In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Alexandria Anniversary opens bright and sparkling, with citrus and aldehydes giving it a polished lift before softer florals and a resinous woody base take over. It reads as a layered unisex scent, fresh at first, then warmer, smoother, and slightly powdery as it settles.

Reviews →

Marc Jacobs Cocktail Splash Ginger delivers an immediate kick of grated root ginger, spiked coriander, and a splash of mellow cognac. It smells like a chilled glass of craft ginger beer garnished with tart rhubarb and floral geranium. The fragrance stays light, refreshing, and crisp. You will not find heavy syrup here…
