Alexandria III
The third chapter in Xerjoff's Alexandria series opens on an inviting accord: cinnamon, rosewood, and lavender — warm, slightly sweet, with the lavender tempering the spice into something rounder than it first appears.

By the editors · 2 min readThe third chapter in Xerjoff's Alexandria series opens on an inviting accord: cinnamon, rosewood, and lavender — warm, slightly sweet, with the lavender tempering the spice into something rounder than it first appears. Bulgarian rose leads the heart, full-petaled and unhurried, accompanied by lily of the valley's cool green freshness and cedar's quiet structural support. An apple note running through the composition adds a subtle fruitiness that keeps the floral development from feeling heavy.
The base settles into Italian luxury territory: rich sandalwood, warm amber, vanilla, and musk — the combination Xerjoff handles with evident ease. Long-wearing and polished, with a balance that works across seasons. Alexandria III doesn't aim for surprise; it delivers exactly the beautifully finished floral oriental it promises, with the material quality the house has built its reputation on.
