Aqua Allegoria Flora Cherrysia

Today is day one of skin testing this and I already have to fight back the impulse to whip my credit card out and buy the biggest bottle I can of this. Like I have Guerlain open in another tab right now. Maybe its because I don't have any watery florals (for spring? groundbreaking.) This opens with water drenched delicate fruity florals, like you're eating an ethereal fruit salad under the cover of a blossoming tree. The rain just stopped and the grass is damp. Once it settles, the fruitiness pulls back revealing a more voluptuous floral bouquet that doesn't crest too powdery. The bed it lies on is a pristine sparkling musk, like picking up professionally washed clothes. At $155 for a 125mL EDT, I am satisfied with its longevity. I first applied it at 7:30 in the morning, it became a clean skin scent 3 hours later. That skin scent lingered on me for another 2 hours until it faded (to be fair I was running late and didn't moisturize today which could be contributing to weaker staying power) the scent trail you leave behind is very pretty with this one. Wearing this makes me feel very cool, yet approachable and very put together.

Very clean scent. The watermelon is fresh but the rose gives it an almost honey-like note. It doesn't last very long on skin like most aquas allegorias but somehow it stays on clothes for days. I have a very sensitive sense of smell so I can't tolerate many fragrances well but this is one of my all time favorites. I'm a man so I only wear it at home but, to me at least, it's a dream come true. It's a great way to relax after a long day.

~ Fresh Watermelon, Dewey Cherry Blossom Petals, Bright Bergamot This opens up with a beautiful mix of delicate cherry blossom, bright bergamot and some fresh juicy watermelon Such a beautiful combination of notes, paired with an equally adorable bottle. Definitely my favorite of the Aqua Alegoria line! This will smell absolutely stunning in the warmer months! Silage: Soft <-> Moderate Longevity: 4-5 Hours

I find this edt pretty fresh, floral, not quite citric as the notes show here. I like it quite much, the duo of rose-cherry keeps it floral, then the watermelon gives it the freshness I adore, but I do not think that I would wear it in summer, it gets somehow too sweet on me. A good choice for the light fresh floral lovers. My allegoria!

Cherry blossom, pink florals, pear, and an undercurrent of soft rose, all on a white woody base. Absolutely stunning. Like an upscale version of every cherry blossom scent combined. I think it was very clever to put in the woody notes -it rounds out the floral and tempers the fruit from becoming screechy. Love it.
