SYMPHONIE 4
Fragrance notes
Character
The scent opens with a strange and compelling tension. Bitter coffee grinds mix with the soft, almost creamy crunch of almond. This is not a bright morning cup. It is a heavy, dark roast served in a velvet-lined room where the lighting is low and the air is thick with heat.
Orange blossom and tuberose rise up, but they lack the freshness of a garden. They feel extracted and dense, sitting heavily on a foundation of vanilla and that distinct hazelnut cocoa spread note. The blend creates a gourmand impression that is more about sugar and spice than it is about flowers. Cinnamon adds a dry heat that pushes the mixture toward a confectionery style, while the cashmere wood tries to smooth the edges of the sweetness.
The composition suffers from a clash of scales. The nutty, edible notes are so loud that the delicate iris and Bulgarian rose get completely lost in the mix. It smells artificial in the way a mass-market candle does when too many fragrance oils are poured into the wax. The balance leans so far into the edible that it forgets to smell like skin, making it a difficult wear for anyone who prefers a natural or subtle floral character.
