Shalimar: the history of the first amber fragrance

Ronza d'Ambre Alexander II is a unisex fragrance from the French brand Ronza d'Ambre, launched in 2024.
It is an eau de parfum with a distinctive woody-fougère character and a noticeable fruity nuance.
The composition is ideal for those who enjoy fragrances with strong sillage, rich depth and a pronounced presence.
Alexander II does not try to go unnoticed.
Its mood is built on the contrast between a fresh opening, green coolness and a warm, deep base, making the fragrance feel composed, distinguished and lively at the same time.
The unisex positioning feels natural here: on one person's skin, the composition may come across as strict and masculine, while on another it may feel softer, warmer and more elegant.
In the first few minutes, the fragrance makes a fresh impression with a light citrus spark and a cool herbal nuance.
Then the scent becomes more expansive: green and fruity facets soften the woody framework, adding juiciness and airiness to the composition.
What makes this development especially interesting is the combination of an energetic opening with a calm, solid base.
In character, Alexander II can be classified as a fougère, fruity and woody fragrance.
It is suitable for business settings, evening occasions and situations when you want to emphasize confidence without excessive sweetness.
Thanks to its richness, the fragrance feels especially natural in cool weather, during the transitional seasons and in the evening, but with moderate application it can also be adapted for daytime wear.
Ronza d'Ambre Alexander II has very strong sillage, so it should be applied carefully.
A small amount on the pulse points is enough for the composition to unfold gradually and remain noticeable throughout the day.
On clothing, the scent may last even longer and feel denser, so it is best to consider the size of the room and the proximity of others before applying it.
No specific application recommendations for skin or clothing have been stated for this release.
A practical approach is to start with one spray on the skin and assess the intensity after 15–20 minutes, once the opening notes have given way to the heart.
If necessary, the amount can be increased, but with such powerful sillage, caution usually works better than applying the maximum dose.
Ronza d'Ambre Alexander II showcases the brand's expressive approach to unisex perfumery.
This is not a light everyday spray, but a full-fledged eau de parfum for those who value character, depth and a noticeable trail.
The lack of information about the perfumer and its affiliation with a specific collection does not detract from the main point: this is a cohesive composition focused on freshness, woodiness and a warm amber base.
Those drawn to the idea of a contrasting woody fragrance with strong projection may want to explore Dior Fahrenheit, Lalique Lalique Pour Homme and City Parfum City 3D Sport.
They are not exact copies of Alexander II, but may appeal through a similar mood of composure, expressiveness and a noticeable presence.
Ultimately, Ronza d'Ambre Alexander II remains an independent choice for women and men who want their fragrance to stand out as part of their overall look.
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.

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 top notes of Ronza d'Ambre Alexander II open with bergamot, lavender, and peach wood. The opening combines citrus freshness, a cool herbal nuance, and a soft woody accent.
In the heart, apple blossom, calamus, cedar, and watermelon unfold. This accord brings together sheer green notes, a juicy fruity facet, and a drier woody texture.
The base is built around amber, patchouli, and sandalwood. It makes the fragrance warmer, deeper, and more long-lasting, leaving a rich woody-amber trail.
The complete pyramid combines amber, citrus, fruity, green, and woody notes, along with fougère, fruity, and woody fragrance families.
