Alexandria II in a 35% concentration is an oriental–woody composition with a dense and noble architecture.
The fragrance is built on the balance between a spicy opening, a floral–woody heart, and a deep oud base.
In the extrait version, the formula gains stability and a slower development.
A multi-stage cycle softens the spiciness of cinnamon, stabilizes the oud accord, and makes the woody structure more cohesive.
The opening is expressive and warm: apple creates a juicy foundation, cinnamon adds spicy depth, lavender introduces aromatic freshness, and rosewood provides a woody link between the notes.
The heart builds a classic oriental framework: cedar adds a dry vertical structure, lily of the valley brings light transparency, and Bulgarian rose contributes a velvety floral richness.
The base forms a stable foundation: amber adds warm density, Laos oud introduces resinous depth, musk enhances purity, sandalwood softens the composition, and vanilla adds roundness.
At a 35% concentration the fragrance does not become heavy — it becomes foundational.
It is a dense woody–oud presence with a distinct oriental character.
