In the world of niche perfumery, dominated by European and Middle Eastern houses, the emergence of the Vietnamese brand Alex was a true event.
Its No.1 fragrance is a bold statement, combining classic masculine elegance with an unexpected freshness.
Released as an eau de parfum, it belongs to the aromatic and woody fragrance families and is positioned as a men's fragrance.
Alex No.1 opens with an invigorating citrus-green accord: sparkling bergamot intertwines with a juicy green accord.
At the heart, a refined coniferous note of pine unfolds, complemented by spicy geranium and aromatic thyme.
The base is a deep woody foundation of cedar, smoky-earthy patchouli, and damp vetiver.
This fragrance is for men who appreciate classic style but are not afraid to stand out.
It has a very strong sillage and excellent longevity, making it ideal for evening outings, formal occasions, or cooler weather.
Thanks to its versatility, Alex No.1 will be a faithful companion for a wide range of occasions, from business meetings to romantic dates.
If you enjoyed Alex No.1, consider these kindred compositions: Van Cleef & Arpels Tsar, The Spirit of Dubai Abraj, and Loewe Esencia Coleccion Eternamente.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The Alex No. 1 composition is built around the contrast between freshness and warmth. The top notes—bergamot and a green accord—provide a sparkling, cool opening.
At the heart, geranium adds a spicy nuance, while pine and thyme create a resinous, herbaceous accent. A base of cedar, patchouli, and vetiver provides a lasting, earthy-woody character.
