Description
"The invisible city built as a kingdom of divine wood. An amphitheater for the staging of our intoxicating dreams - as a hub of rites in which opulence is celebrated as religion. The incense that glows in dark eyes full of passion. A love letter so long that it could fill an entire library. A river of passion flowing through the middle of a city. The mature Cambodian oud enters our olfactory senses like a queen entering the court to the accompaniment of a gong, leaving a trail more precious than gold.Inspired by the ancient Arabian art of perfumery, Alexandria II is a fragrance steeped in history and rich culture. Alexandria II opens with fruity apple notes that meet floral lavender and rosewood and lead into a classic oriental heart of cedarwood, lily of the valley and Bulgarian rose. Inspired by the thousand-year-old capital, Alexandria II has a warming base note of amber, sandalwood and precious Laotian oud.Fragrance character: Floral, OrientalTop notes: apple, cinnamon, rosewood, lavenderHeart notes: cedarwood, lily of the valley, roseBase notes: ambergris, sandalwood, musk, vanillaOUD STARS: OUD STARS is a fragrance line that is entirely dedicated to the tradition of Arabian perfumery. The line was created using renowned distillation processes of pure oud from plantations in Laos, Cambodia and Borneo. The extensive research into the Oud Stars was done with the intention of creating a special collection, true to the perfume-making traditions of the Arabian world, combined with the luxurious and creative style of Xerjoff perfumes. The names of the perfumes are partly taken from the ancient book """"The Travels of Ibn Battuta"""", which was written in 1325 AD. Ibn Battuta, also known as the Marco Polo of the Arab world, described the life and culture of many North African and Arab cities in his work. He left behind an important written record of this era. Alexandria, Zafar, Al Khatt, Mamluk, Gao and Fars are historical city names that inspired the names of the fragrances. Ceylon and Malesia are historical places that are closely associated with oud."
