La Fumée Alexandrie

Miller Harris · £190

A clear glass bottle of La Fumée Alexandrie eau de parfum with a black cap and cream label.

It’s good, but this is close and much better value: Czech & Speake Dark Rose, £160 provisional

Rose, oud and incense converging into a smoky rose, and it is a well judged version of a register that is hard to get right. At £190 for 100ml it is the dearest thing in the category outside Floris, and the house next to it does the same idea for less. Czech & Speake price their rose and oud at £160 and state a higher oil concentration than the rest of their range.

For
Someone who wants smoke as well as rose and oud, and will pay for the specific one.
Not for
Anyone comparing rose and oud on value, where the Czech & Speake is £30 less at the same size.

What we checked

Marked provisional: the justification rests on 1 source(s); two independent ones is the bar. We publish it anyway and say so, rather than waiting for evidence that may never arrive.
