Xerjoff Alexandria Orientale Parfum

Description

Alexandria Orientale comes from Xerjoff’s Oud Stars collection, released in 2018 and originally exclusive to the UAE market before reaching wider distribution, a genuinely oud-forward Parfum composed by Chris Maurice. It opens on an unusual leather-and-green-apple top brightened by basil and incense, moves through a spiced floral heart of Bulgarian rose, cedar, and orris root, and settles into a deep base built around real agarwood, tobacco leaf, and Madagascar vanilla. This is Xerjoff’s Arabian-perfumery register at full strength: rich, resinous, and unapologetically opulent.
