I'm glad you like that Tuscan King 👑 it's a beast man. It actually got me out of a speeding ticket. And your secret is hilarious lol. Praying for that new job man!!
Just took delivery Dan. OMG I am bowled over by the quality. Big smiles as I sniffed Citron Del Mar and Boschetti... and Amber Night... and Godfather.... and King Tut 😊
Congrats on the likely job offer. Great review and nice choices. Shout out for Hafez 1984, Dapper 1959, more originals from Alexandria. Brazilia Prive is such a great buy - I concur regarding comparisons to the more expensive PVs and Dua renditions I collected. Not a Tuscan leather fan either but do like Tuscan King. Be picking up a bottle eventually along with Bespoke, their recent Royal Mayfair expression (Creed I slept on sampling, but heart at first sniff). And shout out for Alexandria's sample pack price and the deliciousness, raw power of Fructus Virginis.
Tuscan King is a banger Dan. My wife loves me wearing it . I just got Arabian Forest too, not worn it properly yet but looking forward to it. Fructus Virginis is stellar ,great juice. Deep Blue is a summer fav of mine along with Stanley Beach ( TF Costa Azzura) . Purple Haze is on my next purchase list as well .Dapper 1959 is a fantastic barbershop frag. Great video Dan . 👍
I heard you rave about Givenchy Insensé in several of your videos. I wore Insensé in the 90s and I love it, unfortunately it has long since been discontinued. It's so unique and even though I haven't smelled it in decades, I can still remember exactly how it smells. Now, AF has a clone of Insensé (Hysteria) which I never heard anyone ever talk about. Maybe that could be an idea for a video?
Really enjoy Alexandria fragrance's and will certainly be buying more. Their Amber Nuit is the sh*zzle. Great intro music it's banging. Their Deep Blue is absolutely spot on to Aqua Celestia.
@@mikewhiting4986 A lot of people say it's one of their best. However, I can't smell it as well as I can of the Byredo version. I get whiffs of it here and there, but Byredo's is something I can smell all day. So, for me, it's a pass, I'm actually going to try and sell my bottle and then buy the Byredo version.
I own Hafez , Vanille Doree and LOVE them !!! I am very interested in the Tuscan King.....great idea to combine the 2 scents !!! Also, Purple Haze is a must try for me. Thanks....great video...I am a new suscriber !!!!
Yeah great video Dan!! I have a couple of their scents and wasn't really impressed. Few weeks later things have changed quite a bit....good change! I'll pick all these up next week. Sounds good! Thanks!
thanks for your awesome videos! I wonder if you can help me with this; is the tuscan king just that you smell tuscan leather and sometimes Aventus or does it become sort of a new smell altogether?
Ordered casanova and africano, I ve tried a sample of africano and had to get a full bottle , love midsummers dream hope Alexandria s take is good🤞 Thanks for the code dan saved me a few bob cheers !
A friend of mine ordered an expensive fragrance (Zion) at their website. A few days later it arrived to him in a shattered Alexandria mug. In a reaction they said that with the next order (!) they would look into it... It seem they have enough money to provide youtubers with free samples, but replacing a shattered mug is too much. Don't think there will be any next orders...
I've seen them replace orders that were made with them and damaged in shipping with no issue. And Zion is no more expensive ($63)than any of their other products
A clearly biased comment. I have ordered several fragrances from this house and they are professional and polite. There certainly will be some replacement.
After reviewing my profile on Facebook, Jack Makinson. I'm having a challenge finding my Top 5 summer and winter fragrances, either desighner or niche, that would compliment my notes preference and personalty . My preferred notes are: Iris, Orris Root, Cardomom, Ambergris, Benzoin, Aldehydes, Vetiver, Opopomax, Styax, Rose, Oud, Sandalwood, Bergamote, Birch Tar, Civet, finally, Gardenia. Whoa, long list. Maybe we sould this either through email or Facebook Messenger.
Great video Dan. Could I ask your opinion on whether you need to leave these bottles standing for a few weeks to "ruminate" before they settle and smell as they are supposed to? I have heard this a lot in the forums but have no idea if it is necessary. Thanks.
Tried Arabian Forest: not bad! Very close, maybe not quite as citrusy as the original (you know what I am talking about, the citrus that goes through the mid as secondary note), but still!
I think congratulations are in order Dan!! I enjoy following Robes08 from Canada as he has a good sense of humor and personality as do you. FWIW your last 2 videos have double the watches and more than double the likes as expressed by his followers/. BTW, I only purchase recommended Scents based on your advice. The Congregation has formed and we are ready for Sunday morning Services. Thank you again.
Has anyone tried Alexandria’s Malibu Beach? I believe it’s their version of Amouge Beach Hut Man. I’d love to hear about the performance and projection.
Really like your videos but you rarely ever have the original to compare the clone to. Pretty important part when you want to know how close it to the fragrance it’s inspired by.
I bought in April decant set from USA... But not yet arrived at destination (Italy) due to customs problems... Do you know if Alexandria UK sell and send to Italy?
Greetings Mr. Smelly. Have yet to try an Alexandria, but plan too soon. How would you compare Arabian Forest's performance to Spice and Wood? I have the Creed, and enjoy it very much. Longevity is satisfactory, but the projection is slightly lacking.... Let's Project!!! 💨💨💨💨
Hi Kerino. I find that Arabian Forest performs very similarly to the Creed. Good longevity and decent projection but I agree it's not a huge projector.
Thanks for this list! I was looking at Alexandria Fragrances but couldn't decide what to get. Now that the discount code is up I just have to get at least one bottle
Skrzyp Polny I stared with a sample pack 7x50buck for .05 oz prive is the best of the aventus I spend a sample trying to figure out which one of the aventus samples they have 4 of them Brasília Brasília smoke prive Tuscan king witch is a blend... prive is hands down the best one... and Zion is raja Elysium broooooooooo dont even get the sample of this get the 60ml worth it the blind buy
For the most part I would say these are unisex. Brasilia Prive is based on Aventus which is marketed towards men and Hafez 1984 arguably leans a bit masculine. All fragrances are unisex imho!
I bought two perfume from Alexandria. Yes, they smell good but don't even last 15 mins on my skin or clothes. Waste of 120 dollars. I do not recommend it.
Dear Mr. Smelly, I tried to use the "Dan20" code on the Parfums Vintage website (USA), and it wouldn't take it, saying it was invalid. Did I put it in right?
6) Deep Blue
5) Fructus Virinus
4) Hafez 1984
3) Brasilia Prive
2) Arabian Forest
1) Tuscan King
I'm glad you like that Tuscan King 👑 it's a beast man. It actually got me out of a speeding ticket. And your secret is hilarious lol. Praying for that new job man!!
Fructus virgin has the most amazing opening ever ....it's like a fruty cherry tart with a smooth vanilla like and creamy almond 9/10
Dan you're the funniest guy in fragrance chats. 😂

Thanks a lot Michael! I must try Bespoke.
Great video! I’m also looking for a job as of now. Pray for me and I will pray for you. Hopefully it’s more effective than praying for ourselves
Malibu Beach, their clone of Amouage Beach Hut Man, is PERFECT! Such a great soapy, ivy, summer scent ✅
Great to hear about Tuscan King, and Thankyou for the code- one new customer
Thanks Richard. I hope you enjoy it.

Tuscan King and Hafez 1984 I have and love them...I will check out the rest
Thanks I hope you can try them!

Thanks Mike. Deep Blue is superb.
I do not own any from this house, but maybe I should. Watching the #1 pick, I layered two clones. Interesting. Never woulda thunk:).
Excellent stuff mate, need to try more of these, hope they’re as nice as you say.
Casanova a 'nice' woods vibe, Deep Blue 'nice' good working summer, aquatic frag🤙
I've got two from AF, Africano and Alexandria Port. The Port is very good and dead on to TF's version, but lasts MUCH longer.
How is the Africano? I've been looking into that one as of late along with a few others.

Digging the trap remix of your intro song, it fits better with your thug persona
Ha ha thanks a lot Jessie. You're right.
Daamn the bottles look so beautiful 😍
We love Alexandria support from Senegal 🇸🇳
Wanting to smell Casanova
Good job 👏 Dan !!!
Thanks so much Diawara! Greetings to you in Senegal.
Yeah great video Dan!! I have a couple of their scents and wasn't really impressed. Few weeks later things have changed quite a bit....good change! I'll pick all these up next week. Sounds good! Thanks!
Thanks Gregory. I really like their frags!
thanks for your awesome videos! I wonder if you can help me with this; is the tuscan king just that you smell tuscan leather and sometimes Aventus or does it become sort of a new smell altogether?
I think it is very easy to discern both fragrances within it but it becomes something unique all of its own.
Thanks. I'll be buying samples of these and buying entire bottles of the ones that I like.
Spot on again 💪 I'm ordering as soon as my little input is expressed. Thanks for getting the discount code.
Thanks Mike!
Ordered casanova and africano, I ve tried a sample of africano and had to get a full bottle , love midsummers dream hope Alexandria s take is good🤞 Thanks for the code dan saved me a few bob cheers !
That’s great Gary. I hope you enjoy them.
Gary Flint please let us know what yours thoughts on Casanova
I do enjoy the Fructose V but came across a little feminine to my nose.
Excellent video bro 👊
Thank you Danny,
Such wonderful fragrances at affordable prices.
for people on budgets-
Dan, now I need to go job hunting as well so I can afford being a subscriber. All these new fragrances to try. Great content! Always enjoy the intros!

was the mug a freebie or paid for?

Great video! Have you gotten your nose on Egyptian Seduction from Alexandria? It’s an original. I’ve gotten a sample and it’s fantastic
this is my most complimented scent from the house

Thanks Mehdi. I hope you can try these.

What about hawaii volcano (virgin island water)? Or is Gorse better?
Best intro ever!!!
Hmmmm...Brasilia Prive and Tuscan King. Guess I´ll give those a shot! :D
Brazilia prive how is it compared to la'venture by Al haramaine?
Tuscan king or Bitter soft. Wich one is more similar to Tom ford tuscan leather? I have bitter soft and i like it. Are these 2 smells like each other?

Have you ever tried White Zest?
Good REVIEW,But IVE Got nearly 600 FRAGRANCES, Layer for years,I would not purchase TUSCAN KING..LOL
Has anyone tried Alexandria’s Malibu Beach? I believe it’s their version of Amouge Beach Hut Man. I’d love to hear about the performance and projection.
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day
Thanks a lot Michael.
You welcome keep up the good work
Really like your videos but you rarely ever have the original to compare the clone to. Pretty important part when you want to know how close it to the fragrance it’s inspired by.
I’m really interested to try either Alexandra or Dua fragrances. In your opinion which house is best? I hear a lot of good things about Dua.
They are both really close. Their black phantom and tuxedo clones and 95% identical
Alexandria is better in my opinion.
I wish the code worked on your whole purchase 😭
Have you tried their Bois du Portugal clone? Is it worth a blind buy?
I bought in April decant set from USA... But not yet arrived at destination (Italy) due to customs problems... Do you know if Alexandria UK sell and send to Italy?
they do yes

Thamks Alex. You cannot gor wrong with Brasilia Prive!
Do you classify these as unisex ? If not, which are for men, and which are for women.
For the most part I would say these are unisex. Brasilia Prive is based on Aventus which is marketed towards men and Hafez 1984 arguably leans a bit masculine. All fragrances are unisex imho!
Typical British humour... I like it! :D
You'r the best 🖒💪
Thanks Ayman.
Hafez1984 is very much in the same vein as Mancera Red Tobacco.
I have heard that they are similar.
brasalia prive or emperor extrait ??
paranoidace1 emperor

Parfums Vintage is a completely different company .
@@MrSmelly1977 You're right. Lol! Sorry for the flub.
You are so funny!! Hahaha
You really like birch. I'm not sure this is the least bit objective.
😎👍
Thanks AH.
how can you tell the fragrance that they are cloning
