Which Should You Buy?
Symphony smells glorious, but you'll need deep pockets and a high tolerance for simplicity. It's a crowd-pleasing citrus bomb, polarising some with its price tag and basic profile, but enchanting others with its sheer quality and shocking longevity for a freshie. Most agree it's fantastic but not worth the price.
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.
