The review

Melody scores 7.2 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Symphony.

The Dua Brand 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 $162 per 100ml it costs 92% less than Symphony — the 17th cheapest of 17 twins we can price.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Dua Brand 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

Louis Vuitton Symphony is grapefruit at first, bergamot at its heart and ginger at the end. The Dua Brand set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • grapefruit

Heart

  • bergamot

Base

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

How it ranks against the other twins
