What do reviewers say about Ab.so.lute. and Alexandria II?
This is the one people compare to Alexandria II, a full-bodied oriental that smells like it cost three times the price. The opening is all herbs and smoke, the drydown is warm skin and vanilla.Ab.so.lute.
The oud arrives late but never polite. That lavender-and-apple opening either intrigues you or makes you flinch, and the fact that it does either is exactly the point.Alexandria II
