Armani Privé Rose Alexandrie (2008)
by Giorgio Armani

A nice duo of rose and tuberose. You take the tuberose from Cèdre by Serge Lutens, but without the woody cedar. Or animalic tuberose number 3 by Histoire de Parfums and make it free from animalic notes. Than you mix it with a fresh lemony pink rose and voilà - you get the Rose Alexandrie...

Yes, the tuberose makes this parfum more sweet and sultry than you may expext from a rose. If you are a tuberose fan, give it a try. The price is probably the least appealing factor of this perfume.

Rose Alexandrie smelled just like a cherry "SweetTart" (ie a kind of candy). There was absolutely no subtleness about it, nor any rose note that I could ascertain. It is hard to understand how a fragrance house like Armani Privé can create an ethereal iris masterpiece like Pierre de Lune and then simultaneously churn out something this sweet and icky.

From what I’ve been able to find on the internet, here are Rose Alexandrie's notes: bergamot, yellow mimosa, rose and vanilla.
