Good morning, Sam.

Thank you very much for taking a quick minute this Thursday morning to leave us this cracking review.

It is absolutely brilliant to hear that you are enjoying both your 30ml bottle and the 5ml sample pack. Our sample sets are always a fantastic way to explore our different Extrait scent profiles, so I am really pleased you found awesome quality across the whole selection. Delivering that premium, long-lasting quality at a genuinely great price is exactly what we aim for, so having your direct recommendation means a great deal to us.

Thanks again for your custom and the support, mate. Have a great rest of your week.

Cheers,

Dave

Spedizione EU dal prezzo inaccettabile Unacceptable EU shipping cost

Ita🇮🇹
Mi dispiace veramente trovarmi qui a scrivere questa recensione, perché ho acquistato almeno 6 volte da voi e adoro i vostri profumi. Però così come per quelle volte ho messo 5 stelle, sono costretto a lasciare una recensione da 2 a causa dei costi di spedizione. Capisco sia difficile, però più volte in due tre anni mi è stato detto che avreste fatto il possibile per abbassare la spesa di spedizione verso l’Italia, con tanto di email mandata da voi dove dicevate di non preoccuparci noi dell’EU perché stavate lavorando per questo. 21,95€ per una spedizione è davvero troppo e purtroppo ho smesso di acquistare da voi a malincuore. Amo i vostri profumi ma mi auguro che prendiate provvedimenti a riguardo perché temo che perderete molti clienti. Spero un giorno di poter eliminare questa recensione e acquistare di nuovo da voi e che questa intanto vi aiuti a comprendere quanto sia inumano spendere 22€ solo di spedizione.

Eng 🇬🇧
I’m honestly really sorry to be writing this review because I’ve ordered from you at least six times, and I absolutely love your fragrances.
Just like I happily gave you 5 stars every other time, though, I have to leave 2 stars this time because of the shipping costs.
I understand it’s not an easy issue to solve, but over the past two or three years I’ve been told several times that you were doing everything you could to reduce shipping costs to Italy. You even sent an email to your EU customers saying not to worry because you were working on it.
Unfortunately, €21.95 for shipping is just too much. As much as it disappoints me, I’ve had to stop ordering from you because of it.
I genuinely love your fragrances, but I really hope you’ll do something about this because I’m afraid you’ll end up losing a lot of customers.
I hope that one day I’ll be able to delete this review and start ordering from you again. In the meantime, I hope it helps you understand just how unreasonable it feels to pay almost €22 just for shipping.

13/07/2026

I completely understand the challenges you’re facing, but a few months ago, on your own initiative, you emailed all of us in the EU saying that we shouldn’t worry and that you would do everything you could to reduce the excessive shipping costs.
I trusted your promise, waited patiently, and even placed new orders. That’s why it’s disappointing to now see you justify a €22 shipping fee by saying it covers taxes and faster shipping. It honestly feels a bit misleading. You shouldn’t give customers false hope if you already know you won’t be able to follow through on those promises.
You know very well how many potential customers there are in the EU, and how much lowering your shipping costs could significantly increase your customer base. The choice is ultimately yours, but by handling it this way, you’re more likely to lose customers than gain them.

Thank you.

Good morning, Federico.

(To be totally clear, the shipping costs are all displayed before you hit the buy button)

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave this feedback, and for your fantastic support across your previous six orders. It is absolutely brilliant to hear how much you love the fragrances.

I completely understand that seeing €21.95 at checkout is frustrating. I would like to clarify exactly what that covers, as we do not set these rates ourselves. That cost is dictated directly by DHL, and most importantly, it actually includes your EU import VAT.

By paying those taxes upfront within that shipping fee, we ensure your parcel goes straight through Italian customs. It guarantees you are never hit with unexpected duty charges, courier admin fees, or long border delays when it arrives. While standard shipping might look cheaper on the checkout page, this system actually protects our EU patrons from paying much more in hidden fees upon delivery.

We really value your support and hope this explanation helps show that we are always looking out for our European buyers. We would love to welcome you back in the future. Have a great rest of your week, mate.

Cheers,

Dave

The perfumes were of high quality, nice projection and longevity - Forbidden plum is a gem, the others I got them blindly and they were nice but I had similar scents from other houses. The price is unbeatable very happy with the products

Good morning, Santiago.

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us this fantastic review.

It is absolutely brilliant to hear that you are getting such great projection and longevity from the fragrances. Forbidden Plum really is a proper gem, so I am thrilled that one stood out as a firm favourite for you.

It is always a bit of a gamble trying new scents blindly, but I am really pleased you found them to be of such high quality. Because we focus so heavily on using premium materials for our Extrait blends, they often share that luxurious, high-end feel with other top-tier houses. Delivering that level of performance at what you rightly call an unbeatable price is exactly what we aim for.

Thanks again for your custom and the top support, mate. Have a great rest of your week.

Absolutely Terrific - 6 & Counting!

I’ve now tried around six different fragrances from Alexandria Fragrances, and I can honestly say the quality is exceptional across the board.

The standout for me is just how long-lasting their scents are. Unlike many other brands I’ve used in the past, these genuinely stay with you throughout the day and even into the evening. You don’t get that quick fade after a couple of hours – the performance is consistently strong, with great projection and depth.

What’s also impressive is the consistency. Every fragrance I’ve received has felt well-crafted, properly blended, and far more premium than the price point might suggest.

On top of that, their customer service has been excellent. On the rare occasion where there was an issue (a bottle lost or damaged in transit), it was sorted immediately and without any fuss or pushback. That kind of no-quibble resolution really builds confidence as a customer.

All in all, a top-tier experience — high-quality fragrances, superb longevity, and a company that clearly stands behind its products. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Good morning.

Thank you very much for taking the time this Thursday morning to leave such a brilliant, detailed review.

Having you pick up six different bottles from us and rate the quality as exceptional across the board really means a lot to the whole team. It is fantastic to hear that the projection and depth are staying with you from the morning right through to the evening. Delivering that premium, long-lasting wear without the massive designer price tag is exactly why we focus so heavily on our proper Extrait blends.

I am also really pleased we could get that transit hiccup sorted out for you immediately. Making sure our patrons are properly looked after if a parcel gets damaged or lost in the post is a massive priority for us, so I am glad the quick resolution gave you confidence in how we operate.

Thanks again for your ongoing custom and the top recommendation, mate. Have a great rest of your week.

Poor customer service

Unfortunately there was an issue with the delivery and I did not receive the product even though there was a POD of sorts. The reason for the one star is because Dave, the MD, has stopped communicating with me and I have not had a refund or replacement product. Poor customer service. Hoping I wont need to go via my card provider to get my money back

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback this morning.

I appreciate it is frustrating when a parcel cannot be located immediately, but as a business, we must rely on the factual tracking data provided by our shipping partners. We investigated this thoroughly with Royal Mail on your behalf. They provided a comprehensive Proof of Delivery, which includes a photograph of your specific property, a logged signature, and exact GPS coordinates confirming the parcel was successfully delivered to your precise address.

We maintained communication with you right up until this definitive evidence was presented. Once a courier provides undeniable, multi-point proof of a successful delivery, we are unable to absorb the cost of a refund or dispatch a free replacement, which is why the matter was closed on our end.

Should your card provider reach out regarding a chargeback, we will be more than happy to supply them with the Royal Mail GPS data, signature, and photographic evidence to resolve their inquiry.

We wish you all the best.

Cheers,

Dave

Good morning, Antonio.

Thank you very much for taking the time this Thursday to leave us such a brilliant review.

It is absolutely fantastic to hear from a patron who owns the original inspirations, as it makes your comparison incredibly valuable to us and to other buyers. Knowing that our Extrait blends of Oligarch and Louis are hitting that 99% to 100% accuracy mark for you proves that the care we put into our raw materials is really paying off.

I am also really pleased that you are getting such strong projection and a solid 8 to 10 hours of longevity on the skin, especially with those rich citrus notes pushing through for the whole wear. Delivering that premium performance is exactly what we aim for.

Thanks again for your custom and the top support, mate. Have a great rest of your week.

Beautiful quality fragrances & very fast delivery. Only criticism is that one of the bottles hadn’t quite been sealed properly and had leaked into the sample box. Very good apart from that though.

Better than the original perfume by Tom Ford

They are really nice in general and helpful when there are difficulties with the customs (I ordered to Germany). They refunded me all the customs charges like 2 min after I sent the receipt to them. So customer service is peak.
The product I ordered is called citrus splash and it’s even better than the original by Tom Ford. With one pump it lasts at least the whole day while still being smellable.
All in all I definitely would recommend this to anyone who likes smelling nice and doesn’t want to pay an arm and a leg for a nice perfume.

It is absolutely fantastic to hear that Citrus Splash is hitting the mark so perfectly for you. When a patron tells us that our version actually outperforms the original Tom Ford inspiration, it proves that our focus on proper Extrait concentrations and premium raw materials really pays off. Getting a full day of wear from just a single pump is exactly what we aim for.

I am also really pleased we could get those German customs charges refunded and sorted out for you within minutes. Making sure our European patrons are fully looked after and never left out of pocket by unexpected border fees is a massive priority for us.

I bought Fantastic and was surprised

I bought Fantastic and was surprised; it's just as similar to the original. Not at the opening, the real one is more noticeable and brighter, but after a minute they're identical. I was surprised; I keep smelling them, and an hour passes and they're still the same. I have the real one, and at first it's stronger, but after a minute they're the same. I'll see how long it lasts. I'm satisfied with this perfume.

Good morning, Ian.

Thank you very much for taking the time this Thursday to leave us this cracking review.

It is absolutely brilliant to hear your thoughts on Fantastic, especially since you have the original inspiration right there to compare it against. You are spot on about the opening—because we use proper Extrait concentrations rather than standard EDT or EDP formulations, the initial spray can sometimes feel a bit denser. However, as you rightly noticed, once it settles on the skin for just a minute and reaches the dry down, that identical, high-quality scent profile really shines through.

Because of those high-concentration oils, I am very confident you will be well pleased with the longevity as you wear it throughout the day.

Thanks again for your custom and your honest feedback, mate. Have a great rest of your week.

Good evening, Lee.

Thank you ever so much for taking a quick moment this Thursday evening to leave us this smashing feedback.

It is always a genuine pleasure to do business with patrons who appreciate our work. Hearing that you are getting over eight hours of longevity on your skin and receiving so many compliments is absolutely brilliant. We graft hard every single day down at the lab to ensure every single batch is meticulously hand-blended to a strict Extrait de Parfum concentration. Delivering that factual, long-lasting performance using premium heavy oils is our primary focus, so it means the world to know it is hitting the mark for you out in the real world.

Ensuring that standard of quality is securely packed and dispatched from our independent warehouse is what the local team strives for every day.

As you have had such a positive experience with the business, it would mean a great deal to our local team if you could politely head over to Trustpilot and leave a review. I will add a link in the reply email to make it nice and easy for you.

Thanks again for the brilliant support, mate. Have a great rest of your week.

Poor Performance at Premium Prices

Fact-checking owners response:

1. Olfactory fatigue doesn't make you stop smelling a scent on skin at close range (nose to skin) after 1 hour - so you're 1st statement is INCORRECT.

2. My wife was not in the immediate vicinity when I sprayed the perfume on my skin. She smelled it 45 mins after spraying it and couldn't smell a thing - so your 2nd statement is also INCORRECT.

3. If you tested the same batch, you would have known 100% that the performance of your 'extrait' was extremely poor and that CLEARLY something if wrong with your formulation.

4. I never asked for a replacement of the same perfume. I offered to return it to you (AT MY OWN COST) to test it yourself so you could understand how shockingly poor the performance was. Good service in this instance would have been offering an alternative perfume with better performance to correct the poor quality product you sent out to a customer. So your statement of NOT offering a replacement just to "tick a customer service box" is shocking.

Start of original review:

You're probably reading this to see if it's worth taking a risk on buying a fragrance from Alexandria Fragrances - just like I did a few weeks ago.

I decided to take the jump based on Alexandria Fragrances’ claims of strong projection and long-lasting performance due to the 'extrait' concentration of their perfumes.

Long story short - this is not what I received - Far from it.

The scent of if the perfume itself? Great.

But the performance? Shockingly poor. As in the worst performing fragrance I've ever experienced in my life. I can't put in to words how poor the performance is of the perfume I received from Alexandria Fragrances.

My first time ever trying the perfume, the projection lasted around 5 minutes. This was warning sign number 1.

Warning sign 2 was that the fragrance was gone within less than an hour on skin. My first reaction was "Huh? This cant right!".

I thought maybe I had gone nose blind, so I asked my wife to smell my wrist around 45 minutes after spraying it. She said she couldn't smell anything. I tried it on clothes - same result - gone within 2 hours. That is unacceptable for any fragrance, let alone an 'extrait'.

I tested this multiple times on clean skin, moisturised skin, and clothing to give it every possible chance. Same result every time. The smell was gone.

I contacted the company assuming this was a batch issue. I made it very clear that I did NOT want a refund. I was simply expecting them to acknowledge the problem and do the right thing I.e. inspect the returned perfume, confirm the performance was poor, offer a replacement product. Simple. The basics of good customer service.

I even offered to return the bottle (at my own expense) so they could inspect it themselves.

Instead, my concerns were dismissed. FYI, don't expect a fast response from their email customer service. I still haven't received a response to my two emails - I had to contact their WhatsApp number to actually get a reply - this isn't quick either.

I was told the owner had tested the batch himself and that the fragrance is performing 'as intended' and that the issue is likely that I have gone nose blind. Yep. You read that right.

That explanation does not hold up.

A fragrance that disappears within an hour on skin is not performing correctly - and therefore, not fit for purpose.

At that point, the issue became the complete lack of accountability. There was no proper investigation of the perfume I received (the bottle I received itself), no resolution, and no effort to put things right—despite me not even asking for my money back.

All I wanted as a customer was for them to do the basics of any good business - acknowledge that a fault has occurred and try to put it right.

Instead I was told the fragrance is fine and that due to the 'DNA' of the perfume, this is how it should perform. I'm very well aware that some fragrances are room filling and last 8+ hours - while others project for 3-4 hrs. If some of your fragrances are only intended to project for 5 minutes and last an hour on skin, don't advertise the opposite on your website i.e. your perfumes have increased longevity and projection.

As a customer, I told you it projects for all of 5 minutes and lasts on skin for an hour. I told you I didn't want a refund and simply wanted you to rectify this situation for me. I even offered to return the fragrance to you without a refund, and at my own expense. I explained to you I truly wanted you to understand what I mean by lack of performance, not so you could correct it only for myself, but for future customers as well.

I'm really disappointed at how they handled this situation. They've now lost a future customer and custom from those reading this review.

Based on my experience, I would STRONGLY advise others not to purchase from Alexandria Fragrances. Don't get stung like I did.

Thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback. I want to address your points factually so that anyone reading has the full context of how we operate and how fragrance chemistry works.

As we discussed directly, you are experiencing a textbook case of olfactory fatigue. The specific DNA of the fragrance you purchased relies heavily on large aromachemical molecules like Ambroxan. It is scientifically impossible for a proper Extrait concentration to completely evaporate from clothing in under two hours. The scent has not vanished; your olfactory receptors—and those of anyone in the immediate vicinity, like your wife—have simply tuned it out to prevent sensory overload.

As the Managing Director, I personally tested the exact master batch your bottle was poured from. It performs flawlessly and meets our strict manufacturing standards. You kindly offered to return the bottle for a replacement, but sending you another bottle from a perfectly formulated batch would result in the exact same biological reaction for you. It would not solve your issue, which is why a replacement was politely declined.

We do not send out redundant replacements just to tick a customer service box when the science dictates the product is performing exactly as intended.

We stand completely by the premium quality of our Extraits, and we wish you all the best in finding a fragrance house that better suits your skin chemistry.

Cheers,

Dave
