Strong contender

The review

On paper, Crescendo is a strong bet if you want Symphony for less.

ALT Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Symphony's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $98 per 100ml it costs 92% less than Symphony — the 13th cheapest of 17 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength ALT Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

The original opens on grapefruit, turns to bergamot, and settles into ginger. That is the brief Crescendo is working from.

Top

  • grapefruit

Heart

  • bergamot

Base

  • ginger
Grapefruit and bergamot lifted on ginger, luminous and stripped-back, citrus at full concentration.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.

Of the 19 twins of Louis Vuitton Symphony we can price, Crescendo is number 13 on price per 100ml.
