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.

Perfect for Spring! Beautifully fresh and feminine - an intimate scent which genuinely makes you feel happy. A lovely choice for those occasions when strength of scent would not be welcome. It needs reapplied but the joy from the top-up is worth the inconvience. A favourite!

beautiful, dewy yet powdery, breezy and refreshing, a bright fruity floral. this IS the color pink manifested into scent and distilled into a bottle! it manages to be youthful and glowing, silky and practically beaming, but not immature at all. gosh i LOVE this 10/10

I love this perfume a lot! The bottle is gorgeous and the smell is very flowery but not “freshly” flowery. It is more for winter or autumn, quite too heavy for summer. It has a very interesting scent so it is hard to pick one note, but it is not boring at all

I blind bought this. 30 minutes after spraying it on my wrist I made an order for a refill bottle. Do with that information what you will. Longevity is also not bad at all especially for an edt. Projection is a bit intimate but i do not mind that at all.

I think that this fragrance is adorable. On my skin I can smell a lot of sweet, juicy, delicios watermelon and I want to eat myself. :D Even in the winter, it stay good on me and lasts more than 10 hours.

Very pretty cherry blossom. I get the watermelon as well especially when first sprayed. A really pretty girly scent. Nice & fresh for a hot day. Fresh but also sweet.

Skating on an ice rink of congealed pure rose water and cherry sakura petals. gorgeous. Very light and refreshing. smells like hopes and dreams.

This is pretty and so far the only cherry blossom fragrance I like.

I like Aqua Allegoria Flora Cherrysia by Guerlain, but it doesn't wow me in any way. It smells like your typical watery, pink and vaguely floral scent for girly girls and a bit like something Barbie would wear. It is a very artificial and not natural smelling perfume. In the top notes I liked the hint of citrus from the bargamot, but I found the watery and fruity watermelon too much and a bit saccharine sweet from the get go. I could have done without this and I think that lemon blossom instead would have made this smell better in a more balanced way. I loved the floral notes of cherry blossom and rose in the heart of this fragrance, since it made me think of romance and spring time. I'm not mad on the pear note though and I again think that it makes this perfume too watery, sweet and fruity. Kind of like some sort of fruity cooler you drink from a glass pitcher. The base notes were nice though and the musk and violet here really gave this perfume a nice and powdery and musky base that made me think a bit of the smell of their (Guerlain's) Météorites pearls. It added the right amount of sophistication to this fragrance without making it smell mature. I got 5 hours wear from a test of this fragrance on my skin and a moderate sillage. I reccomend it for both spring and summer and as something you spray on yourself during the day. Aqua Allegoria Flora Cherrysia is a very light and fresh fragrance. Altogether, I'd give Aqua Allegoria Flora Cherrysia a good but not excellent 7/10. You at least wouldn't offend anyone at the office wearing this and it does smell pretty and feminine. Not challenging smelling at all too.

had i not already fallen in love with (and purchased) Flora Salvaggia i don't think i would have had a proper reference point to fully appreciate this Allegoria. Flora Cherrysia is the softer sibling of the two. a diffused yet ever present cherry blossom. the same ozonic freshness as Salvaggia, but with bergamot tenderly leading the way to melon and a warm landing on Guerlain's musk. a cloud of floral effervescence. it feels soft, it feels pretty. this is comforting, like getting a hug from that friend who gives the best hugs and wears lovely perfume that you never ask the name of cos it's their secret. this feels like the best hug giver's secret fragrance. this perfume reminds me of something from my youth that made me feel safe and loved. i wanted violets without drowning in powder; they gave us Flora Salvaggia. i wanted sakura without drowning in powder; they gave us Flora Cherrysia. they're on to something with these more recent Flora releases, as for many years prior i'd never clicked with anything from the Allegoria line. now i have two Allegorias purchased the same year.

This scent is so romantic and beautiful. On myself the bergamot is quite strong and gives a fresh spiciness. The rose and cherry blossom are soft and very pretty. I personally don't get enough watermelon (wish it was stronger), but I guess it's quite a soft scent and adds to the aquatic notes in the fragrance. The trail of the scent is much different than what I smell on my skin. If I press my nose into my wrist the bergamot is overwhelming and the florals only show up in the after smell at the back of my pallet, I can almost taste them. But the trail is full of wonderful pink florals and is so feminine. I understand why this is listed as unisex but I personally find it very feminine. This is perfect for spring, and will also work wonderfully in the summer. I can see how heat would really amp up the florals. This fragrance is perfect for everyday wear.

I've spent a pretty long time at Guerlain's counter looking for the right scent for my mom, and I reckon, Flora Cherrysia might be the best one from the whole Aqua Allegoria line. To me, at least. The scent is wonderful. It's refreshing, aquatic but not your typical rose water. Cherry blossom seems to be a bit more prevalent here than the rose, and together as a whole, these two give a very nice character to the scent. I didn't expect much silage and longevity out of Flora Cherrysia but was pleasantly surprised with a complete opposite result where the scent managed to last the whole day and left a thin veil-like trail. Even though this wouldn't be my personal pick for my own fragrance collection, I enjoyed testing out the scent and had an overall wonderful experience. Definitely worth checking out. Got no regrets for buying it.

I just got this today and this was a bit underwhelming. It smells like a mixture of water, bergamot, grass and cherry blossom. I expected something like L’imperatrice by D&G, maybe more floral and less fruity. Unfortunately, it was neither fruity nor floral. I am hoping this does better in summer, since sometimes in the heat, these types of scents actually do better. Lasted 3 hours on my skin in tropical winter weather. However it is a light, fresh and inoffensive scent, very much daytime appropriate. It could easily be a unisex fragrance, leaning feminine. I believe this will be a good layering scent as well. I’ll keep experimenting with it during the upcoming seasons.

It is a lovely but, on me, a very faint fragrance. I keep spraying and spraying to get any kind of scent out of it. But once its layered enough, it is very lovely. It dries down to a layered pear, peony, cherry blossom, only a hint of watermelon to me. Hint of the ozonic fragrance, kind of like the cloud where the fruit and flower notes rest on. Very subtle, sweetness without any heaviness. A sense of catching the scent in the air around me when I move rather than smelling it on me. Layered enough to continue to be interesting. If I were the creator of this, I would have seen if I could get linden blossom as a note into this one. Hm. Lovely but ah so faint.

It overall smells good, I got compliments, but the sillage is poor and I wish the perfume was softer (not weaker). The opening is a heavy bergamot cherry blossom with a hint of watermelon, then 1-3 hours later morphs into a musky floral, then around 4-6 hours it's a clean skin scent. I have a sample, while the price for a full bottle and the scent aren't that bad, I feel the notes are heavier than it should be to be really agreeable. I'm still hesitating and will use up my sample easily, but I have plenty other citrus floral perfumes in my collection that I prefer.
