Aqua Allegoria Bouquet de Mai

It starts out with a fruity burst of citrus. I say fruity because rather than being the fresh and typically sharp type of citrus, the lemon here is very much of the tart variety with some sweetness; like the lemon part of the lemon meringue pie. I don't get much of any pepper, maybe a little at first but it just vanishes into the lemons. The florals are a softer presence, and are never assertive. They just sort of float around in a cloud of sunshine and springtime and grassy meadows with little flowers everywhere. It dries down and the fruity lemons become fainter, the flowers-in-the-meadow scent lingering. This is one of my favorites so far in the AA line. There's a time and place where I want to smell complex and make a statement, and there are other times I just want to smell like a pretty girly girl with class. This is a must have for sunshine days.

mmm this is jummy fresh floral and slighlty fruity aswell. The whit floral is slightly sweeten as in Elie saab the grapefruit brightens it up and making it almost a bit sour, its almost a tad to sour right away . the green gras note makes it feal like its a walk in the garden a Bright sunny day With flowers blooming all ower . pink pepper yes a slight touch of it not to much This is a realy Bright and happy scent to me It does remind me of some other perfumes but at the moment i can not figuere out wich it is This shure is suitable for all ladys With a joyous happy heart .. Not to serios not to shy . just happy and full of life Not to young not to old, I can imagin this will be great for a rainy day, to lifte the mood and expectasion for sunny days and blue skies to come ones again realy pretty

très léger et fleurit, sentait bon la rose, parfum inoffensif et attachant de qualité, sillage et tenue pauvres

11. august 2012 This year travel exclusive Guerlain "Aqua allegoria" didn ́t impress me at all. I love the last year "Bouquet nro2" but i find this "Bouquet de mai" is being too dry. The white flowers are huge here, but so is the green note, which really distracts me personally. Look at the notes: grass and grapefruit are both bitter notes and they are dominanting the white flowers note. The pepper note is just slightly noticeble and i would like it to be more prominent. The drydown is bit softer, since the dry grass note is not that prominnet anymore, but still it leaves me wanting for something more, more creamy notes i would say. It has a good lasting power and sillage and would be good for spring indeed. Actually it might be also qite wearable during warm autumn as well. But i will repeat once again: this time minimal composotion will not do as it did last 2 years. There are much much better white florals out there and only because this is Guerlain and limited travel exclusive edition doesn ́t help much it to become a favorite of mine sadly.

smells like sweat... it is most definitely the grapefruit note. Grapefruit always smells like sweat to me, as it does to a whole lot of other people too. Something to be aware of when buying perfume with grapefruit, you might smell like sweat to others..!
