Xerjoff Alexandria Ii

Mostly dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer. Underneath that, sweet resinous warmth, soft and slightly powdery.

It opens on palisander rosewood, lavender and cinnamon, moves through rose, cedar and lily-of-the-valley, and settles on agarwood (oud), sandalwood and amber.

• lavender: clean herbal flower, cooling and slightly soapy
• cinnamon: hot sweet baking spice

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
