SOTM : Alexandria Fragrances - Italian Caramel

Liking this one a lot right off the bat.
Who suggested this one?
Clone of Xerjoff Italica so probably Will suggested it.

Yes, the most realistic lemon you will find. Not sweet at all.... but not really sour either. Smells exactly like fresh cut lemons. And the other note is cypress/cedar, which is just clean (not oudy) wood. Drydown is smooth woods with lemon. It is easily the longest lasting niche citrus I have found, on par with Versace Man Eau Fraiche, but superior quality. I bought 20 mls, will definitely get a fb when it runs out.

Just got back from a run, tons of people out and about walking their dogs, running, and casually strolling around during this lockdown. So weird.

I think you are allowed to partake in outdoor activities as long as you maintain the recommended distance.

Even more than Monsieur Balmain?

I def agree that Profumum goes overboard with the longevity, its almost overkill.

Going through samples SOTM: Roja Harrods Parfum Pour Homme. Different take on a citrus, it smells a bit herbal with citruses. I can see this one categorized as 'mature' or dated but i like it. Im not sure its full bottle worthy for me.

This lockdown has got me in that Groundhog Day zone big time.

SOTD Sweet Smoke.

Been doing housework all weekend since i left work friday. Needed a shower and to feel human.

[IronCharles]

Even more than Monsieur Balmain?

Yes, I would say so. But I only have a vintage bottle, I haven't tried the reformulated Balmain in the square bottle.

MB adds vetiver to the lemon, while Acqua Viva adds redwoods instead. And AV lasts twice as long.

How am I on rep spread with all but 2 of you??

Sup buddy, been a while.

Sotd was Ferragamo Uomo Casual Life.


@darkninja I liked the Italian Caramel a little at first, id have given it a 7.5 because it's a tad synthetic. Still a good rating but I came to a realization that made me dislike this one. I always thought it so familiar and felt like I smelled this before, then one day it just hit me. This is really close to some of those sweeter car freshener scents I've smelled multiple times growing up.

[Coal Man]

sotn: Vintage CH Men. Haven't sprayed this in years, HNNNNGN

[darkninja67]

Coal Man, yeah I'd give Italian Caramel a 7 out of 10.
Tried Sweet Smoke and a few others from the samples I got.
Might pick up the DHI clone they have, Velvet Iris

Isn't it a bit harsh? I've heard people say this.

Speaking of rum n raisin I literally used that to describe a fragrance before. It's honestly one of the smoothest niche quality scent I ever smelled. No harshness, literally an airy yet thick rum n raisin vanilla ice cream with some boss performance.


And it's a Perry Ellis scent lmao. I kid you not on the quality though, Oud Black Vanilla Absolute is the name.

Yes, it is quite strong and very polarising. A lot of noses are offended by it.

I think of it as my selfish scent, and I don't tend to wear it if I'm going anywhere or meeting people I like.


If TF Tobacco Vanille is Ford's interpretation of a London gentlemen's club - which I visualise specifically as a deep leather armchair that has been in said club for a decade - then Tobacco Oud is that same chair, but doubled in age and pipe smoke.

I layer scents maybe 3x a year but this combo is a match made in heaven. The mint in AHSEE plus the minty mojito vibe from ELDO, man this is really nice.
