Alexandre J Perfume

There’s More to Alexandre J Than Just Pretty Bottles

Alexandre J is a perfume house that focuses on art, design and perfume. You can tell by looking at their packaging.

Their bottles from The Collector range have beautiful finishes and colours. Some even come in fancy boxes that resemble those of collector’s items. However, the perfumes themselves are worth noting as well. From musk, rose, oud and amber to fruits and vanilla, they all have their place in the collection.

But what’s fascinating about Alexandre J is that these ingredients can be found in unexpected ways. There can be caramel in a musk perfume. Coconut in an oud perfume. And citrus in a rose perfume.

So, next time you’re shopping for an Alexandre J perfume, know what to expect from inside the bottle.

What Morning Muscs Smells Like

When you smell a peach, it’s sweet and has a soft smell to it. Add some caramel to that and you have...

Well, that’s not what you’d expect from a perfume called Morning Muscs. But there are notes of peach and caramel in Alexandre J Morning Muscs Eau de Parfum.

Citrus notes of mandarin and grapefruit can also be found alongside the peach and caramel. Russian rose, Turkish rose, violet and patchouli round out the fragrance.

Musk and moss sit at the base. So there is musk in this perfume, but there’s more to it than that. Fruit, sweet and floral notes with a touch of something earthy.

If you’re looking for a simple, fresh musk perfume, then Morning Muscs may not be for you.

Black Muscs Isn’t Just Morning Muscs but Darker

You may think that because two perfumes have similar names, they smell alike. Morning Muscs and Alexandre J Black Muscs Eau de Parfum both have musk in them.

But that’s where the similarities end. Black Muscs starts off with bergamot and lemon. Violet, patchouli and rose can be found in the middle, with amber and musk at the base.

What’s not in this perfume?

Peach and caramel, which you’ll find in Morning Muscs. Black Muscs has fresh citrus, floral and amber notes.

Although the name may lead you to believe it’s a darker perfume, the citrus will give it a lighter start. If you like musk perfumes, try both and see which one you prefer.

Zafeer Oud Vanille Smells Sweeter Than You’d Think

Oud is known for having woody notes. Vanilla is usually a sweet note. When you combine the two, you get Alexandre J Zafeer Oud Vanille. But there’s another note that will surprise you.

Coconut.

With notes of caramelised vanilla, you can expect this perfume to smell sweeter than its name suggests. The oud will give it some woodiness. Just imagine how vanilla smells when it’s paired with wood instead of floral or fruity notes.

If you like sweeter perfumes and want to try an oud, then Zafeer Oud Vanille is a good one to try.

Rose Oud Is a Combination of Two Scents

Rose is a common note that many people know the smell of. Oud, on the other hand, may not be as familiar. Rose can smell sweet and floral. It can also have a fresh smell to it. Oud can smell woody and warm. Or it can be darker, depending on the perfume.

Alexandre J Rose Oud combines these two notes and has lemon as well.

As you can see, a rose perfume doesn’t always have to smell like roses. And an oud perfume can have other notes that aren’t woody.

If you don’t usually like rose perfumes because they’re too floral, try a rose and oud combination.

Golden Oud Is Different from Rose Oud

You may think that Rose Oud and Golden Oud are the same except for the type of rose used. Or the amount of oud.

Alexandre J Golden Oud is described as a woody fragrance with citrus, followed by rose and vanilla, then oud and woody notes.

So there are a few different scents that go into this perfume. Citrus, floral, sweet and woody. Make sure to read the description of the perfume before you buy one.

The Collector vs The Elixir Collector

Something to keep in mind when shopping for Alexandre J perfume. The Collector range consists of Morning Muscs, Black Muscs, Rose Oud, Golden Oud, Zafeer Oud Vanille and many others.

They now also have The Elixir Collector range, which has some of the same names but with added notes.

• Black Muscs II now has black cherry.
• Rose Oud II has raspberry.
• Golden Oud II has passion fruit.
• And Morning Muscs II focuses more on peach.

So, if you’re buying a replacement for one of your favourites, make sure you know which range you’re buying from.

It could mean the difference between getting the same perfume or not.

It May Look Fancy but Won’t Necessarily Smell That Way

Another thing about Alexandre J is that they focus on their packaging, which can be beautiful, but the perfume inside may not be what you’re looking for.

You may like the look of one bottle but smell another and love that more. Maybe you like the smell of peach and rose in Morning Muscs. Or the citrus, rose and amber in Black Muscs.

Someone else may like the sweet oud and vanilla in Zafeer Oud Vanille. There are many to choose from, so find the one that suits you best.
