Why this match
The maker says it copies this
The company that makes this fragrance says on its own product page that it copies the original. That tells you what they set out to match — not how close they got. It is their sales pitch, so we link it and let you judge, but nobody independent has confirmed it smells alike.
Editor's note
Alexandria sells this as 'Inspired By Dior Homme Intense' and the powdery iris heart over sweet lavender is the right accord. The opening is more muted than the Dior and the drydown carries less of its animalic leather, but longevity is the strong point, with buyers reporting all-day wear.
