Alexandria Fragrances - Arabian Jasmine
Alexandria Fragrances has built a reputation for offering niche-quality scents at accessible prices, and Arabian Jasmine is a prime example of their approach. Created by perfumer Hany Hafez, this unisex extrait de parfum takes its name from the beloved jasmine of Egypt, but it’s not a soliflore. Instead, Arabian Jasmine is a vibrant citrus-floral blend that opens with a burst of Mediterranean citrus before settling into a creamy, white-floral heart and a soft, musky-woody base.
Released at an unknown date, Arabian Jasmine has become a staple in the brand’s lineup. It’s available only as an Extrait de Parfum, offering good longevity of six hours or more with a close, intimate sillage. Priced between $19 and $44.99, it delivers impressive value for a fragrance with this level of complexity.
In this review, we’ll break down the notes, performance, and overall wearability of Arabian Jasmine, helping you decide if this bright, unisex scent belongs in your collection.
