My „no choice(s)“: The complete “Les Extraits” collection from Parfums de Marly. Uninspired, poor longevity (for PdM fragrances) and overpriced. Add to that implausible stories about unique ingredients from their own mandarin plantation...etc...I am really disappointed and even a little angry. There are so many better products within their own brand!

Finally got my nose on Harmony and yeah… it’s that luxury clean citrus water vibe. Think grapefruit/bergamot blast up top, super bright and polished, not “lemon cleaner.” After the first 20–30 mins it smooths out into this airy, watery musk thing—like citrus slices in chilled mineral water at a fancy hotel lobby. It stays fresh the whole time, just gets softer and more “pressed linen” as it dries down. Performance on me: moderate projection for about an hour, then it sits closer. Longevity around 6–8 hrs depending on heat. Sillage is polite—people notice if they’re near you, not a room filler. Best use: hot weather, office, running around, post-shower, flights. It’s not a “date night banger,” more like I smell clean and expensive without trying. If you like LV-style bright freshies / citrus-musks, you’ll probably get along with it. If you want beast mode or something deep/sweet, this ain’t that. Picked up Scentora 267 because I wanted that LV Symphony style “sparkly luxury citrus” without paying LV money. And yeah… it’s basically bright grapefruit/bergamot citrus water in the cleanest way. Not Lemon Pledge, not bathroom cleaner—more like citrus slices in chilled mineral water at a fancy hotel. Opening: instant grapefruit/bergamot pop. Super crisp, juicy, kinda “expensive fresh.” Mid: it stays citrus-forward but smooths out. On my skin there’s a slight ginger-ish warmth that keeps it from being totally flat. Drydown: clean musky “fresh shirt” with a leftover citrus glow. It doesn’t turn sweet or heavy, it just stays airy and put-together. Performance: for a freshie it’s solid—projects decently early, then becomes a clean bubble. Longevity is good enough that I’m not mad at it, especially for the price. When I’d wear it: heat, office, errands, post-shower, days I just want to smell clean and expensive without thinking. If you’re expecting a loud night-out scent, this isn’t that. It’s more easy luxury freshness.
