by Alexandria Fragrances
The Best Life by Alexandria Fragrances is a bright, green-tinged fragrance with dominant fig leaf and tea notes, drawing strong comparisons to Davidoff Good Life. It opens with a crisp, astringent fig and green accord that feels medicinal and synthetic to some, though others describe it as smooth and refreshing. The scent evolves with a clean, classical elegance reminiscent of 1990s fresh fig and tea-based fragrances like Bulgari Pour Homme and Creed Silver Mountain Water. It performs best during daytime wear in spring and summer, where its moderate sillage and green complexity shine. Many users note that it takes several weeks to fully mature, with initial notes appearing weak and underdeveloped, but later becoming more balanced and persistent. The fragrance is recommended for casual wear and office settings, though its light projection and moderate longevity mean it won’t dominate the space. Longevity improves significantly with multiple sprays, but even then, it remains more skin scent than bold projection. Overall, it’s a quiet, refreshing choice for those who appreciate green fig and tea nuances but seek a slightly softer or more accessible version of familiar classics.
