Xerjoff is an Italian niche house known for using premium raw materials and complex compositions. Founded by Nasser Hallal, the brand has built a reputation for ambitious fragrances that prioritize quality ingredients and longevity, with Alexandria II representing their signature approach to layered, architectural scents.

Alexandria II opens with bright apple and cinnamon over lavender and palisander rosewood, creating a warm spicy top that's both crisp and inviting. The heart develops with cedar, lily of the valley, and rose, grounding the composition in floral and woody territory. The base anchors everything with oud, amber, musk, sandalwood, and vanilla, building a rich, powdery foundation that carries the fragrance for hours. The overall character is woody-amber with a distinctive powdery warmth that threads through from top to base.

This is a fragrance for those who appreciate classical structure with enough complexity to reward repeated wears. It works equally well as a thoughtful everyday scent or an evening choice, leaning neither overtly masculine nor feminine. Alexandria II suits anyone drawn to warm spices, oud-based compositions, and fragrances that feel substantial on the skin. Discover similar scents through The Romantic, The Homesteader, and The Reverie.

Fragrance Notescommunity verified
Top · 0–30 min
Apple
Apple
Fresh, crisp, and slightly cidery, apple reads as clean and natural rather than candy-sweet. Green apple is sharper and more aromatic; red apple is rounder and juicier. Both add an approachable freshness to florals and fresher orientals, and green apple in particular is a signature of certain classic masculines.
Cinnamon
Cinnamon
Sweet, warm, and instantly comforting, cinnamon bark has a familiar warmth that slides easily into oriental and gourmand fragrances. Used sparingly it adds a pleasant warmth; used heavily it can dominate. It has a slightly sharp, peppery facet alongside its sweetness that keeps it from being purely foodie.
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.
Palisander Rosewood
Palisander Rosewood
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Cedar
Cedar
Lily Of The Valley
Lily Of The Valley
Crisp, green, and dewy, this spring flower smells like rain on cool grass with a clean, soap-like clarity. It's one of perfumery's most requested scents despite being nearly impossible to extract naturally, so it's almost always recreated synthetically. The result is fresh, tender, and timelessly elegant.
Rose
Rose
The queen of floral notes and the most-used ingredient in fine perfumery. Real rose is simultaneously velvety, honeyed, and slightly spicy, nothing like the synthetic candy version. Depending on the variety used, it can anchor a composition or drift through it like a ghost, adding warmth without dominating.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Agarwood (Oud)
Agarwood (Oud)
Amber
Amber
A warm, resinous accord rather than a single ingredient, amber is typically built from labdanum, benzoin, and vanilla to create a rich, honeyed, almost solar warmth. It's the quintessential base-note family, adding a comforting richness that makes fragrances feel complete. The difference between a fragrance feeling cold and feeling alive.
Musk
Musk
The base layer of almost every modern fragrance, a soft, warm, skin-like scent that extends longevity and bridges other notes together. Natural musk was once derived from deer (now banned); today's musks are synthetic and range from clean and soapy to dark and animalic. The right musk makes a fragrance smell like 'you.'
Sandalwood
Sandalwood
Creamy, smooth, and milky with a soft, skin-like warmth that clings beautifully. True Mysore sandalwood is one of perfumery's most precious ingredients, simultaneously wood and skin, never cold or sharp. It rounds off sharp edges in any composition and makes the wearer smell subtly, irresistibly warmer.
Vanilla
Vanilla
Warm, sweet, and universally appealing, vanilla is to fragrance what salt is to cooking. Real vanilla is complex and slightly smoky, though most perfumery vanilla is synthetic and reads as clean, sweet, and creamy. It slows the evaporation of other notes and is the reason certain fragrances feel like a second skin.
