This is a unique, beautiful, soft, woody and powdery oud scent with roses. This is not a traditional rose oud, it feels like some well known scent profile- in this case rose oud - is covered with a huge amount of powder which is scented with Lavender. In the opening there is soft Palisander Rosewood, Lavender and Cinnamon. Lavender gives a fresh aromatic feeling and I think it’s the note which gives a soapy vibe for some people. For me it’s not soapy, it’s just clean. Cinnamon is difficult to separate as a note in any kind of way but it brings warm spicy vibe which I like a lot. Since there is Cedar in the middle notes and Sandalwood in the base notes, this is really woody but in the soft creamy way. And the whole point of this perfume: Oud. There is Laotian Oud and Thailand Oud and the last one with Musk give very sensual nuances to this concoction which I adore. Vanilla is impossible to detect as a note but it brings more soft touch to the scent. Beautiful sophisticated Rose is lingering in the background and it’s perfectly blended. Everytime I wear this it’s getting more addictive. Now the common question: how this differs from Alexandria II ? Since the main accords and notes are almost same it’s easy to think that these two are similar. It was somehow too boring for me and I felt that there is missing something. That was soapy for me but not a vintage style soapy which I love. I’m so glad that I gave a chance for III but that wasn’t love at the first sight either. I was testing this scent for a couple of weeks and after that I was totally in love. I tried to give many opportunity to II as well - but that wasn’t for me. I’M still IN LOVE with Alexandria III 😍 💯 Beautifully blended, totally unisex creation! Pretty overly sweet Honey together with Caramel and that combination is made wonderfully. It's smooth, soft and it has slightly baby wipes vibe which makes it velvety and a little bit powdery. In overall this is sweeter that Ceylon but the opening in Ceylon is much much sweeter that this one. If you like honey, this is definitely your choice and this is very easy concoction, Oud on my skin is totally hidden and Honey as well is pleasant. This short review is based on a sample.

Unisex I made one review earlier and those was my first vibes of Alexandria III I wanted to post the more detailed review. This is unique beautiful, soft, woody, powdery oud scent with a hint with rose. This is definitely not a traditional rose oud, this is different and very complex, nice, round and mysterious (which I like always) blend. In the opening there is soft Palisander Rosewood, Lavender and Cinnamon. Lavender gives a fresh aromatic feeling and I think it’s the note which gives soapy vibe for some people. For me it’s not soapy, it’s just clean. Cinnamon is difficult to separate as a note in any kind of way but it brings warm powdery vibe which I like a lot. Since there is Cedar in the middle notes and Sandalwood in the base notes, this is really woody but in the soft milky (not lactonic) way. And the whole point of this perfume: Oud. There is Laotian Oud and Thailand Oud and the last one with Musk give sexy very slightly animalic vibe to this creation which I adore. Vanilla is impossible to detect as a note but it brings more soft touch to the scent. Beautiful hint of the Rose is lingering in the background and it has to be there, otherwise this wouldn’t be as addictive as it is. Now the common question: how this differs from Alexandria II ? Since the main accords and notes are almost same it’s easy to think that these two are similar. II was too boring for me and I felt that there is missing something. That was soapy for me.

I tried to give many opportunity to II as well - but that wasn’t for me. But oh, I LOVE this Alexandria III 😍 💯 Beautifully blended, totally unisex masterpiece!
