Perfumes discussed: Zion- Elysium Boschetti de la Costa- Jardin di Amalfi Good life- The Best Life Dirty Orange- Neroli Sauvage Across the Universe- Aqua Universalis Forte
Stephen, I recently received a travel-sized decant of Africano. It was an instant winner for me with it's beautiful, gently wafting aroma that really has held up nicely in the intense southern summer heat and humidity. This is full-bottle worthy for sure!!!
I love Alexandria and DUA clones. I also like Alexandria's solid fragrances which I like to use when I go to bed. I especially like that they tend to perform a lot better than the original upon which they are based.
Nice choices. Thanks, unfortunately, there are a lot of missing perfumes not available in AlexandriaUk whilst they are available on Alexandria site...Also not samples...I like Zion a lot!
Oh man the intro. Appreciate the Alexandria list. Dirty Orange and Boschetti are my jam among others and some more others. Great advice regarding these - have smelled em all.
Dan, I just discovered and sampled Dirty Orange. It's impressive and bottle worthy. It now joins my list of fresh summer favorites from Alexandria. I forgot your review from last summer.
Great video and I enjoyed it and the only fragrance I tried from this house is tuscan king and im going to try the other fragrances and have a blessed day
My 2 favorites from Alexandria are Apple Crumb & the original blend Hafez Exclusive. They have some nice ones but I think Dua creates longer lasting fragrances and new releases almost weekly.
I love a lot from Alexandria. Sunday morning, crystal peak and others are great. Alexandria Port is also awesome. Well worth checking those out. I’m also a fan of Dirty Orange. Great video
Alexandria's Sunday Morning is an absolutely amazing freshy from start to finish. Pretty long lasting, and better sillage than most of the Alexandria freshies. You'll definitely smell it in a room when you leave for a bit and return Boschetti Della Costa is great once the petitgrain dies down a bit (maybe 5-10 mins in). The dry down is fantastic. I prefer this one to Sunday Morning, but it's not quite as mass appealing, though I doubt it would be actually disliked by anyone. Can't really speak to the sillage on this one. Feels a bit less projecting.
I get that this brand makes close to the OG scent of the original frag.. but you need to do a video (and pardon me if it already exists) on which brand has better longevity and projection between the same frags between Alexandria Fragrances and DUA Fragrances... that's the main issue at hand.. yes we have established they are both close to the OG frags but who wears the longevity and projection crown ?? I understand you may not want to ruffle any feathers but honestly it a MAJOR ISSUE TO ADDRESS... thanks bro
Your Alexandria reviews are terrific and appreciated, having introduced me to the house. My summer favorites from this house are: Zion, Deep Blue (MFK Aqua Celestia), and Hawaii Volcano (Creed Virgin Island Water). Zion seems to have more of a Bleu de Chanel vibe (with the grapefruit) and not so much of an Aventus vibe, in my view. Dua's Supernova leans more towards Aventus. Both are great. Aqua Celestia does not get enough attention, so Deep Blue should be on the lists of all who are fans of MFK and who like lime and mint. Looking forward to Boschetti de la Costa.
MrSmelly! Alexandria sent me 2 small samples of 2 fragrances that aren't on their website yet. Dirty Neroli, which seems to be their Tom Ford Neroli Portofino, although Alexandria Port achieves this too, and Cachemire Lovers, which is Diors Cachemire. Have they given you a try at these yet? I emailed them about a release date and I'm waiting on their reply. Exciting stuff!
I have four, Himalaya Mountains (Creed Himalaya), La Dolce Vita (D&G PH vintage), ETE Sauvage (Dior Sauvage EDP) and Homme Classique (YSL L'Homme vintage). Love all of them, great performers and they all smell really nice. Would be interesting to see how close Invidia is to Gucci Envy.
Hey thanks for the review. How come Casanova didn't make the list? Roja Mid Summer dream. You have great thing to say about it last month. Was thinking about buying it but now it doesn't make your top list so makes me wonder???
Casanova is 100 per cent brilliant. And it will be fantastic in summer. I just felt it is not so obviously a “summer” or “fresh“ scent as some of the others. It is easily as good as any in this list. Perhaps I should have included it.
@@MrSmelly1977 Well thats good to hear. I am looking for something different then the typical "freshy" for summer I have enough of those already. Wanted something that will standout a little bit from the rest.
I have to warn people about Alexandria Fragrances. They sent me four samples, all weak smelling, the fragrance disappeared in 15 minutes - these were The Irish Gentleman, Anubis Kiss, Golden Rush and Hafez 1984.. DO NOT BUY. Their response to me was they have a successful business 🙃 I would point out that it depends what the aim is. If it is to sell crap for a few years and make millions in the process then perhaps they have a great business model.

Can you do an updated version of this video!!! For 2023. Ty
great ideas in there...I think Africano (their take on Byredo's Bal D'Afrique) is solid too and in that fresh clean spring summer bracket...👍
Thanks Stephan.

I agree Carl.
That Dirty Orange sounds like one I should try.
It’s a good one X Charles.
TROPICAL NIGHT!!!!

I bought Dirty Orange on your recommendation a while back. Thanks Dan!
Thanks Daniel.
Yes, thank you!
I love Alexandria fragrances. Great video.
Thanks Karla.
I love a lot from Alexandria. Sunday morning, crystal peak and others are great. Alexandria Port is also awesome. Well worth checking those out. I’m also a fan of Dirty Orange. Great video
That opening was hilarious!
Great video. I have 4 samples from alexandria and one 30ml(the Irish gentleman, their take on GIT) and I have really become a fan of the house.
Thanks a lot Mark.
I have The Irish Gentleman too. Pretty good
Good idea calling Creed Boutique !
Thanks my friend. Love your channel !

Are there any discount codes?
Great video
Love the house of Alexandria
Where’s Stanley beach
It’s very good for the summer
👍
Thanks a lot Alexander.
I was going to grab Stanley Beach how it?
It’s a fantastic
Summer fragrance with aquatic notes

Try LEYKIS 101 !!!!
Hope that you get intro comm as following your great intro to Alexandria I've bought some-many thanks
Thanks Clive!
Excellent review with fantastic content 👍👍👍
Thank you Anthony!
Unfortunately Zion doesn't perform well at all on me. It's pretty much an immediate skin scent.
I pretty much only wear Alexandria if they offer my fav niche offering, i’ll only buy actual niche bottles of stuff they don’t make
That’s praise indeed! Thanks lira.
MrSmelly1977 🙏🏼 keep it up Smelly!
MrSmelly1977 Are you a fan of Masculin Pluriel? That’s my current fav barbershop scent right now.
It’s called Boschetti Della Costa don’t try to spell it like shown on screen it won’t come up on website🤔
Sorry for typo!

👏👏👏 To the King, here is the fragrance you requested to wear into battle in your effort to restore the kingdom👍
Thank you Rigdun.

Too many fake brands. Please keep a higher standard. It is too obvious that those clone brands pay you
You into guys????
Get bent MrSmelly you sellout. If we support the copycats who will be left to create new fragrances? I am disappointed in you.
