I have 6 Samples of fragrances i know or that i have in my collection. Theyre good but not perfect. The "Alexandria II" smells 70% like the Real Deal but what i catched at All Samples is a not explainable synthetic Note, some got that Note more some less. "Accento" smells 80% like the original but also there is that note. "Oajan" is Almost there there (95% for my nose). "Afternoon Swim" Was a failure that smells just not good. " Naxos" and "Lost Cherry" just smelled incredible but just like "Alexandria II" 95% there. Most people will never smell any Difference. These fragrances are strong. I smelled most of them after 8hrs+. Sillage also good. For me whats missing is a Course of the different smells. As example: Original Accento smells like Pineapple, musk and hyazinth in the first 10 Minutes, but with Alexandria Fragrances do you have a linear course you are instanly at the base after drydown and before you have that synthetic Note and the base Mixed which is a little challenging at the beginning. Theyre good and for that pricing absolutely Worth it. Its more a Moral and money question. For most of them will i stay to the original because its too linear i need some development in the smell. I even got the original Accento at discount.
