Aqua Allegoria Angelique Lilas

This I put on from a vial and only one word crossed my mind: Heavenly !!! Didn't realize till now I love lilac so much, which is very prominent. It brought childhood memories, I remembered my grandmothers garden, how nice. Top: begins with sharp lilac but not unpleasant, I like it, with a citrus note to me, very fresh. Middle: it changes rapid to a smooth lilac and angelica, lilac on top. Than it gets warmer and warmer, just a little powderly, the right amount so it still is fresh, soft and lovely, lilac stays prominent all the time, I love it. Strong staying power 6-8 hours straight. Base is soft and lovely, could smell still the next day waking up. Found my best Aqua Allegoria for spring finally, already owe 2 favorites for summer. What a joy to regognize a favorite flower so well in a perfume. Bought immediate ofcourse.

A perfect twist on lilac. I would call it the scent of a lilac tree with green leaves, stump and all. I never knew what angelica smelled like until I tried this, and I must say it is absolutely a green, slightly spicy/herbal scent. The way it goes on is the way it stays throughout; a cologne. Refreshing, serene, feminine and lovely for spring and summer. Jeca said it perfectly, for spring forest fairies. It gives me the feeling of peace, and makes me very happy. Doesn't last long on my type of skin (dry skin)Sprayed on clothes it will last until wash. And anyways, these bottles are so huge you can spray continuously without worry. :-) The only green floral I have tried thus far and actually love. Recommended highly

Oh, love this. Some of these older Guerlain Aqua Allegorias are just treasures. This is a green note but not fresh green, more like earthy green, damp soil in wildflowers after the rain. After reading some of the reviews I was worried that this would be too much lilac, which I was not looking for but luckily, on me, its almost entirely angelica. Earthy, green wildflower, with just a hint of lilac, actually more heliotrope and tiniest touch of vanilla. Its a very unique scent but so natural smelling with the magic of older Guerlains. So easy and comforting to be in. Wonderful for the spring. If you find this discontinued beauty somewhere, don’t hesitate to investigate. A delight.

This is what I was expecting En Passant to be. But where En Passant falters, AL soars. It substitutes the rice note for angelica, and bravo! Angelica is a strange, heady green note. When I hear 'green' I picture a sparkling glass of French champaigne; but angelica goes down like a thick English ale. This is hte first time I find my self liking this note; it didn't work for me in the much more expensive Angelique Noir. This is a light, charming scent. Because it lays off the vetiver and musk it doesn't go the way of a stale plate of cheese on me. Guerlain, in their brilliance, give you Heliotrope and Cedar instead. This is a fragrance you'll just want to roll in.

A very pretty, spicy lilac that wears well in winter. The lilac is top but the heliotrope, angelica, pepper and jasmine all present strongly. I don't feel this is a ylang fragrance at all. A lovely spicy floral bouquet. It's always interesting when you get a spicy floral with no carnation present.This is not indolic or skanky but the jasmine gives it a little musk note.
