Symphony Louis Vuitton

Mostly bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel. Underneath that, sharp and peppery, more like cracked pepper than baking spice.

It opens on grapefruit and bergamot, moves through bergamot and ginger, and settles on ginger and orange blossom.

• grapefruit: bitter-fresh citrus, more tart and less sweet than orange
• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
