Alexandria’s 007
by Alexandria Fragrances
Alexandria's 007 is a bold, intensely spiced gourmand fragrance built around cardamom, cinnamon, coffee, and nutmeg. It opens with a powerful burst of cardamom and spiced coffee, delivering an immediately striking and attention-grabbing presence with strong projection and long-lasting performance. The scent feels rich and dark, with a smooth, sweet-and-spicy drydown that lingers through the day and into the night. Many users appreciate its unisex nature and suitability for colder seasons, noting that it meshes well with other fragrances in layering. While some users describe it as a near-perfect match to By Kilian Intoxicated—especially in the opening and overall profile—others note subtle divergences in drydown, where it leans more toward a candy-sweet cardamom syrup than the deeper, more soapy cola of the original. Still, it stands on its own as a strong, emotionally impactful scent, with consistently praised longevity and sillage.
Pros
- +Exceptional longevity and strong projection, lasting 7+ hours with arm's length presence
- +Unisex appeal and strong, memorable performance that draws attention without being overwhelming
- +Excellent for layering, especially with woody or tobacco-rich fragrances, enhancing their warmth and depth
Cons
- −Strong opening can feel harsh or too dense for those who prefer subtle or restrained scents
- −Some users find the drydown leans too sweet or cologne-like, lacking complexity beyond the core spice-sugar notes
- −While the overall profile is powerful and bold, it may feel more like a clone than a completely original creation for fans of the original Intoxicated or A*Men
