Super stuff
Some time ago I tested Alex2 and couldn't understand why it was so popular. The rose was far too present for me, the oud too little and overall it lacked oomph. In short, I opted for an Amouage that day which had exactly what I was looking for and wasn't softened by a rose.
A few months later, I was browsing Parfumo and came across Alex Orientale by chance. My interest was immediately piqued and I was once again so crazy that I ordered it blind.
What can I say, there it was, the Alexandria for men, without the floral scent, but with a nice subtle leather note, woods and plenty of oud. I was/am very enthusiastic about the fragrance. The first 15-20 minutes are strong and demanding, but for me it's a far cry from cowshed. After that it is simply fantastic. It wraps itself warmly, creamily and stylishly around its wearer and gives him a good feeling and a good time. I don't always notice it, but every few minutes it hits my nose and I'm always surprised at how great it smells.
2 sprays are all you need to stand out quickly, anything more can be intrusive and annoy people. Even with the two sprays, I've been told that I'm a bit over-perfumed.
The bottle is, of course, typical for Xerjoff.
Best regards

Dark old leather
I love many Amouage fragrances, they have something heavy, often something dark and are simply a must for me in fall/winter and early spring.
Initially I was quite disappointed with the Epic in terms of longevity, I got the new version in the flat packaging. Well I wore it a few times and put it in my closet without bothering as summer was coming and I wasn't in the mood for this scent.
Now the cold and darker season came again and I was looking forward to it... of course I sprayed it on and was once again amazed at how well it had developed in just under 6 months, the leather became deeper, darker and simply great. For example, a TF Ombre Leather smells like a new leather jacket with a slight sweetness, that's exactly what the Epic does better in my opinion, it smells like old used and greased leather, with a great incense note in the background. The H/S is also good today and lasts around 8 hours. I'm currently wearing it with about 5-6 spritzes.
The bottle is typically Amouage high-quality, classy and timeless.
I would definitely recommend this fragrance and buy it again.

Heavy but high quality coconut
I stood once again in the perfumery and looked around for a new great fragrance, I reached as so often before in the shelf with the Creedflakons, sprayed me VIW on my wrist and looked further.
After about an hour of sniffing I decided on DURO by Nasomatto, yes I really liked it.
My girlfriend and I back to the car and off home. On the whole drive the coconut rose in my nose and I started to like it, well arrived home I tested my grad purchased DURO and I was very happy with it. A few days later we were with friends, the lady of the house had a fragrance lamp in the living room with a coconut scent in it..... Of course I immediately thought of Virgin Island Water and somehow knew I had to go the next day to buy it. No sooner said than done, the next morning I got in the car and went to the perfumery I trust. Without testing I took the package from the shelf, went to the cashier and paid.
Back home I sprayed it on and was satisfied.
After some time bothered me what at the fragrance, the coconut was always and almost alone very present, that was also ok but somehow this fragrance has an undertone that gives me a slight headache and what I was not really satisfied. The next time I took only 2 spritz what me completely sufficient.
I find the fragrance quite strong, he has a good shelf life of 7-8 hours with me. Whether I would buy it again? No I think not, it is a fragrance I use only very sparingly at 30 degrees and more, at these temperatures he is nice but when it is colder I feel him as annoying and partly maybe even a bit penetrating for the wearer! Outsiders people seem to perceive him as pleasant as I could hear it out.

Somehow magical the good
I got a sample here some time ago and was quite excited about the fragrance. Now this sample is unfortunately empty and I ordered me a bottle. The Molecule is already somehow funny but also magical, I do not know. I like the scent extremely well, the durability is also very good with 10 hours and more. I spray quite a lot of it (10-15 spritzes) and sometimes I just don't smell anything but then 30-60 minutes later it starts, I get the first gush of ISO-E SUPER in my nose and I'm happy like a kid who just got an Ü-egg. It comes and goes as it pleases. My girlfriend almost never smells it and most people I ask smell very little to nothing. I don't care that others don't seem to notice it because I am extremely happy when I smell it myself in short intervals, for me it is fresh, slightly woody and yes I don't know, it is difficult to describe. You can wear it at any time and everywhere in my opinion.
115€ I find for it, however, a bit expensive why I have perceived an offer and thus I got it for 85€, the price I find for it in order.
I would definitely buy it again to enjoy it.
Write but times as a comment how many splashes you take so, I would be very interested.
I hope this post is written for you reasonably reasonable, I'm not the great storyteller and write mostly just the most important without much Schnick-Schnack. If you have there suggestions for improvement gladly out with it.
Thanks for reading and best regards

Smells like an old oily machine
I stood in the perfumery about 6 months ago and looked around. I was looking for something fancy, nothing that the general public would wear. Then I came across this little scent and found it somehow great. So not long thought and bought. When I got home I presented it to my girlfriend, who had a funny face. Well, I wore it two or three times and never really felt comfortable. I had the feeling I was disturbing the people around me with this scent. It smells to my nose like an old oily machine. I always have to think about it when I smell it. Since then I don't use it anymore and I only want to sell it. Too bad...
The durability is extremely good, which is still present the next day
