Aqua Allegoria Flora Rosa

I always wanted to try aqua allegoria line of guerlain but they're not widely available here.flora Rosa is the first and only one I've tried and I'm so impressed that decided to buy it even if I have to order it abroad I didn't expect to love it because red berries translate as very sour for me and I don't like sour zesty fruity scents.luckily they're not really sour on me.I'd rather call them tart and sweet Flora rose opens as a super pretty fruity floral.a burst of juicy,fresh,tart and sweet,sparkly red berries(very much like raspberry)blended with a youthful rose which is very natural and not over powering.I can also detect slightest hint of something like green tea sometimes,but not that I can call it a green scent It's so beautiful,refreshing and uplifting.I expected it to be very light and faint,something I can just smell by pressing my nose to my skin but on me,it projects quite well! I can smell pretty wafts of this fresh çcfrose-berry scent all around me at least for an hour.it takes two hours for it to calm down to an almost skin scent,this usually happens for me in less than an hour so I'm pleased with it's projection not just because I can easily smell it.I've already received two complements and it was not even a full wear!(I don't consider 2,3 sprays as full wear) longevity is about six hours on skin Another surprise was that I can detect iris while I usually can't pick it up when it's not prominent in a scent.this blend of raspberry,rose and iris in it's middle phase have a lipgloss kind of smell which I die for Dry down is a musky rose,powdery and clean.in this stage I sometimes have an illusion of smelling a whisper of white florals in background I can't choose which stage I enjoy more,all three are very lovely It can make an easy to wear,ageless spring,summer perfume. I wish I can manage to find a bottle as soon as possible,there's just 2mil left in my decant it's a great blend of my favorite notes and I love it very much

This turned out to be more unique than I expected. Berry and rose accords are very common pairing, but Guerlain made its own version stand out. It opens very berrylicious. But instead of the scent of generic sweet fruits, it’s very tart and realistic. From the nozzle it smells a lot like a Japanese plum wine (if you have never had it it smells like rose wine with an abundance of very tart berries), distinguishing itself from a teenager’s perfume. Out of the bottle I smell berry, rose and iris all equally intensely. The rose is light and feminine, the iris is earthy and powdery, all together making it a unique and beautiful concoction. The only other perfume that gave me this vibe was YSL Parisienne, another berry and rose concoction, however a lot sweeter and not at all powdery. Flora rosa definitely has more character. The longevity of this is only 2-3 hours. But I never expected much from that. This is the first one I’ve tried from Aqua Allegoria line. I will certainly pick up some more.

I was holding myself back at buying this on the spot. Such a beautiful scent! (I went back to grab it, anyway) I am biased towards perfumes with red berries note in them but this is done beautifully. It is lightly sour with a delicate little rose. I can't detect musk - the tart berries and rose take centre stage. It almost smells like roses and berries steeped in tea with a drop of honey. When I sniffed it closer to isolate the rose note, I was delighted by a blast of startlingly realistic fragrant white/pink roses in full bloom, hiding under the ripe berries. It is sweet, luscious and just mildly green. I originally mistook it for a simple scent( I liked it anyway) but it is not. This smells very tart in colder temperatures and more rosey in warmer temperatures. Sillage is actually moderate. I got a friend to sniff me XD Then again, this'd be a good "second skin scent". Lasted around 6 hours for me. P.S: the sprayer works excellently. It delivers a fine cloud of perfume.

This perfume is a beautiful, floral, rose scent which on my skin is fairly linear in that, what you smell at the first spritz, is pretty much what you get throughout. Some reviewers say that they can't smell rose in this, I can smell the rose, which to me, features predominantly in this fragrance, but there are also other floral notes which are unidentifiable to me (possibly white florals) and slight musc to freshen this composition. Ok so now that the basics of the notes have been mentioned, what do I think? This is gorgeous and fresh, light and inoffensive. This fragrance would be the safest blind buy in the world, as it's so light and pretty. The down side is that it doesn't last on me at all, I do need to keep re spritzing throughout the day and I would say that this fragrance can also be used as a layering scent. I'm glad that I have a huge bottle of this and I really enjoy wearing it, buy this with confidence and enjoy! It's beautiful!!

I know that Flora Rosa havn't got roaring and wowing here on fragrantica or massive followers, some complain it doesnt last, some its not rose-y enough, some that its one-dimensional. No intentions to persuade you. I already learnt that certain fragrance-profiles die on ones skin and blossom on anothers. Simple as that. On me is a charming fragrance, which keeps its depth during long hours, I smell dozens of things in it, - crushed stalks of green parts of plants, red berry bush which grows near roses, crisp and sour, even peonies on the morning, musky-citrusy... About such compositions I can say - all most complex things hide inside simplicity and other way round. Its a young musky morning rose in buds, surrounded by berry-trees and tiny droplets of morning dew on the grass, indulge yourself in barefoot walk at 5 am. If you have got a garden like that)

After having this one for a few years I've grown more impressed with it. It's a rose yet it has a tartness that makes it more than just a straight up rose. I think that tart note, I suppose from the berries, makes it more interesting and unique. It's not a complex or niche scent but it has that "something" that keeps me coming back for more, even during the colder days. There is something innocent and simple about it that I admire. Having tried many rose scents, this one has become special to me. It's probably my favorite from the Guerlain AA line thus far. I hope to get a back up bottle soon so I'll have it around for years to come. ( Anyone with an unwanted bottle, please feel free to contact me for swap options. )

I really like this. The rose in Flora Rosa is fresh, realistic, there is a greenness to it and some sharpness that makes you imagine a blooming rose bush along with its thorns. The hint of berries makes it fresh and slightly sour, in a good way. It's perfect to wear in warm weather as it feels like an instant refresher and there's a beautiful trail of rose and berries following you. It sadly doesn't last long on my skin, usually around 3 hours, so reapplying is a must. I only have about 30ml left in my old bottle and I'll be sad when it's gone, but I still like to apply it in the summer when I want to feel uplifted. It's definitely a feel-good spring/summer scent for me.

I know some say this is too tart for them but it doesn't seem to be so tart on me. I wore this today and received quite a few compliments. Of course the berry is quite pronounced. The rose is quite stately yet simplistic and together with the berry it is balanced on my skin. The musk is light as is the Iris but then that is just fine because this is beautiful. I am in love. The Aqua Allegoria line and most of Guerlain are so wonderful. The AA line is not the longest lasting but I find spritzing myself to be a real treat anyway. I cannot wait to get Teazzurra next. 10/10

Bought it with a 40% off discount, I would say I'm pleased to have it for my very first rose perfume. A bit too tart at the beginning, but after a while it turns into a gentle, clean, gorgeous rose scent along with a hint of green. The berry itself was fine - not too overwhelming but it definitely made the whole scent more crispy. Quite a delicate scent but, It didn't last for long in my case, only about 3~5 hours, plus it's the type of scent that's only noticeable if someone comes very close to me - like an actual flower. I like it that way.

This is just lovely! The best rose scent ever. I really love those Aqua Allegoria scents! It's rose and tart berries. Fresh, light, uplifting and still interesting enough. Rose note smells like natural rose bushes growing in the garden, very fresh and natural. Berries reminds me of crisp cold morning in the moor. It's a summer scent, but it's full of optimism, so I am considering buying it for autumn/winter. Best things are simple, like this perfume.

A floral and tart combination of rose and rasberry/summer berries with a hint of soapy violet at the end. This is a simple but elegant, fresh summery fragrance that stays close to the skin. Fantastic for everyday spring/summer wear and will probably suit most people. If you like roses this is definitely worth a try.

Pretty. Red berries and roses, with a hint of green on the breathe-down. Fresh, lovely, refreshing - perfect for spring or summer. This does not last long - maybe 3 hours at most, and it does not project much. I recommend carrying a vial with you to re-spray.

I love this. It is a tart rose but rose is the dominant note with the tart berries that comes off as a rhubarb. There's lots of musk, too. This reminds me of a rose version of Pamplelune. Love it.

This is my sixth AA and my first let down. It's ok. There is nothing offensive about this whatsoever. It smells quite natural, as the whole line should, but it just doesn't move me the way the others have. I do get rose and some berry. Not too sweet, not too sour. It is very very light though which hasn't been the case with the others. It may be that I'm disappointed in this because I received my bottle of L'Artisan Drole de Rose in the same order and I'm in love with that. It's is a hard competition and this time, for the first time, Guerlain AA lost. Still, I'm batting way over average with five to one loves to oks. All this said, I think it's a high quality perfume and would be lovely for anyone looking for a mild, fruity rose scent. And a bonus is it never turns old lady. In conclusion, lol!, I'd love to swap this for something of interest! Let me know if you'd like to. It really is darling, but Drole de Rose is more "me."

A true spring/summer-scent. Fresh and a bit sweet Roses, some red Berries and Musk. Elegant, chic, flirty, uncomplicated. A happy and a sunny scent. timeless -both for the teenager and for the mature woman. Also a great scent to mix with darker/woodier parfumes, I tried La Prairie Platinum - a wowfactor indeed. En äkta vår/sommardoft. Fräscha och lite söta Rosor, lite röda bär och Musk. Elegant, Chic, flirtig, okomplicerad. En glad och solig doft. Tidlös - både för tonåringen och den mogna kvinnan. Oxå en fin doft att mixa med mörkare/träigare dofter. jag provade La Prairie Platinum - wow faktiskt.

I bought the miniature of this - along with 3 others at the airport as well, and until now I ́m far from disappointed. It begins with a blast of red berries, and in this case, as melia statet, they are quite sour. When the rose emerges from behind, a few minutes later, it is a surprise, because you get a sourish smell mixing with rose, a very unusual mix and not bad at all. The rose takes the lead from then on, and 3 hours later it is there, together with the musk. I can ́t feel the iris well. Fresh and demure, I like it.

This one would have been nice to have around a couple of months ago when the weather was unbearably hot. It's a cool and refreshing fragrance that first smells of a jammy tea rose. Half an hour later you are left with the dewiness of a tart rose, musk and orange blossom. It's got good longevity and projection for an Aqua Allegoria. It's very enjoyable to wear and a fairly simple scent. Some days you just don't want to think too much about the perfume you are wearing.

On my search of a green watery rose I came across a bottle of this. It's a green and light rose scent accompanied by the berries and a musky dry down. The berries are a bit sour preventing it from becoming a flat rose scent. It's very pleasant and uncomplicated and I would consider this a musky berrie-rose scent. It's not exactly the watery rose I was looking for but it's a nice spring/ summer fragrance

I used to love it before, but now, suddenly it gives me the same celery-like green note as the Sea & Sun in Cadaques. Fortunately, this note is not as distracting here, but I feel sad that the flower is gone, and only the stem remains. Edit: it is not an old bottle so it must be my body chemistry not the perfume gone bad.

Flora Rosa is rose-berry perfume done right. Slightly sweet rose perfectly balanced by tart berries. In typical Aqua Allegoria fashion, the notes are few but the composition is beautiful. I find myself reaching for this one often in the spring and summer as it is refreshing, airy and classy.
