1872 Masculine EDP

A unique fragrance with 219 ingredients, Clive Christian 1872 Masculine EDP is a gorgeous blend of citruses, herbs, and spices. It opens with sparkling top notes of petitgrain, bergamot, and lime juxtaposed against calming lavender and rosemary. You will detect a sweet fusion of mandarin orange, pineapple, jasmine, and peach in the heart, which gives way to notes of black pepper, cedar, musk, and patchouli in the base.

Xerjoff Amabile Eau de Parfum

Xerjoff Amabile, much like Symphony, immediately stands out for its bright and playful top notes. Luscious fresh fruits are coupled with floral and spicy notes for an unforgettable olfactory experience. The opening is radiant due to green apple, Amalfi lemon, Calabrian bergamot, and orange blossom. Pink pepper and jasmine are dominant in the heart, while the base notes — namely, Mexican vanilla, cedar, white musk, and patchouli — add depth.

Filippo Sorcinelli Ne Il Giorno Ne L’Ora Extrait de Parfum

Imagine Symphony but with lovely florals — that’s Ne Il Giorno Ne L’Ora for you. This creation by Filippo Sorcinelli strikes the perfect balance between creamy citruses, lush florals, and marine notes. The opening is vibrant, with dominant notes of lemon, bergamot, cardamom, and lily of the valley. Jasmine, iris, and rose constitute the floral bouquet in the heart, while musk, tonka bean, and sandalwood in the base add a hint of sweetness.

Xerjoff 1861 Renaissance Eau de Parfum

XJ 1861 Renaissance is a timeless citrus-aromatic fragrance with a profile quite similar to Symphony’s. The opening is luminous and fresh due to the fusion of juicy citruses, namely tangerine, Calabrian bergamot, lemon, and petitgrain. Interestingly, the floral heart, with Bulgarian rose and lily of the valley, has a touch of cold mint. The base leans earthy and woody; you will detect notes of patchouli, cedar, amber, and musk.

Bortnikoff Cologne Celeste Extrait de Cologne

If you love the fruity-gourmand aspects of Symphony, then you will find Cologne Celeste from Bortnikoff enchanting. Lemon, cedrat, and pink grapefruit dominate the opening and will leave you feeling rejuvenated. Fresh Damask rose occupies the delicate heart, with blood orange adding a touch of sweetness. Creamy sandalwood, cool cedar, and verdant pine in the base help round out the composition.

Maison Francis Kurkdjian Aqua Vitae Eau de Toilette

Aqua Vitae by Maison Francis Kurkdjian is a citrus-woody fragrance — fresh, versatile, and sensual, much like Symphony. It successfully captures the playful spirit of the Mediterranean islands. Zesty notes of Calabrian lemon and Sicilian mandarin dominate the opening. However, the fragrance soon turns warm, earthy, and addictive, as notes of guaiac wood, vanilla, amber, musk, and tonka bean displace the citruses.

Affinessence Combava Cedrat Eau de Parfum

If you have ever wondered how Symphony would smell with some Kaffir Lime added into the mix, then you must try Combava-Cedrat from Affinessence. The answer is — fresh, flamboyant, and heavenly.

The fragrance opens with the powerhouse citrus duo of Calabrian Cedrat and Kaffir Lime. You will detect dominant notes of mint and Mexican Lime as the fragrance evolves. Warm cardamom is juxtaposed with cold woods for that perfect contrast.

Bortnikoff Chypre du Nord Extrait de Parfum

Chypre du Nord is sweeter and more luscious than Symphony with a classical chypre composition. The fragrance opens with sparkling bergamot and juicy orange, while sweet peach and spicy nutmeg occupy the heart. The base is complex, with dominant notes of rich oakmoss, resinous benzoin, soft musk, and earthy tonka bean.

Chypre du Nord pays homage to the finest traditions of European perfumery.

Zarkoperfume Cloud Collection No. 4 Eau de Parfum

Zarkoperfume Cloud Collection No. 4 draws inspiration from the “golden sunsets of Scandinavia” and the “endless northern seas”; it is reminiscent of a tropical paradise, much like Symphony. The fragrance opens with fresh blackberry, sparkling lemon, spicy pink pepper, and sweet mandarin. In the heart lies a unique fusion of jasmine, coconut, oceanic accord, black tea, and orange flowers. The base is warm, velvety, and creamy, thanks to musk, sandalwood, vanilla, cashmere, and cedarwood.

Matiere Premiere Cologne Cedrat Eau de Parfum

Cologne Cedrat, created by Aurélien Guichard for Matiere Premiere, is a citrus-dominant fragrance that will leave you feeling refreshed and ready to take on the world. The perfume opens with bergamot, whose vibrancy is amplified by the spicy notes of pink pepper and black pepper in the heart. Mate is the primary note in the base. If you would like to experience Symphony with a tea note, then this is the one to try!

All of these Symphony dupes and alternatives will be excellent additions to your fragrance wardrobe if you appreciate bright citruses. Let us know your pick!
