Alexandria Orientale Probe

That 2 ml vial is the perfect size for a proper trial run — I got a solid week of daily wear out of it, which is way more than I expected from a sample. The oriental vibe lives up to the description, rich and mysterious without being overpowering.

Two sprays and I’m already tempted to buy the full bottle—this tiny 2 ml vial packs serious longevity for a sample, and the oriental vibe is exactly the warm, spicy mystery I was hoping for. Just wish it came with a dabber instead of a sprayer, but that’s a nitpick.

The spray nozzle on this 2 ml vial dispenses just the right amount, so I could test it on my wrist without wasting a drop. It’s a nice way to get a feel for the scent before committing to a full bottle, though I wish the sample lasted a bit longer on my skin.
