I agree, this stuff is fantastic. I remember getting my 5ml decant and spraying it for the first time - the goofy smile I felt on my face said it all, I knew this was something special right away even though I obviously didn't know how it was composed and blended like you broke it down as a perfumer. Thanks for your review, please review more Xerjoff for us 👍🙏
I watch this review when it just came out. But I keep watching it on and on and on. Just because the way you describe each part of this perfume . I close my eyes and see a maestro moving his hand in each part of a classical music band playing his music. So beautiful. As always.
I am in Love your reviews. I’m learning so much, and I appreciate your brain (both of them , the chemistry and the unicorn). Sending gratitude from the U.S.
Aaron said the magic sentence (7:03) "If I didn't have my own range and wasn't a perfumer, I'd buy it and just wear it all the time because I loved it." This has been my favorite scent since I first smelled it. Can't get enough! Price? I buy fragrances all the time for many years, so I simply stopped buying other fragrances just to get this one 🤷🏻♂
Makes perfect sense to purchase a fragrance of pure quality and not quantity. I purchased (More than words because of it price) its a very similar fragrance. I still have Alexander II on my radar for 2024. When do you mostly wear the fragrance.
You make my decisions by your first sniff. I bought side affect bc it made you go tingly straight away. Looks like I’ve got to purchase this as well!! Great content as per usual! Thanks Aaron.
Glad you gave it a try and enjoyed it - thanks! I have tried quite a lot of fragrances, but Alexandria II is something special. Had the chance to wear a decant last winter and I loved every second of it. To me, it had a mild barnyard smell with incense and a slight rose hit. Quite expensive to buy it at once so I need to decant, but I don't really mind it. I think it's quite expensive due to the oud they're using being very rare. 10/10
If there is such a thing as a “Master Reviewer” of all things Fragrances, you would hand an down hold the title. Love learning so much from you. This along with Renaissance and 40 Knots are next on my buy list.
Hi Aaron, I received Xerjoff Naxos for Christmas this year from my wife and it’s simply stunning. I have been wearing Naxos almost every day. I also have been doing my research and keep coming back to Alexandria II. I have to get my nose on Alexandria II soon. Thank you for your review…you have piqued my curiosity for Alexandria II. Xerjoff has been my favorite house to explore in my journey thus far. Great content in your analysis of this fragrance!
I have to say, the thing about your reviews I enjoy the most is actually the chemical breakdowns you give. I'm sure a lot of people just want to hear your general thoughts on a particular fragrance and I certainly want to as well but as someone who is just starting to delve into creating my own fragrances, learning about certain aroma chemicals and the effects they produce is most helpful. Whenever you say something like "he's using this material to provide lift and elevation" or "they're using this musk to create a velvety texture" or whatever, I take it as like a free perfumery crash course and it has helped me tremendously in knowing what types of aroma chemicals and naturals to purchase, instead of just going about it blindly.
Months and months ago I suggested you review this. So glad you did it and very happy it gets high praise from you! I also dislike its price, that's why I ONLY have about 400ml of it in backups LOL. Nice, Aaron, keep them coming!
Really, is it that good? I'm on the edge for this. Is it for men? And can we use it as a signature scent? And what about the compliment factor? All seasons? Asking this, because it's like you have used it a lot. Thank you.
Great review, will have to buy a decant to try it out because my skin is also the same, a lot of fragrances are really lacklustre on it. And since you make fragrances that suit you, I am going to have to try your line out as well. A fragrance that does last and project a very long time on my skin and I absolutely LOVE is Black Kalemat by Arabian Oud. It’s a really nice Western meets Middle Eastern ambery/vanilla fragrance with a touch of oud. I think you would love that one a lot.
There he is with the Alex II review ☺️ brilliant maestro 🦄 🤞✌️🤞 The price was a barrier for me for a long time until a friend sold me his used 20/50ml bottle 😅
I own Xerjoff Alexandria II, Uden Overdose, Accento, and Commandante. But I must say Alexandria II is above and beyond all else even all Xerjoff perfumes are special. Great review as always Aaron!
@@gregholden8812 Naxos is a fresh honey tobacco. Alexandria II is a rich amber, oud and vanilla. Very different and both are great, the latter is both more unique and more special.
I love Aaron’s reviews because they always depict his personal love for perfumery and come off 100% honest and informative, whereas 95% of other UA-cam reviewers sound like they were sent free stuff and are pulling an advertisement.
Thank you for a very enjoyable video, and descriptive as all your videos are. I have been thinking of purchasing Alexandria II, However I noted you said it was in the Naxos vein. Seeing as I own Naxos would you advise against purchasing the Alexandria II?
Nice! Another enjoyable and knowledgeable review. Your taste for perfumes is on part with mine, looking forward for more reviews from this house and more.
Hey Aaron, François Demanchy really created a new masterpiece, Dior J’Adore Infinissime. A brand new perfume by the master. Funny fact, your Violet Delirium 4 sprays topped with 2 sprays Dior J’Adore Infinissime is heavenly. People start sniffing at me in public ☺️ and then compliment me on the extraordinary scent I carry. A must try for you!!! I’m convinced this will get your 10/10 approval.
Nice review Aaron. This amazing fragrance is on my Christmas list. Hefty price tag tho. Modern men's fragrances have swayed a bit too unisex. Amouage Interlude Black Iris is my favorite modern day masculine scent. It's a bloody workhorse which leaves a trail of destruction everywhere I go. Once my body temperature rises, Black Iris goes to another level. Bottle has had time to macerate over the last 9 months. It's become even more potent. Banger!
Such a good review! Would be cool if someday you review some Francesca Bianchi perfume. 'Sticky Fingers' and 'Under my skin' are his best in my humble opinion.
I have Alexandria 2 and I absolutely love it! My only “problem” I have with it is that it might be too strong 😅 I feel like I’m choking everyone out when I’m wearing it especially at a bar. How many sprays would you recommend Aaron?
Good review Aaron. You are always being a genius bro. Like this review bro. Good and nice review bro. Can you do review on Pasha de Cartier Parfum? Have blessed weekend bro
I was going to wait till next winter to buy this, but after watching this review this morning I checked prices here in australia and found on a sight I normally buy from, 100ml for $665 every other sight it was like $845 So I pulled the pin, most expensive blind buy yet.. pretty's excited
My brother got this and I didn’t really care for it too much. It grew on me a lot though..he told me to wear it while I was going out to a bar and it garnered me a lot of positive feedback and now I want a bottle for myself haha! Great review Aaron.
Hola. Un gusto en ver la revisión. Si un experto como Usted dice que una fragancia es FANTASTICA, es porque allí hay al menos algo que vale la pena probar. Saludo cordial desde Medellín, Colombia.
He loves it, alleluiaaaaaaaaaaaa! I was so bloody worried u wont, this stuff is wonderful!!!!! The price I agree is madddddd, but I then its not for everyone (luxury?) & the presentation is amazingggggggg. If Kept in the presentation, it’s an excellent display item, hence the price I think equates.
You're a very well skilled chemist of perfume and great reviewer. Your teaching is out of this world. I would however, love to see you tell us when and where to wear the fragrances. Which season would the fragrance be maximized. I do however, understand we purchased the fragrances and we can wear it when ever we want too. I also notice that price does not match with alot of your reviews. This is so need to the average customer of high end fragrances. Please keep this house in the lime light.
I just ordered myself my first ever nice perfume above $30, this being it. I'm so so happy to see such a well thought out review and am extra excited now, I had been second guessing the purchase! I was hesitant to treat myself but everything is pointing to this being worth it. 😊
@@kimjong-un5074 I once upon a time had no love for "clean" smelling perfumes and only sought sweet. This changed my mind on that. It ended up not being my favorite of the few I received but my second favorite, right behind Initio's Oud for Greatness. It smelled truly clean, somehow like fresh linens without being overwhelming interwoven in a flower field scent. I was a bit underwhelmed by the description of woody, the reason I fell in love with the oud is for it's outstanding wooden scent. Alexandria II is like a clean flower field, flesh linen and a hint of sweet almond. The apple didn't really come through to me but I have an odor that's hard to pair with so that could be down to personal body chemicals. It smelled like heaven on my mother who said it was reminiscent of a perfume her beloved grandmother, my great grandmother wore (and she had good taste). It's a familiar albeit unique and beautiful scent of nature with an ever so faint dash of spiciness. I'm happy I bought it even though it did not work for my scent. It holds well and I noticed even after two days of not using it, it still clung to my body without ever being overwhelming or offensive. It was nice to get little wafts of the perfume days after use and shows how quality it is.
Tried a sample of this and this first thing that popped into my head was "dentist". Sure enough, eugenol is used in dentistry and present here. My second thought was "Wow, this is beautiful"
Fantastic review. Btw my wife and I picked up both Luna and Forbidden this week and we absolutely adore both. She plans on making Luna her signature scent. Forbidden is pure sweet decadence... beautiful work.
That’s very kind of you. I work very hard to bring beautiful works of art to my amazing customers. If you get a 10ml Oud and apply it under Luna it changes it to a night, Smokey fragrance
I was about to suggest you some niche parfum to review but I forgot it 😂 sorry for the irrelevant comment , great review as usual Aaron , all the best !
I purchase Xerjoff Naxos, and it was from you and a few other reviewers I trust, but Alexandria and Portrait of Lady will be my next buys, money be dammed. Great review!
This fragrance is pure art. Bought myself a full bottle from ZGO after sampling for 1.5 weeks. Best Oud I’ve gotten my nose on other than Oud Aquilaria from Omanluxury.
You gotta try areej le dore! He’s got all natural perfumes with beast projection and longevity and definitely using more oud than 5% in the formulation
Finally received a sample of this stuff. I have to admit, there is something in the opening that does not smell right on my skin. Once it dries down it gets better.
I love this one, but u should try Alexandria Orientale also. It has that strong oud punch in the beginning, then settles into a bit sweeter and more powdery Alexandria II, due to the green apple and orris. You won’t regret it
FINALLY!!! Been waiting quite some time for you to review this!! My personal all-time favorite! I’m glad I picked up a 50ml bottle because 3 sprays is literally all you need to last from morning till night and give massive projection. Cheers to you, Aaron!!
Price aside, Alexandria II or Naxos? Because it sounds like if it weren't for price, they are both "10s". I just ordered Naxos on a 24hr flash sale. Would love to see a 40 Knotts review.
Aaron, always top interesting reviews! Question: Have you ever thought about building a "pure oud" fragrance? Like animalix but, in this case, to give another fragrance real oud. Some times I wonder what would happen if "some other fragrance" had Oud (like Tom ford noir extreme or terre d'hermes). Could it be interesting? This is my curiosity boiling... Have a great weekend! 🦄
He has his actual Oud fragrance that he recommends for layering (which would probably be the closest thing he makes to an Animalix-ish oud fragrance), sells a pure oud sample, and has a sample of another type of oud in his Box Of Oud available on his website.
@@dontfollowrc, I know, I bought the samples back in February and I have the 10ml bottle of oud, onyx, tabac, animalix and forbidden (which I was the first one to decode on instagram 😜) The thing is, with the Oud fragrance you get more then "just" the oud. I don't agreed that Oud is comparable with the layering aspect of animalix... (I know want you mean but they are in different leagues)
It wouldn’t work. You would need to add things to it to make it work. I think pure Oud is a little unpleasant. It needs taming to bring out the beauty. I did sell pure Oud mainly to help customers detect if our was present.
Hey Aaron😘 just received my Xerjoff Alexandria ii and my first impression what a great scent nice warm woody spicy embracing so unique only the bad thing is that my close people around me don't like it so you see that tastes differ and expensive perfumes not always is worthy of a compliment… Thanks and keep it up💪🏽
Interesting, I wore it two days ago and got complimented from all the friends so much so that one of them ordered a 30ml bottle on the spot... he got delivery of it yesterday...
Fantastic description Aaron 😍 i love alexandria 2 but what do u think if i want more oud in it can i use pure cambodian oud oil and then layering it by alexandria 2?? It seems good or not?! I need ur magical opinion 🙏🏻♥️
On my skin off the top i get a plasticky oud, rose and a really nice apple note. Then it turns into powder, powder, powder and powder. Then i also found a note of powder and some nuances of powder.

all the Xerjoff parfums made by Chris Carbonnel (aka Chris Maurice), what a genius he is!

Nishane nefs is his masterpiece as well...
not all of them, but decent chunk of them.
I don’t know any of that. Awesome stuff
So glad you found Xerjoff, its AMAZING, literally one of a kind, my favorite is Naxos that you gave a 10 too soo :)

great review. i totally agree in each word. by the way aaron, i wonder the impact of skin tattoos on fragrances? any clou?
Fragrances go beast mode on tatts dude
From the same perfumer Chris Maurice hopefully you review Alexandria Imperiale with three types of oud in it and Alexandria Orientale.
This fragrance is pure art. Bought myself a full bottle from ZGO after sampling for 1.5 weeks.
Best Oud I’ve gotten my nose on other than Oud Aquilaria from Omanluxury.
You gotta try areej le dore! He’s got all natural perfumes with beast projection and longevity and definitely using more oud than 5% in the formulation
More of this house my man!😄
A great review Aaron, but wouldn’t 5% oud drown out the rest of the delicate notes of a fragrance after a while?
Finally received a sample of this stuff. I have to admit, there is something in the opening that does not smell right on my skin. Once it dries down it gets better.
This was my wedding scent. And still to this day, the best fragrance I have ever smelled
I love this one, but u should try Alexandria Orientale also. It has that strong oud punch in the beginning, then settles into a bit sweeter and more powdery Alexandria II, due to the green apple and orris. You won’t regret it
Great review i love this fragrance the best from xerjoff in my opinion 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great review I love this one and I think I’m the most backed up with this one in the whole world lolz I have 5 back up bottles…aroma from heaven
xerjoff ceylon
I’m so proud being Italian right now😍it’s one of my favorite fragrances!!
FINALLY!!! Been waiting quite some time for you to review this!! My personal all-time favorite! I’m glad I picked up a 50ml bottle because 3 sprays is literally all you need to last from morning till night and give massive projection. Cheers to you, Aaron!!
Yeah same here im so happy that he reviewed it
3? 🤣
How about 1? 🤣
Love 💕 your videos Aaron would you review Casamorati Italica Pure Perfume please love from Cheshire keep up the great reviews
have you tried Alexandria 3 yet Aaron? tried it today, my goodness, you have to review it. Amazing.
Heeeyyy, where do you think is a good online shop to buy fragances for good prices?
This is definitely one of my favorites. I was able to get it at a discounter, for about $325 for 100mL, which definitely made me love it even more.
Excellent review.
Amazing house...joyful
Great video dear
Hi Aaron
Another nice review . What are the Oud fragrances with a 2-5 % Oud content ?
I am unsure. I validate my Ouds at 5% with an independent chemist. I believe all perfume companies should do the same
I'm dead curious what youd think of roja parfum de la nuit 3. My holy grail scent yet it costs 1000 pounds. It blows my mind everytime I smell it
Would like to see you testing the new YSL bleu electrique :)
Price aside, Alexandria II or Naxos? Because it sounds like if it weren't for price, they are both "10s".
I just ordered Naxos on a 24hr flash sale.
Would love to see a 40 Knotts review.
Another comment. I own Xerjoff more than words. I really love this fragrance. However, please do a comparison review between these two fragrances.
Aaron, always top interesting reviews!
Question: Have you ever thought about building a "pure oud" fragrance? Like animalix but, in this case, to give another fragrance real oud.
Some times I wonder what would happen if "some other fragrance" had Oud (like Tom ford noir extreme or terre d'hermes). Could it be interesting?

The thing is, with the Oud fragrance you get more then "just" the oud. I don't agreed that Oud is comparable with the layering aspect of animalix... (I know want you mean but they are in different leagues)
It wouldn’t work. You would need to add things to it to make it work. I think pure Oud is a little unpleasant. It needs taming to bring out the beauty. I did sell pure Oud mainly to help customers detect if our was present.
The rosewood is quite prominent to me and feels like a higher quality cousin to our wood
If my favorite scents are green irish tweed and gucci guilty eau de parfum, what other fragrances would you think id like?
Great review I like both Alexandrias || and |||
Your reviews have been spot-on! Great review. Holla 🫡
are you practicing wingwave? got me almost hypnotized xD
Hey Aaron😘 just received my Xerjoff Alexandria ii and my first impression what a great scent nice warm woody spicy embracing so unique only the bad thing is that my close people around me don't like it so you see that tastes differ and expensive perfumes not always is worthy of a compliment…
Thanks and keep it up💪🏽
Interesting, I wore it two days ago and got complimented from all the friends so much so that one of them ordered a 30ml bottle on the spot...
he got delivery of it yesterday...

I like it but my friends has no taste😉
This is my favourite Xerjoff, alongside La Capitale. Have not smelled Richwood, which sounds amazing.
I own this but rich wood to my nose smells like a scrubber!
This review sealed the deal,I've been wanting to pull the trigger on this all morning...bang🔫.Thank you Aaron.
Hi mate,
I discovered you quite recently and man 🤣 your superb. Could you please review Penhaligons portrait collection.
Thanks
Fantastic description Aaron 😍 i love alexandria 2 but what do u think if i want more oud in it can i use pure cambodian oud oil and then layering it by alexandria 2?? It seems good or not?! I need ur magical opinion 🙏🏻♥️
I would dilute the Oud to 1% in 99% Alcohol and apply a tiny bit then layer it. Would be magical then
@@AaronTerenceHughes gr8 idea 👌🏻👌🏻 thx bro 🙏🏻
@aaron terence hughes would like your thoughts on Nishane Nefs, again it is another expensive perfume.
On my skin off the top i get a plasticky oud, rose and a really nice apple note. Then it turns into powder, powder, powder and powder. Then i also found a note of powder and some nuances of powder.
I have the 10ml extract of Alexandria II and it’s amazingly full of Oud
absolutely love this one,its my fav fragrance!!i recently got a 100ml for around 210 pounds(21000rupees) in india.
why would anyone sell it for half the retail price, unless its fake?
