Alexandria II is a deeply divisive fragrance with a notoriously challenging opening that turns many people away immediately, but rewards patience with a beautiful, complex dry down that devoted fans consider exceptional. Success heavily depends on skin chemistry and tolerance for animalic or sharp top notes, making it essential to test on skin rather than paper strips before committing to a full bottle.
