Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Symphony EDP
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.
Statement
Our Verdict - Citrus Harmony EDP
A budget take on Louis Vuitton's Symphony. Citrus Harmony nails the sparkling grapefruit-bergamot-ginger citrus that defines the original, but Perfume Parlour's version reads a touch sharper and more linear, with the bright opening fading faster than even the original's moderate four-to-six-hour wear.
