What does Symphonie smell like?
Frankincense, Italian bergamot and grapefruit lead. Cardamom and Provençal lavender add a spicy freshness in the heart, and the base of patchouli, vanilla and white cedar dries down creamy and sweet.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall, winter and spring, with summer well behind. It leans towards nights out, leisure and evenings. More voters call it masculine, though it reads as unisex.
