Composition of the fragrance
The composition opens with a fruity hint of apple, married with the floral notes of lavender and the woody, even herbal, accords of rosewood. Gradually, you are led to the heart notes, which are strictly oriental, composed of sweet cedarwood, heady yet tender lily of the valley and subtle Bulgarian rose with a hint of fruit. In the base notes, sweet sandalwood is interspersed with soft, sensual musk, strikingly aromatic Laotian oud, powdery amber and sweet, spicy vanilla.
Story of the fragrance
Xerjoff Alexandria II is part of the Oud Stars by Xerjoff collection and contains oud, one of the rarest perfume ingredients. These unique fragrances are inspired by traditional Arabic perfumery and the travels of Ibn Battuta and bear the names of the towns that this traveller visited and described in his book.
