What wearers say
“The opening of this scent is just FABULOUS.Sumptuous Orange Dark Chocolate.But the opening faded within minutes..Gosh..Come back!!Then the drydown is just vanilla and woods.For this price tag, Nothing Special.Longevity and sillage is just moderate, mostly close to skin.If I catch a great deal, may wanna buy it. Quite wearable and cozy.”
“I have to be honest, I am not getting the hype behind Symphonium! I mean it’s nice, it’s a well rounded citrus gourmand with some oud and cardamom, but for the price Xerjoff charges for Symphonium I was expecting to be mind blown. And I am rather underwhelmed! Especially if I am talking performance it’s a close to skin scent within an hour from application.Naw, that’s not worth Xerjoff prices for me! Pass, Symphonium is very overhyped and way overpriced!!!”
“Quite powdery on my skin, not much oud that I can detect. I do smell the orange and subtle chocolate. Got the 100 ml bottle for a fraction of what it retails, I wouldn't pay retail for this tbh. Sometimes it smells like a rotten or overripe banana to me. Sillage is above average and longevity is 6 hours on my skin, decades on clothes.”

The clone simplifies the dual-oud base into a generic oud accord, losing some of the original's depth and sophistication. Longevity and projection are noticeably lighter than the designer version, making it better suited for office wear rather than evening occasions.

Sillage
The clone simplifies the dual-oud base into a more generic oud accord, lacking the nuanced distinction between Laotian and Thailand oud found in the original. Dua's version may also show reduced projection and longevity compared to Xerjoff's signature performance standards.
