Alexandria Fragrances - Sweet Revenge

Launched in 2017, Sweet Revenge (“Revenge”) wears on me as an oriental woody vanilla.  The name of the fragrance seems appropriate.  While the notes are filled with ones typical of an angelic, sweet gourmand, there is a spicy woodiness to the wear that shows a slightly devilish side.

Revenge opens with a spicy vanilla.  The vanilla is not overly sweet or cloying on me.  In the beginning of wear Alexandria adds a lot of depth to the traditional vanilla-based fragrance with woodsy notes.  The first hour of wear is a rich, warm, spiced vanilla wood journey. 

As Revenge continues to wear, the fragrance takes on a slight feel of pipe tobacco on me.  I get a deeper, creamier spiced vanilla and a burnt sugar much like the top of a creme brulee.  It is a lightly powdered white chocolate which softens and adds creaminess to the fragrance but does not overly sweeten it.

Revenge dries down to an exquisite softly projecting skin scent on me at about 8 – 9 hours.  The wear continues until roughly the 10 hour mark.
