Zion

Zion by Alexandria Fragrances is a crisp, aromatic citrus and woody scent that leans toward a fresh, masculine-professional profile. It opens with a bright citrus burst of grapefruit, lemon, lime, and bergamot, blending into a lush mid-phase of apple, black currant, pink pepper, and cedar. The dry down reveals a smooth, sweet ambergris and vanilla base with vetiver and leather, yielding a well-balanced, modern fragrance. Most users report it performs best in warm weather, and while longevity is consistently cited as moderate, with typical projection lasting 3 to 4 hours, the scent can linger on clothing for up to 12 hours and is often described as having a subtle yet effective sillage that can attract compliments even in office settings. Although not a perfect clone, it is widely considered one of the most accessible and authentic alternatives to Roja Dove Elysium, offering a similar citrus-ambergris-vetiver DNA with notably better performance and higher value for its price. However, some users note the scent fades quickly, feeling like a skin scent after 10 to 20 minutes, and a few report it smelling synthetic or overly dominant in vetiver after a few hours.
