Beautiful but no longevity. Not worth the hefty price tag.
homiak – :
Pretty fragrance, but the name is misleading (neroli is really dominant) and the longevity+sillage are on the weak(er) side.
You might as well go with fragrances like Chloé Love Story that don’t cost as much.
Glad I’ve only got a decant since I’d never purchase this.
It’s just isn’t worth it imho.

Rose, bergamot, and orange blossom (a very Grape Crush one). Simple (like many of the Prives), but well made. This type of rose accord might be familiar from No. 88, Iquitos, and Ungaro Diva, but it’s much more demure than any of them.

Its kind smell of rose coming out of…something I know.. please dont laugh…but it reminds me Radiant Britney Spears. It’s better blended but it has some….nature of it. Way too expensive …this whole collection is too expensive.
GatLetactiotT – :
This smells beautiful and exactly like it does inside a flower shop. I wouldn’t say this is a straight rose though, more like a mix of several flowers. The longevity isn’t all that great and I wonder if the fragrance is special enough to justify the price tag.
jxm678intitytek – :
This is a beautiful, crisp fragrance with a nice citrus opening and an amazing rose scent. I wish it would last longer on my skin but I wear it anyway. It is a fresh scent that doesn’t induce headaches which most of floral perfumes do..It has quickly earned a spot on my favorites shelf, I think it will be perfect for warmer weather.
Expaxidiola – :
Love this fragrance but always wear with a stronger parfum as an enhancer. My favorite fragrance to pair with is Rose d’Arabie.
Togarourgehep – :
Sorry but this is not rose! This must be fleur d’orange (orange flower) or something else. Nice, beautiful creation but now worth for price tag!

Rose Alexandrie is a bit of a misnomer. Strangely for a perfume with “rose” in the name orange blossom takes over. It’s very pretty, soft, and sweet with notes of sugared rose with the orange blossom. This perfume gets slightly soapy at times and it’s very soft, which unfortunately brings up associations in my mind to Amazing Grace by Philosophy. Amazing Grace is a synthetic sweet soapy skin scent. It’s a “not perfume” perfume. While Rose Alexandrie is not synthetic smelling, it’s as soft if not softer and even if better smelling still too similar. I find the suggestion of 260 USD for this fragrance ludicrous.
Unoriginality is an apparent theme with the Privé line so far, if the four fragrances I was able to try is enough to constitute a noticeable trend.

Light rose in typical Armani style. Nothing special.

This is one of my favourite summer / hot weather perfumes. I love how fresh and airy it is, yet still slightly sweet and sophisticated. Its a very beautiful scent.
Its soft and florally. To me it smells like sweet rose with other soft white florals combined. Hint of freshness but not at all too citrussy in my opinion. I think it is very girly and classy. One downside is that it doesn’t stay very long as it is a very soft fragrance, which is a shame since it is an expensive perfume… However I do still get whiffs of it throughout the day and compliments from people. It is not a complex perfume, very simple and wearable at all times.
Overal love the scent and so easy to wear ! It reminds me of all my summer memories.
kola_2010 – :
I am a little biased when it comes to Rose Alexandrie. It doesn’t last long and it is not as complex as the other Prive perfumes, BUT, it is perhaps the most special one for me. I I wear this to bed every night- it soothes my mind.
It is also a great fragrance to layer with other more intense perfumes to take off the edge. I have layered this with Mancera’s Roses Vanille and it adds a new dimension to an otherwise ‘sweet’ perfume.
Sanya7740 – :
I love Rose D’Arabie and thought this would be a more suitable choice for office / daywear. It is a very soft, fruity easy to wear rose – slightly sweet on opening but this quickly fades. Each note is easily identifiable – neroli appears first in a burst of bergamot and tangerine (I detect lemon also?) – the mimosa then appears followed by soft rose. The notes complement each other well & the quality of the ingredients are apparent. The only issue I have is the longevity – after a few hrs I can barely detect it. It wouldn’t be an issue if the cost reflected this but for such an expensive scent I would expect better.
vick.seroy – :
Beautiful! The opening is a warm, sweet floral with a juicy quality to it. The juiciness dies down and the rose and Mimose become a lovely very close to the skin fragrance. Unfortunately this doesn’t last very long on me and has a very low sillage. A quiet, demure, but joyful fragrance.
The Prive collection is available at Neiman Marcus downtown Chicago. (The rep was so helpful, knowledgeable, and generous!)
ant3755 – :
This has great opening. But 30 mins later it has gone cheap… like deo-cologne cheap.
Knothvomweemn – :
This smelled wonderful. I think this was the second niche fragrance I ever smelled…..that’s if you consider Creed niche. It smelled amazing. Has this been discontinued?
perov86 – :
I smell spicy lilies.
with spicy, tangy roses quickly taking over.
And i smell something ginger-like.
OH i’m having a perfume hallucination!!
smells very expensive and chic.
Like it!
Soadayendom – :
Delicate, elegant, gentle and independent.
Like a tiny diamond necklace.
Fresh, a bit citrus with a trace of rose flower.
The original perfume lasts very long, untill you take the shower and wash your hair very good^^
One of my favourite perfumes.
People notice the luxury of the smell and ask about it. And when I occasionally wear jeans and men-like сlassic shirts and this perfume… People are getting really confused^^

What happened? I was such a big fan of the Armani Prive collection for the fragrances longevity. I tested the fragrance, but apparently, not long enough before I purchased it. It lasts about 5 minutes and it’s very light and watery. I spent all that money (shame on me) for a fragrance I don’t like and probably won’t wear very often. Very sad!

Non sono un’amante della rosa, né dei fioriti in generale, forse l’unico che mi ha colpito é stato Diorissimo con la freschezza del mughetto e un sillage estremamente elegante e sottile, usato anche per anni da mia mamma. Ma questo di Armani Privé é trasparente, fresco, come una pioggia di rugiada al mattino presto. Pur essendo molto persistente.
Lomsemelo – :
Rose Alexandrie is very low on fixatives, and not particularly concentrated, so wears quite differently in dry areas like the wrist vs moist areas like the inner arm. It is almost impossible to appreciate this scent unless the body or the climate is humid.
The primarily Bergamot citrus top morphs into a tart tangerine after a few minutes. Shortly after, the fragrance enters Candyland for a bit, as the tangerine and rose briefly merge. I love the idea of rose and mimosa, but here the mimosa does not feel round and full as an absolute should. Good quality Mimosa reminds me of the Rousanne grape- full, slightly waxy, voluptuous, but dry. Here it is stingily used. As for the supposed star of the show, instead of being the anchor note, the Rose is abysmally shy- so much that I feel the scent has been ill-named. The moderately pleasant drydown is a waxy fresh combination of the Mimosa and the enduring Bergamot.
All in all, this is a very simple scent, not terribly artistic, interesting, or high quality.

This is very lush, slightly metallic floral scent. It’s very full bodied yet airy too. I can easily say that it smells like better Lady Million. I would prefer this one to LM. Staying power is pretty well, the price isn’t. It’s very expensive -.- It’s very likeable and fun, but not too original.

I really love this perfume and bought it for Spring Summer as I find it refreshing but still very classy….until my son commented that I smelled of grape jiuce! Not so classy after all…

I really like this light, citrusy rose. I am just exploring rose fragrances and my taste tends to run toward the spicy and resinous (Lyric & Epic) and this one is not like that. It is more sweet than spice and it is just so light and pretty! Luca Turin calls it “appropriate anywhere that fire-engine red lipstick is” in Perfumes: The Guide (paperback edition p. 475)I find it more diverse than that, but I think red lipstick is generally appropriate in any situation – just depends on the colour and the application. This is one I can happily wear to work on a warm day because of the sunny, light citrus notes, for a ladies lunch, or for a date because it is also very sexy though not overwhelming at all. It doesn’t have all the aldehydes of other rose fragrances that overpower me then give me a headache (like Joy) It is more sweet than spicy and it is easy to wear – not a strong rose that wears you if you are not careful (like FM Une Rose). I highly recommend it.

i am not one for rose scents at all. i didnt even want to smell this one. but the lady at the giorgio armani had me sniff this one. and WOW! This is trully beautiful. This scent represents a very put together woman. Yet any woman could wear this. It is somewhat transparent, but not in strength or silliage. it had a “shiny flower” quality that i love. if you ever get around to getting the privelege of sniffing this, please do and write a review! i am not very great at reviewing scents, so i would like to read someone’s review that can describe this scent’s beauty…
Deroxzstgh – :
Armani Prive Rose Alexandrie is the best perfume, of all I know for the moment.This perfume belong to chypre group, that means is it long last and opens layers every hour, as if it is open new and new doors.The rose note is so sophysticated, so I would imagine very classy lady possesing this perfume.
That lady is going for date and wearing this misterious and very romantic perfume.All men turn their heads towards to her.And she just goes to the only loved one.
blackkos – :
The rose hits hard at first then the citrus takes over. It’s unusual and beautiful .
kinnoman – :
An exciting transparent neo-classic rose chypre, which has a brilliant, candied, slightly metallic, tuberose-rose with a resinous green background and a floral midway with a powerful ambery-mossy bit, that drydown ends fresh musk.
