What do reviewers say about Alexandria Orientale and Arena?
Green apple and basil lead the opening, creating a fresh and aromatic start. Oud and tobacco form the base, providing depth and presence that endures throughout the wear.Alexandria Orientale
China rose and artemisia open with an herbal sharpness that polarizes, some find it medicinal, others find it brilliant. Neither side is wrong. The heart softens considerably.Arena
