Theodoros Kalotinis Symposium is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Theodoros Kalotinis. Theodoros Kalotinis's Symposium carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

This is a rich, complex beast that aims for ancient Greek decadence and largely delivers. Divisive for some, a masterpiece for others, but undeniably a performer, even if it does settle into a strong patchouli for a few.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Date Formal

Given its long-lasting, strong sillage and opulent, complex profile, Symposium is best suited for evening and special occasions, especially dates and formal events. Its intensity would be overwhelming in an office setting and completely out of place for sport.

About

Opening with a boozy splash of red wine and spicy saffron, Symposium immediately sets a scene of opulence. This quickly blends into a sophisticated heart where powdery iris meets the aromatic freshness of lavender. As it dries, the fragrance deepens, revealing a warm, resinous embrace of amber, vanilla, and tonka bean, underscored by a sturdy woody base and an earthy patchouli. A hint of animalic ambergris adds a luxurious, ancient feel.
