Summer
A dense oriental woody built around oud, leather and cedar, with a green apple and basil opening that quickly gives way to rose, tobacco and resin. It reads dark and layered, projecting well while keeping a serious, worn-leather character. The vanilla and sandalwood base soften the edges without lightening the overall weight.

Alexandria Orientale carries sweetness without letting it define the scent.
Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin. Where wear reports are thin, those scores rest near the middle by design, so a mid-range reading here is a statement about the evidence as much as about the scent. Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
