The inspiration of the fragrance:

January 1837, St. Petersburg, Russia

"On a frosty winter afternoon, a fiery gentleman finishes his toilette by dabbing on a preparation of Neroli and Violet. He draws down his cuffs, dons a heavy fur and strides out in polished leather boots. As he rides off on his sleigh, the woody scent of Fir fills the air. Beyond the snow-laden trees, on a clearing bathed in amber light, the fateful duel awaits."

The main notes of the fragrance are the following: Neroli, Violet Leaf, Fir Balsam, Russian Leather. Aleksandr was launched in 2012.

I am Russian, live in Moscow and IMHO - this is the first real "russian theme" fragrance after all "Russian leathers" and "Ambre Russe's"! Harmony of notes. Very spiritual, not heavy and not brutal. Real "Russian calm landscape" spirit.
In details: "Yes! – my inner voice said. – This is the first scent of authentic Russian atmosphere - (among all these “Russian leathers”, “Cuir russe”, “Ambre russe” etc) – the atmosphere of the Golden Age of the imperial Russia. It does contain base ethereal elements of its great spacious decoration: the spirit of the Russian aristocracy with its ambivalent note of optimistic melancholy, the fresh spirit of vast Russian winter landscapes with its subtle note of the special Russian nostalgia for… who knows?.. something beyond cut off… I do know the winter scent of St. Petersburg outskirts and after the first sniff I’ve imagined immediately an aristocratic saunter along the river beach in a snowy forest… Only then I discovered the inner theme of the fragrance in its description… Wow! How these Mexico City resident manages to catch the point of so far alien epoch and reality?! And what is the theme “Aleksandr in 1837”? No doubt – this is the last month of Aleksandr Pushkin life. May be exactly the day of his duel near the Chernaya (Black) river – the apotheosis of honor. One of the most dramatic day of the Russian culture… but Pushkin is the most positive character in our history and a symbol of huge optimism. So it is the perfect hit the target! Besides all ALEKSANDR is one of the best gentleman’s fresh day fragrances for any case and any season with light but very distinct sillage and good longevity.
