Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive citrus musk; some love its refreshing, clean vibe and unique fruity twist, others find it shockingly basic and overpriced, especially given its iffy performance. It's a sunshine scent for sure, but don't expect it to last.
Orchestra is Alexandria UK's dupe of Louis Vuitton Symphony, mirroring the ginger-citrus opening. The citrus feels more one-note and less crystalline than LV's original, and the musk base is thinner with far shorter legs, but as a cheap daytime citrus-fruity scent it lands close enough to the brief.
