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.

Crescendo follows Louis Vuitton's Symphony (Les Extraits) closely on paper - grapefruit and bergamot up top, cedar and musk beneath. The ginger heart reads less refined than Symphony's crafted spice, and the cedar-musk base finishes flatter and less luminous than the original's noted 'everyday luxury' polish.
