    Symmetry by Sarah Baker Perfumes

    Chris Maurice, 2020.

    What particularly delighted me is that the oud is lifted to the top of the composition and intertwines with the sparkling citruses almost immediately upon the opening. Symmetry feels smooth, but illuminated, and provides long-lasting, airy depth.
