Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Granada Salvia, $174.
Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Granada Salvia, $174.
New to the Guerlain's Aqua Allegoria collection, sweet and zesty this fragrance includes a medley of summer fruits. Including blackcurrant, lemon, and bergamot, the hero ingredient that the brand says is the guiding thread of precious citrus fruit known as "Calabrian green gold" in both fragrances. For those that don't know, bergamot is bright green, and the size of a large orange and perfumers across the globe have had a love affair with its potent, tangy appeal for centuries. The peel gives Earl Grey tea its distinctive floral aroma, and poets have labelled this the fruit of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, beauty, and sexuality. From bergamot, mossy, sage or (salvia in Italian), a dash of pomegranate, with rose, trickled over a generous pour of white musk, and patchouli completes this scent. With the promise of warm weather to come, this could be the perfect summer cocktail for your skin.
Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Orange Soleia Spray, $174.
Equally luscious, this fragrance hero’s blood orange, an aroma that will spellbind citrus fragrance fans. Orange grown in sunny Sicily, blended with bergamot, is complemented by a splash of spicy pink pepper, topped with mint and petitgrain (essential oil extracted from the leaves and green twigs of the bitter orange tree). Finally, its the creamy tonka bean and white musk that makes it last all night long. We’re glad we can share what for us are two perfect summer scents that have managed to bottle the very best sun-ripened goodness from Mother Nature for you to wear.
