Alexandria Port
by Alexandria Fragrances
Alexandria Port is a fresh, citrus-forward fragrance that captures the essence of Tom Ford's Neroli Portofino with superior longevity and performance. It opens with a bright, clean burst of bergamot, lemon, mandarin, and bitter orange, creating a subtly soapy, almost detergent-like effect that many users find refreshing. The heart blends neroli, orange blossom, and egyptian jasmine, delivering a delicate floralcy that remains light and non-aggressive. As it dries down, a soft, musky amber base enhances the wearability, leading to a slight warm sweetness reminiscent of well-worn linen or sun-kissed skin. The scent performs exceptionally well in warm weather, maintaining a moderate to strong sillage throughout the day with lasting power up to 8–10 hours on skin and even longer on clothes. It's ideally suited for summer days, beach walks, or casual outings, and is favored by those seeking a clean, unobtrusive yet satisfying scent that doesn't impose. Some find the initial soapy quality off-putting, but most agree it evolves into something pleasant and highly wearable.
