Which Should You Buy?
Symphonium is a divisive one - an expensive hit-or-miss for gourmand lovers. While many celebrate its rich chocolate orange profile, some find it too sweet, others animalic, and a few even compare it to cheap alternatives. Definitely one to sample first.
This Sicilian charmer is a bit of a divided house. Some rave about its stunning, realistic orange opening and gourmand drydown, a true summer amber. Others find it simple, fleeting, and overpriced for its lacklustre performance. Love it or hate it, Arancia di Sicilia sparks debate.
