Something is symmetrical when it has two matching halves, so it makes sense that Symmetry has two sides which certainly do complement each other harmoniously. It is the first release in a trilogy of oud-based perfumes created for the brand by the master of oud, Chris Maurice, using orange blossom, cypriol, and natural laos ouds. Bearing in mind each three contain natural ouds tinctured by CM, the $ per ml is an absolute steal. Huge props to Sarah on this. Symmetry’s first half has the composition of a neroli cologne, all fresh citrus and green notes. Oud plays a significant role in the other half and between the two, they bring together a fantastic perfume that is never too much of one side or the other. Having sampled all three of the trilogy, I find this one the least challenging. For fans of oud, all three are worth seeking out and for those put off by it, these are all accessible enough to get you started enjoying oud. With most oud fragrances containing only a synthetic oud note, be it from Givaudan or one of the other big companies, it is fantastic to have these three great value options as an entry into the world of natural oud perfumery.
