Alexandria Fragrances is a niche house focused on creating distinctive, character-driven compositions that stand apart from mainstream offerings. Highlands, released in 2019, exemplifies their approach to crafting scents with genuine depth and personality.

Highlands opens with bright bergamot and lavender, grounded immediately by juniper for an herbal, almost gin-like quality. The heart develops into a complex blend of geranium, heather, and pine, creating a distinctly aromatic profile that feels both floral and woody without leaning heavily in either direction. Vetiver, oakmoss, and cedarwood anchor the base, lending an earthy, resinous finish that lingers with quiet sophistication. The overall composition is green and fresh with substantial woody-aromatic character, striking a balance between sharpness and warmth.

This is a fragrance for those who appreciate classical aromatic-woody scents without unnecessary sweetness or heavy florality. It suits both men and women equally well and works best in cooler months or as an office fragrance year-round. Highlands pairs well with the scent profiles of The Tactician, The Aristocrat, and The Homesteader.

Fragrance Notesai estimated
Top · 0–30 min
Bergamot
Bergamot
A sun-ripened Italian citrus with a brightness that goes beyond lemon, simultaneously tart, floral, and slightly spicy. It's the defining note of Earl Grey tea and the backbone of countless fresh colognes. Perfumers love it as an opener because it lifts the entire composition without overpowering what follows.
Lavender
Lavender
One of perfumery's most essential and beloved notes, clean, herbal, and slightly sweet with a calming, familiar quality that works in almost any context. Lavender is simultaneously the most versatile and the most human of ingredients: it appears in barbershop colognes, romantic florals, and sophisticated orientals alike. A note that simply works.
Juniper
Juniper
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Geranium
Geranium
Green, rosy, and slightly minty, geranium is one of perfumery's most useful ingredients, sitting at the intersection of floral, herbal, and green families. Rose geranium adds a natural, slightly ragged freshness to rose accords that synthetic rose can't match. It grounds floral compositions in something earthy and real.
Heather
Heather
Pine
Pine
Sharp, resinous, and forest-fresh, pine adds a crisp, green-woody quality to fragrances that is immediately associated with mountain air and coniferous forests. Unlike sweeter fir balsam, pine reads as clean and slightly medicinal. Used in sporty, outdoorsy, and classic masculine compositions.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Vetiver
Vetiver
Earthy, smoky, and complex, vetiver root is extracted from a grass native to India and has a scent that is simultaneously rooty, woody, and slightly lemony. It's one of perfumery's great base notes: tenacious, unisex, and endlessly adaptable. A fragrance built around vetiver feels grounded and deeply confident.
Oakmoss
Oakmoss
The defining ingredient of classic chypre perfumery, damp, forest-floor earthy with a faint bitterness and incredible complexity. Real oakmoss is now heavily restricted by IFRA regulations, which is why vintage chypres smell so different from modern ones. When present, it creates a raw, outdoorsy anchor that no synthetic fully replicates.
Cedarwood
Cedarwood
Clean, dry, and pencil-shaving familiar, cedar brings structure without heaviness. Depending on the variety (Atlas, Virginia, Texas), it can range from slightly sweet and waxy to sharply aromatic. It's a workhorse base note that gives woody fragrances their spine, and it's universally flattering on skin.
