Symbol vs Blooming Opal

Shared character

Both fragrances feature the same core floral ingredients—tuberose, musk, jasmine (sambac) and honeysuckle—and are defined by a floral accord.

How they differ

Symbol contains iris/orrris and additional woody notes that are not present in Blooming Opal. Blooming Opal adds gardenia, bergamot, and sandalwood, which are absent from Symbol. Both share tuberose, musk, jasmine (sambac) and honeysuckle, and they are both built around a floral accord.

Who each suits

Symbol is likely to appeal to wearers who enjoy the powdery, slightly green character of iris/orrris combined with a subtle woody backdrop. Blooming Opal is likely to suit those who prefer a brighter opening from bergamot, a creamy sandalwood base, and the lush scent of gardenia alongside the shared floral heart.
