Alexander The Great Alexandria Fragrances (Fragrantica reviews) (opens in a new tab)The smell is there. But, it simply doesn't last like the real thing. Which is sad because this is a tough one to find good dupes of. They would have hit a home run it if it was simply stronger and more concentrated.

Alexander The Great Alexandria Fragrances (Fragrantica reviews) (opens in a new tab)for the price, I ordered its clone here. Smells okay, but has no staying power at all. It is just a skin scent on me.
