The history of Xerjoff’s Alexandria line is a saga of Sergio Momo’s dedication to uncompromising standards of luxury and quality. After the highly acclaimed offering, the perfume world was left begging for more—but due to the unavailability of the specific rare oud used in its formulation, it was decided that any new batch would not smell the same. Rather than compromise on a reformulation, Xerjoff decided to create an entirely new scent based on a different, equally precious oud. This fragrance celebrates the tenth anniversary of this enchanting and exotic fragrance journey. Sergio Momo once again presents an exciting new entry into the Alexandria family, this time featuring the most distinguished and valuable oud to date—a precious specimen from the Tarakan forests of the Borneo Islands, meticulously aged by a master craftsman and renowned for its powerful woody character. This is Alexandria’s second anniversary, a unique creation that pays homage to the significance of its prestigious predecessors while casting a powerful spell of its own. The anniversary opens with deep, sensual notes of Bulgarian rose, cumin, and cardamom, expertly blended into the rich, romantic, and powerful heart of Oud Tarakan, with a vibrant signature and the perfect touch of elegant lavender. This luxurious and sophisticated development carries into the lustrous and long-lasting base, where the warm embrace of musk and Madagascan vanilla blends with genuine Australian sandalwood, leaving an indelible mark on all who experience it. Whether you have been on this decade-long journey since the beginning, or if you are an oud connoisseur searching for a new horizon, Alexandria II Anniversary is everything you could hope for in an oud fragrance, and a bold new achievement from the House of Zarjoff.
