What does Symphonium smell like?

It opens with Spanish mandarin orange and Italian orange, fresh, citrusy and fruity. In the heart, Belgian chocolate and Indian cardamom add a gourmand, spicy sweetness. The base of Laotian oud, Thai oud, Bourbon vanilla and musk dries down creamy and woody.

Longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, with summer the least favoured. Feminine and masculine votes are close, so it sits comfortably on either. The Dua Brand Symphony and Roja Parfums Lost in Paris have a close profile.
