Symphony Melody

Just got this and am testing it. I have been looking for a longer lasting dupe of Roja's Elysium and they definitely read the assignment because this stuff is legitimately long-lasting : I am smelling it as a skin scent on my arm 18 hours after applying 4 sprays. So kudos to Le Falcone for cracking what was such a sticking point with Elysium and its dupes (FW's Imperium which is another 2 hour scent, much brighter than the others). Projection and sillage are restrained - this is not a 'loud' scent. First sprays hit me with a heavy dose of pink pepper and bitter grapefruit which evolves in a few minutes to a sweet floral citrus and then on the dry down into a woody and earthy/mossy/vetiver based scent. The funkiness between 1-2 hrs in resolved with maturation. To their credit it very much evolves - the next day, what I mostly smell as a skin scent is a light white floral mixed with a musky light wood, resembling their Autograph Risala. This is not a TdH clone. Will return and edit as I test it out but I think it is a definite win. This is a more traditional, complex, restrained scent for a 30+ man. I would wear it to the office (more specifically the boardroom) and it means business, but in a restrained way. And it finally beats the 4h mark for when I want to be wearing something like Elysium, which is fantastic. I might actually layer Elysium (or more likely, the much cheaper Imperium) over this one to get the complexity/opening of the former with the longevity of the latter.

A bright, almost candied citrus opening. You get a sweetish lemon blended with green notes and a slightly tart undertone, not off-putting, but more on the aromatic side. Truly stunning, with nothing synthetic about it. Once the opening fades, the heart is fruity and floral. It reminds me a little of something in Vanguard by Maison Asrar, probably because of the apple mixed with some particular flower. In the drydown it shifts to a slightly vanilla and resinous base, warm but not overly so. Overall, I'm very happy with this fragrance. Excellent quality, and longevity settles around 5–6 hours...it's not beast mode, but it does its job as a freshie. (ps: can't tell about the bottle, I've decanted it because the reviews are a mixed bag, but I can confirm Le Falconè cooked on this one. The only thing is, idk how elysium smells sadly, so I can't tell you if its close or not)

This one feels different, you know when a scent just makes you feel put together? It’s smooth, refined, and has that touch of luxury that turns heads without trying too hard. Honestly, it’s the kind of fragrance that becomes your signature.

I dont know about all these reviews, im serious is this brand really that good? Because in seeing alot of hype

@kshir Thanks for the well explained review/reply. Really appreciate it.

It’s sharp at first, then settles into something smooth and refined.

I dont feel half of the notes in this parfume, very weak

I am absolutely in love with this perfume!

@kshir thanks for the excellent info bro

Oh man I'm gonna get flamed for this..... So this is a new release and it's getting a ton of hype right now. I fell for the hype because to me the middle eastern frags are a lot of fun, and getting better all the time with the "inspiration" that they go after. So here is the thing. This came today and it smells right out the bottle like a floor cleaner with citrus. This is not the first time I have come across this by any means. Raees by Arabiyat Prestige was the same thing when the bottle first showed up. Believe it or not, the frags do actually get better with time. I won't go into the explanation of why because I'm sure you have heard it all before. The people that say it's not a thing, well you're wrong. Of the 230+ fragrances currently in my collection, half are from Middle Eastern houses and a lot of them have aged on my shelves and gotten much better. Much means they went from Alcohol or cleaning solution to 80% or higher to the OG. So I will revisit this in a few weeks and keep my mind open. Thank you for reading. Edit: It has been 2 months now of letting it mature on the shelf. The extremely harsh lemon opening has subsided. now the floral notes are coming out of it, and as it dries, the leather actually comes through. Much better and will give it a few more wears and allow it to continue to develop.

Got sent a sample of this and I have just sprayed it on the back on my hand. Initial blast of lots of citrus, the sharpness of which is rounded out by floral and vegetal notes..... and the longer I have it on, the more is smells like a citrus kitchen cleaner. It projects mightily from skin, and has made me sneeze..... BUT.... There is this funky note from the sillage, and which increases during the dry down. I don't know if it's the leather and green accords, but its like a kitchen/cooking smell. It smells like the breading you get on bung in the oven chicken tenders / sprinkled with Ras el Hanout. I really don't like this - it's fucking weird

although it is a decent scent, most reviews here are very misleading. this scent is not eternal, nor enormous in projection at all. lasts 5 hours max on my skin and doesn't project that well.

@KawaSoor I sampled almost all of them, and while the quality is good, I question the credibility of the brand. Let me explain, for example the perfume in question, surely smells nice and the quality is there but these performance ratings on these fragrances seem to be completely falsified. It is a decent performer sure, perhaps the best perfoming Elysium interpretation, lasts for about 6-7 hours on skin with good projection in the first 1.5 hours or so; similarly, the other Symphony, is perhaps even weaker with it lasting for 5-6 hours at most. Tried their Qannas as well, probably my favourite interpretation of Ultra Male, but has slightly above average performance. Would you call any of these beastly? surely NOT, yet all of these are rated "eternal" for some reason, especially with all them sharing almost the same number of ratings, which is rather suspicious and questionable, falsified to generate hype perhaps? So, overall I would say the releases are surely good for what they are, but just dont expect any miraculous performances as these ratings seem to depicting.

Take it from a merciless longevity critic. Let this maturate for 2-3 months and the citrus notes, especially the bright sweet lime REALLY start to pop and project. Longevity is now unusually long for such a citrus dominant frag. I get a strong 6-7 hours with hard projection for the first 3 then it's a pleasent and quite present skin scent for another 3-4. I believe this longevity is achieved because the citrus top notes are so artistically well blended with the sweeter but airy (in this frag) notes of apple, juniper, benzoin, mild rose and soft, dark vanilla. Someone who has tried basically every Elysium dupe out there told me this is the best he has ever smelled. I haven't tried them all but he'll get no argument from me. Well done Le Falcone'...👍🏾

I have to disagree with the "floor cleaner" comparisons. To those getting their bottles from TikTok or Amazon, that might be the issue because this smells nothing like chemicals. While it isn't a perfect 1:1 clone, it is a very impressive alternative. I personally prefer it over Alexandria Zion; although Zion smells slightly better, its poor performance (barely three hours on skin) makes this the better overall value

Not 100% Roja Elysium Pour Homme, but you’ll probably enjoy this; it’s quite close. It opens really fresh and citrusy, super clean and bright. The scent settles down pretty quickly, but it still lasts around 8–9 hours on the skin. It becomes more of a soft, personal scent after a while. Definitely a nice, easy-to-wear fragrance.

Brand paid influencers. Fake reviews, crappy juice, the quality of Le Falcone is terrible, bottle barely stands on it's own, the cheap plastic fell off to reveal hot glue... Not worth at all. You want a nice dupe? go for lattafah.

This is trolgrantica... Parfumo.com is a better site for more accurate reviews and notes...

THE BOT RATING SEEDING IS WILD. DON'T FALL FOR IT, GUYS!
