The Jacobian factor (prod_i x_i)^-1 runs over ALL D parts including the reference one; without it the density does not integrate to one over the simplex.
Details
Formula: f(x) = (2 pi)^{-(D-1)/2} |Sigma|^{-1/2} (prod_{i=1}^{D} x_i)^{-1} exp( -1/2 (alr(x) - mu)' Sigma^{-1} (alr(x) - mu) )
References
