Gorgeous bottles

First of all, I’m a big fan of many LV fragrances and find the others at least decent. The fragrances of LV are mostly easy to wear and mass-appealing, however they are also unique. I understand that many people say that they are not worth the price but in my opinion many of them are. With that in mind I opened the five samples from the five new fragrances of LV which come in a gorgeous new bottle at a very high price tag (450€).
To make things clear, as much as I like the bottle design, the price of those fragrances is not justified.
But let’s talk about the smell anyway. Symphony is the only fragrance from the collection that I see slightly more on the masculine side. It is very citrusy and fresh. When I smelled it the first time, I immediately thought that I know the smell from somewhere. Now, a few days later, I think it’s similar to Creeds Aventus Cologne. I would describe it as denser, thicker and much longer performing.
I could easily smell it 16h after applying. To be honest, it wasn’t projecting at this point anymore, however it’s a fresh scent and it was still there.
So if you search for a long lasting fresh scent, you might put this one on your list.

Overall, I like the scent, but I currently don’t like it 450€-much. After testing the others from the collection too, it is the only one that I probably would go for as a men. For women, I really can suggest trying Dancing Blossom ans Stellar Times.

However all of them don’t seem to be as unique as the ones from the regular collection. I believe that LV has chosen a few good selling niche fragrances, got inspired by them and produced a much denser version of them.

Basics mastered to Perfection

Let me start by saying this: this is one of the best fragrance my nose has laid upon.

It starts off with sweet natural realistic citrus which is very pleasant to the nose. After 15 min I can detect some sweet milky yet airy smoothie like scent similar to Pacific Chill but not cloying at all! Though it borrows some parts of Pacific Chill , I cannot detect ginger (as LV suggest).

This fragrance is blended to perfection. There are no notes that sticks out or is unpleasant in any way. It is very airy!

The DNA by itself is rather basic but due to the high quality ingredients, it doesn't smell generic. It is linear and definitely feminine leaning.

The vibe is chic, elegant, refined, understated. This DNA is not loud or attention grabbing.

LV went back to basics and mastered it! The price is extremely high for what it is. And is the only negative about this fragrance.

Symphony of money....

Hello everyone,

late this evening, I would like to share my opinion on Symphony in relatively few words..

Easily 95% of the house's fragrance range has this H/S problem. Fortunately, it is not one of them, BUT its PERFORMANCE is still a long way from good+ !

But you have to give the company credit for one thing and that's the bottle, the lid, the sprayer and co (processing). LV really do a very good job here.

What does it smell like?

Citrusy, fresh, fruity are the main players and this LV pleasantness is also on board here! That's not even the slightest bit bad, wrong/wrong = but positive. For me (!) it is a refreshing fragrance that is truly UNISEX and doesn't lean in one direction or the other!
Where and when?

ALWAYS, no matter what sex, what place, what time of year = it always works. But I find it really suitable at work (office) and on the warmer days of the year.

But...

There is this one point (here) and that is the price! The fragrance is good, versatile, pleasant, pleasing and is usually very well received, BUT in terms of price, I don't think it works at all = at just under 490€ ... for that!?

I'll be honest (!) ... i wouldn't even spend half of that if it was new, but at the end of the day it finds its fans and yes it's solid to good, but it's not even worth the price...

And now have a nice day/evening or whatever you are reading this review, LG the Benny

Not a symphony, an explosion!

I have never smelled a more invigorating and sparkling fragrance in my life. And, as if it wasn't enough water running down my throat every time I smell it, this bastard lasts up to two days with two sprays. And on top of that, it stays really fresh, the spicy, extasy freshness lasts until the end! It really is a beauty!

What kind of magic water is this?

Children say it smells like a tasty green apple and want to take a bite out of me.

Aromatherapy in the salt desert

Today I was lucky enough to be able to test all five of the new LV fragrances, whose bottles were designed by architectural legend Frank Gehry. I tested Symphony first, because the description of the fragrance on the Louis Vuitton site appealed to me. I was beguiled by the idea of being in a place where the sea merges with the sky and and the dry salt ground reflects the sun's rays, making it an indescribable spectacle. As if with the play of light a feeling of infinity spreads and I would walk along the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia.

When I then sprayed the fragrance on my arm, I also already had the perfect scenario for the fragrance in my head. I, in the Infinity salt desert, with a tropical shirt, looking out in the vastness of the uneconomic-looking landscape on the breeze of the dry wind, which rebels rebelliously against nature, as if he wanted to tell me "Stay a little longer, here it is quite sweet". But when I had him then on the arm, but something quickly disillusionment spread. The top note, from which I hope for a change of emotions, smelled very linear and a bit too dominant ginger and lemon aromatherapy oil. The citrus note was more like verbena than citrus and grapefruit was barely perceptible to me. At first, the fragrance even reminded me of Eau de Verveine Vibrante. I was then first a bit disappointed and devoted myself to the other fragrances in the faint hope that the symphony would say goodbye with a grand finale, but unfortunately that was not the case. The drydown was undynamic and the mixture of ginger and lemon continued to dominate the action.

Conclusion:

Bottle - LV's bottles are some of the most beautiful in the industry for me, but with the Gehry range, I feel they have surpassed themselves once again. The head of the bottle, which resembles a transparent veil (according to the staff, it's all handmade) and the boutique where they have built a huge veil over the collection that resembles the head of the perfumes is second to none.

Fragrance - Basically, the composition is coherent, the fragrance fulfills its purpose as a summer lightweight. However, it is too citrusy for me personally and has too little depth. The ginger is a bit too intrusive for me and the grapefruit was taken note of, overall the fragrance reminds me very much of citronella. I find it nice that the durability is good and the lemon does not scratch. But in the end, the Gretchen question arises with most, whether the fragrance is "worth it". And unfortunately, I have to answer in the negative. For the price, which LV calls up, one should expect more than a fragrance that smells like citronella. The flacons are only available in 100 ML and they cost 450 euros. Refill costs 300 euros.
