Mykonos Reflection bottle

Mykonos

Mykonos Reflection

Inspired alternative

Grapefruit introduces Symphony’s freshness, but peach and flowers take it in a fruitier direction. Musk, woods and vanilla make the drydown softer and sweeter, with less emphasis on ginger.

Ginger and bergamot give the opening a sharper citrus bite than Symphony. Grapefruit stays noticeable before ambroxan and musk become more prominent in the drydown.
