How others read it
PraisePraised for tart fruit, rose and leather balance. Loved as a seductive, modern, upscale unisex scent. Alexandria page reviews are strongly positive but limited in number.
CriticismSome may find the fruit/leather contrast polarizing. High price of the original target. Official page perfumer attribution has an internal conflict.
Comparison notesCompare by fruity leather rose/patchouli structure. Do not treat it as a generic leather fragrance; the red fruit and rose are central.
