Description

“The interplay between three unique accords, each lending a distinct and visceral characteristic. The “breeze” accord, jasmine and saffron, sits sheer and delicately spiced on the skin, leading way for the cedar-driven blend of woods that make up the robust and crackling “heat” accord. Finally, a “mineral” accord of ambergris seems simultaneously warm and cool. This fragrance is one of a kind and it is meant to be in the hands of only those who enjoy perfume as an art.” – a note from the brand.

Interplay was launched in 2017. The nose behind this fragrance is Hany Hafez.

    this is the only alexandria clone i own that i like but i still like Casino Royale more.
    Longevity is ok (4-5 hours on skin, 6-7 on clothes)
    it’s a lot like BR540, this is a little more balsamic than Casino Royale so it’s slightly different but in the air they smell the same (along with BR540)
    Overall though I’m giving up on Alexandria Fragrances, I’ve purchased 3 bottles (received one for free so i have 4) and only 1 of them (this one) i actually enjoy but not that much.
    Dunno how they get these ppl that are so enthusiastic about these fragrances like it’s changing the world.
    The prob is consistency, every time i just let them sit for a bit they change; also they are “Parfum Extrait” which is kind of bs considering the longevity in all of them that i own is about 5 hrs on skin. They aren’t really blended very well either it’s kind of the same beef I have with Armaf although Alexandria isn’t quite as synthetically harsh I don’t put this brand very high.
    If you are buying Interplay or Interplay Extrait you’ll be satisfied; outside of that I mean you are probably gonna waste money imo and i’m not trying to be mean or hateful but I just don’t think this clone house is worth the time it takes to navigate the site.

    You can tell how many trolls have negatively voted this by its unreasonably low rating, and the fact that 9 people (10 actually, i downvoted it) say this smells like paco rabanne 1 million. Also my reasonable and fair review got downvoted off of here because of same trolls. This one will too. Trolls GTFO.

    This is amazing to me. It’s incredibly close to 540 and the ambergris smells like the real thing to my nose. This is transparent and airy and has that ambergris “chlorine” thing if you know what I’m talking about. Whoever said there’s something fecal? No way! It’s either a troll like all the votes that this smells like 1 Million or it has bad performance, or they have a totally different olfactory sense than I do. I was skeptical about Alexandria but this made me a believer. If you love 540 you’ll love this. Simple.

    This is as advertised, an interpretation of MFK 540. It’s very close to the edp version. I have the 540 extrait, which I wear frequently, and have samples of the edp, so I can attest that Hany did an excellent job putting this together. Save some bucks and grab this if you like MFK 540. Give it a few minutes after application to settle, then smell the magic.
    This smells great and, just like a whole bunch of their fragrances, it outperforms its price point. This is a must have if you are fond of ambergris.

    I understand this is an interpretation of Baccart Rouge 540 by MFK. That being said, I have not sampled BR540 so I can not compare, to my nose this is a nice sweet scent that starts of rather… poopish lol. I know that this does contain Ambergris and to my nose it smells like LEGIT Ambergris… it’s rather sea salt or sea water and poop like smell… honestly it isn’t that bad… but after 45 minutes it disappears and leaves a very nice skin scent of sweet cotton candy vibe. Overall it’s a slight thumbs up. Glad I got a sample. Try before you buy unless you are a BR 540 fan.

    Disclaimer- I do not own, nor have i sampled Baccart Rouge 540.
    However, I can say that to my nose there is absolutely not a “poopish” note as reviewers below have mentioned in this fragrance. It smells sweet and almost cotton candyish with a little hint of latex plastic (kind of odd). I do believe there is a note in here that noses interpret differently, thus causing people to have vastly different experiences with it (perhaps thats where the “poop” people describe is coming from?) . As far as performance goes, this stuff lasts a LONG time on my skin and clothing (12 hours easily). Projects well also.
    EDIT:
    I have a 10ml decant of Baccarat 540 edp. It is a little sweeter but they are very close (90% similar). Both of them last forever on skin.

    Totally agree with ScentManJojo and Cireal. I can detect 540 somewhere DEEP in the background but the animalic/poop smell is totally overwhelming.
    I’m not an expert, but all I can smell is ashtray, some mothballs, and a droplet of 540. And someone might have farted.

    attention- this is NOTHING like MFK! This is soooo much nicer and different vibe… and maybe its because im now wearing it for the first time but it is incredible!!! Took me totally by surprise although it shouldnt have considering how good alexandria has been. I recently wrote another review, and like then, i find it amazing that this brand more than any others compels me to write when i hate writing lol! I love omerta too which ive just tried and have just ordered 10 different others.. keep up the good work!

    This was not good on me at all. Very sharp and piercing, practically astringent. Smelled more like cleaning fluid than perfume. It did not get better through the drydown on me. I envy the person who has the skin chemistry to make this work.

    I am a big fan of MFK Baccarat Rouge 540 because of the versatile profile, but once I heard about Alexandria Fragrances inspired fragrances for a fraction of the cost.
    Now, there is a difference between Interplay and the BR540; the difference is definitely more apparent in the opening. There is definitely more ambergris in Interplay than there is in BR 540 which is bittersweet. At first, it smells like BR 540 the first minute after application, but after a minute the animalic “moth-ball” smell becomes the most dominant note.
    I love BR 540 because the ambergris note is really tamed with it being slightly sweet & salty. The animalic note in Interplay is just too much for it to be an exact dupe of BR 540. This would be more like a BR 540 Wild flanker. I think the jasmine/sage notes need to be more on the forefront of this fragrance for it to smell as smooth as BR 540.
    I do get a slight latex smell on the dry-down which I think is due ambergris/saffron combination. Now, what I will say is that I am getting whiffs throughout the wearing of the fragrance and it does strikingly smell like BR 540 which is great! I know scents can smell differently when one directly puts their nose on the applied spot, but with MFK BR 540, I don’t get the “moth-ball” smell like I do with Interplay.
    With all that being said, Interplay does smell like a niche fragrance and yes, it still has that very sweet musky smell that BR 540 is known for. For a house (sub $60 frags) to attempt a MFK original is pretty cool. I’d say it is around 85% similar to the original MFK BR 540. That is actually pretty good considering how much you’re paying for this fragrance!
    The performance is average though, but you can reapply at the price you’re paying compared to the original offering. I really think most people would think you’re wearing BR 540. I’m just an Ambroxan/Cetalox/Ambergris fanboy so I can definitely pick out the differences in this particular frag. I think if the Jasmine or Sage is turned up, it will be closer to BR 540.
    I’d recommend this to anyone looking for a BR 540 alternative! Oh, and this is definitely unisex which makes it versatile!
