Symphonium

by Chris Maurice

Xerjoff Symphonium is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Chris Maurice. Symphonium opens with Orange and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Dark Chocolate and Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vanilla, and Oud. Xerjoff's Symphonium carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

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.

About

Opens with a vibrant burst of fresh orange and mandarin, quickly melting into a rich heart of dark chocolate and warm cardamom. The sweetness is beautifully balanced, preventing it from becoming cloying. As it dries, a subtle, earthy oud emerges, grounded by creamy vanilla and a hint of musk, adding a luxurious, velvety finish that lingers on the skin.
