter Soft. Carve On smelled like dirt to me which was actually kind of appealing but after wearing it for an hour, I was a little overwhelmed by just how much I smelled like dirt, haha. As for 1981X, I've smelled Pure Havanne, which many find super similar and it was nice but maybe just not something I would wear on the regular.
Weird...I asked for a sample of "Hafez Exclusive" with my last order and received a sample bottle titled "Stronger than you Absolutely". I thought it strange, but didn't mention it to AF yet. Has that happened to anyone else? Does "Hafez Exclusive" smell like "Stronger with you Absolutely"?? Because that is about the only frag I can surmise this sample is related to... Anyone?
Yes their presentation is very nice (worth to mention, i feel happy once carrying it) but i received it for 30ml only, for their 55ml i received it in a velvety bag not in that box. Now, how is their OUDDICTION? I went for DUA SHADOW PLAY and it was WOW though i can't compare it to INITIO OFG as i have not smelled it yet.
Ousso Ch....Word to the wise....always order a sample of the original before buying an "INSPIRED" version. It not only helps you when you listen to reviews of the frags, but it helps you determine if the "Inspired" version you purchase is doing a good job or not. That is the only way to be sure. With that said, whenever I've ordered an inspired version that both DUA an Alexandria has created..The Alexandria version came up on top 8 out of 10 times. If you are a fan of By Killian's Black Phantom...then you will love Alexandria's version DARK KNIGHT. It is far superior to Dua's Black Widow. Alexandria offers a 7 sample pack of 5 ml each, and you can choose whatever frags you like on his site. If there are Dua counterparts you already own, I would order a few samples of the Alexandria version so that you can compare for yourself. Happy Hunting!
@@tiredoffools8929 Well i admit, it is a logic concept. But it is not feasible for who doesn't live in similar country like yours where decanting is found everywhere. In my case it is difficult to find at first place and international shipping cost in second place. I ended up relying on trusted reviewers and i feel sad Alexandria Fragrances not getting reviewed much...i tried couple of theirs and liked them a lot..in all aspects (presentation, smell, performance, even customer support.. super friendly)....I do compare by visiting stores as much as i can but it is tuff as we i am busy and annoying....i used to spray 6 different perfumes whenever i visit a store and get lost by end of the day or forgetting it.. After trying DUA and regardless that i did not try the originals of some od what i ordered (i never get disappointed) so they became trustworthy for me..... I will try to reach you out through youtube to get your contact (if you are ok), you look expert with Alexandria's stuff and i am interested to try more.... I have like 18 DUAs vs 2 Alexandria's up to this moment and i am sad to hear that about Black Widow as i just ordered it👊👊
My first & only purchase from ALexandria was Dark Knight. Hafez Exclusive was the free sample they sent with Dark Knight. I didn’t love Dark Knight & ended up selling it but I loved Exclusive from first sniff. I agree the passion fruit sets this one apart I know 1984x gets a lot of love which I can’t confirm nor deny but Exclusive is awesome. Not bought a full bottle yet but is on my purchase list. I know you love tobacco but is Exclusive your favorite from the brand? Also thinking about the TF Plum clone since Plumlicious is always out of stock on Dua’s website. Any thoughts on those 2 would be appreciated as well! 🙏
You have got to give it to this house, prolific output with some really cracking products. Having owned Hafez 1984 I’m extremely interested in this one, which is available today at £34 for the 30ml. As always Chris an excellent narrative conjuring up the essence of this fragrance.
You should try reviewing the essence vault fragrances.. I've got about 14 100ml bottles now.. There versions of boss bottled, tobacco vanille, tuscan leather and F*ING fabulous are incredible.. And they're cheap as chips.. With the discount code you can get 3 x 100ml bottles around £40.. Some are so so and do great for work or the gym but some of them are incredible.. Like I say the boss bottled is unreal. Beast mode to and last 8-10hrs easy
Hi mate what's your thoughts on Golden Agar from Perfume Parlour? It's the clone of TF Oud wood, I believe it was called oud woodies previously would like to know if you've tried this clone? Enjoying your videos 👌
I have a bit of the Hafez Intense and I really love it! As of yesterday they still had the travel sprays unavailable, I hope they get them back soon. 😕
Chris please this is my 5th time waiting for a video with Arron blind rating all Tom Ford fragrances (designer/Private) Arron love TF too it’s challenging and everyone seems to like this idea I’m getting lots of likes and comments everytime I request this thank you 🙏🏼
Hello bro. Could you please do a video showing 5 fragances to those who want to enter the fragance game yet don´t know a thing about it? Like, cheap fragances each one with a diffrent smell so we noobies can train our nose on those basic scents that every frag-head should be able to differentiate. To be honest, I dont know how most of the components every reviewer talks about smell. Thank you.
@Robert Quinlan....Alexandria makes some GREAT dupes and originals. If you are a fan of Killian's Black Phantom owning his version of DARK KNIGHT is a must. I like it better than the original and I can't believe that is a fact. Not all of the dupes are bangers..but I can say MOST are. His Baccarat Rouge 540 (INTERPLAY) is identical. With any house that offers "INSPIRED" versions of fragrances you always have to look at price per mil to see if it is worth it. Black Phantom comes at 50 ml size and is $5.90/ml and is an EDP. There is always a 10%off, so Dark Knight comes in 30 ml & 55 ml and is a Parfum EXTRAIT and cost roughly $1.00/ml which is hella good. The best part is you can order a sample pack of 7 frags of your choice (5 ml each) to se which ones you like before buying full bottles. He literally has over 100 frags to choose from. He make s HYBRIDS like Tuscan King which is a combination of Aventus and Tuscan Leather. I bought a sample and it works!
Love Alexandria but do find them abit pricey even with the discount codes, shame really as could see myself only ever wearing alexandrias fragrances in my entire collection if they priced them lower.
@@FRAGMENTAL I agree some of them are especially the original creations but others are almost the same price as the original they are cloning if you work it out per ml. Additionally they do seem cheaper in the US which hopefully one day will be addressed.
Lol damn it!!! I spit out my drink when you said Pornstars! I thought “wow you skipped the strippers and went straight to the pornstars!” All the years I’ve been mixing drinks and I’ve never heard of that. Research time!
probably my favorite original creation from Alexandria.

This one sounds rather strong. I wonder how that passion fruit accord would smell. Hope to get my nose on this one soon. Cheers from Bogotá, Chris!
This is a very good review
Funny but at the same time intelligently put together
What’s the performance like. ?
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm gonna try it have a blessed day
Hi mate what's your thoughts on Golden Agar from Perfume Parlour? It's the clone of TF Oud wood, I believe it was called oud woodies previously would like to know if you've tried this clone? Enjoying your videos 👌
I like it 👍🏻
Which fragrance did you like better ouddiction or this Hafez Exclusive?
Whats the closest fragrance to with ..nich/ designer that comes to mind .. What how was the projection ..on this one
I have a bit of the Hafez Intense and I really love it! As of yesterday they still had the travel sprays unavailable, I hope they get them back soon. 😕
The travel spray is cool, but extracting perfume from the original bottle is the real struggle :(
Great review Chris! Hany always does an amazing job with his fragrances! This one sounds awesome as well!
I love it!
Interesting mate, will have to get a sample, love the original, still need to try the other flankers, cheers!
Really need to try this. Thanks for the review Chris
You're welcome 👍🏻

I Love Alexandria frangans 😋💪🤘😜
Great review mate. I love Hafez 1984 and the presentation from Alexandria is first class 💯
1984 is hard to beat by any standards!
Will you be doing a Ouddiction review, Chris? 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Yes hopefully!

Thak you! Looking foward to see it
Thanks Chris, please review Frederic Malle Musc Ravageur clone of Alexandria
The opening is a monster, very harsh, yet the drydown is damn close.
I'm not familiar with them so it's great to learn more them and what they offer from you 🙏

@@tiredoffools8929 appreciate your Insight into them , it's been great to learn more about them 🙏
******UK Boxes/Presentation is slightly diffrent *******
Does the passion fruit come off tart?
Not at all. Very smooth.
Opinion, please, what is better: y edp or allure homme sport eau extrême?
allure homme sport eau extreme
Get both
Love Alexandria but do find them abit pricey even with the discount codes, shame really as could see myself only ever wearing alexandrias fragrances in my entire collection if they priced them lower.
For the quality I feel they're very fairly priced.

Great upload Chris.
Thanks👍🏻
Lol damn it!!! I spit out my drink when you said Pornstars! I thought “wow you skipped the strippers and went straight to the pornstars!” All the years I’ve been mixing drinks and I’ve never heard of that. Research time!
I hope your research is thus far proving fruitful.
Great review this one sounds interesting

I like the sound of cinnamon, tuberose & fruity vibes. Seems unisex. Great descriptions.
Thank you
@@louisefisher9959 Yes definitely unisex.
I think you were Chad!
Love the channel, but dude you place wayyyyyy to many commercials on here and strays me away
Nick Abel bro I hated those commercials!! I swear TH-cam premium is the way to go!! You’ll never look back and won’t regret it!
GOOOD :)
Hafez? Did they get inspired by Iranian poet "Hafez"? 🤔
Nn it's hany's last name
Great video Chris and I need Pornstar drink 🍹 too 😂.
Everyone does!
