The story behind the bottle.
Symphonium by Xerjoff, launched in 2020 and crafted by perfumer Chris Maurice, is an Oriental Vanilla fragrance that marries bright citrus with warm spices and rich oud. The opening notes of orange and mandarin orange are crisp and uplifting, while the heart introduces a complex blend of cardamom and chocolate. This contrast gives way to a base of Laotian and Thailand oud, vanilla, and musk, creating an enveloping warmth that is both sensual and comforting.
Symphonium blooms slowly on the skin, so a light application in the morning allows it to build throughout the day. The rich base notes will last through evening, making this fragrance perfect for daytime wear that transitions seamlessly into night.
