Aqua Allegoria Limon Verde

Very Grassy opening with lemon and zesty peals, then after a minute the fig starting to ripe with a help of little bit of white sugar. I get only a hint of tropical fruits with its happy vibe and tonka is undistinguished somewhere in the sweetness. And that is how it stays - sweet figs, grassy and lemony - even in the drydown. The notes are super natural, nothing smells synthetic here. Its a light white cloud in the middle of a clear blue sky. A little song by a creek on hot summer day, absolutely wonderful! I rock it on our hot and humid summer. Its my summer signature. I prefer it by far over men summer scents, even more then Dior Sport (which i like very much). Yes the longevity is short, 2 hours on my skin. Projection is for the first 1.5 hours, and it has light silage - sometimes lemony and some times figs. Very playful. I always reapply after 2-3 hours with about 5-6 sprays, the atomizer diffuse the liquid very light and wide like a cloud which gives very refreshing feeling. The more I reapply the better the performance so the fragrance very versatile for usage. Also on the hair and clothes the scent stays very long so i recommend to spray there for intensity. Aqua Allegoria is so precised naming - it's a splash of scented water for refreshment. I discoverer this scent when i was looking for a present for my selective sister so i was looking something very light and summery, not something that obligate for something :) In the end i took two bottles, one for me and one for her. Tried herbal fresca from the line and im thinking to get that. Also tried mandarin basilic witch i smelled in the other fragrances many times so i wasn't so impressed, though it smelled good. Of course i'm intrigued so i wish i could sample the other scents in this line. Bravo Aqua Allegoria!

I bought the Xmas set (in early Oct, I know, just for me) which included a 125mL bottle of Limon Verde, a 7.5mL mini of Limon Verde, a 7.5mL mini of Pera Granita and a rather lovely makeup bag. Am not sorry, I love this fragrance to bits. This is the perfect lime. I and have a soft spot for lime... maybe it's all those Thai salads, or nights of sipping mojitos? In my opinion, Aerin Lauder's Waterlily Sun smells like a lime fragrance (although there is no lime), and is well done. But the asking price is too high. Similarly, Tom Ford's lime offering is a sophisticated, superior interpretation on this very interesting fruit. But honestly, who's going to pay $400 a bottle of overpriced ego marketing? Certainly not me. Then I tried the Guerlain bottle, and there was an instant merging of souls. It was pleasurably sharp, in a key lime way, being tangy and slightly astringent. It was also green, like the grass and trees of the French countryside. It was also sweet, warm and rounded - not really like sugar cane or tonka bean - but more like giving balance to the whole composition. According to taste, it was my favourite out of the bunch. It was also the cheapest - just over $100. The silage is great for about 15 min, then it can only be smelled up in occasional wafts and in close proximity. For a Guerlain, this is abismal. But for mainstream perfume, this average for an EDT. Longevity is good though, 9hrs +

I'm very happy to have gotten a bottle of this gem from Guerlian and their Aqua Allegoria line. This is such a beautiful, light and airy citrus summer-fresh fragrance. It seems watery/aquatic, liquid sweetness and a citrus where it is fresh, soft and green rather than sharp, zingy and acidic, like you'd expect from reading the notes. The opening is citrus fruits, and a little tropical coconut flesh and fig (which reminds me with the coconut, and general type of texture of this one's DNA, of another Guerlain AA I have called 'Coconut fizz') then comes an effervescent raw sugarcane, along with a vision of melting icecubes and fizz tickling the inside of your nose as you raise a glass to your mouth. Truly, this reminds me of refreshing cocktails in the garden. Like a homemade spritzer or mojito that quenches your thirst on one of the hottest days of the year, where there isn't a cloud to be seen in a brilliant blue sky or a worry in your mind. I love this fragrance a lot! It lasts well on me and creates a fabulous zesty fresh scent bubble. Worth a full bottle for sure and perfect for summer or when you want a pick me up and a reminder of such days.

So fresh, so lively, so clean. Ahi me! Absolutely my favorite fragrance, even though there are others I wear more frequently. Perfect citrus fragrance. Granted I'm biased because it seems like the Guerlain signature fragrance base was formulated specifically for my skin...havent tried one yet that didnt smell heavenly on me and better than in the bottle. That said, I have yet to find another citrus scent by anybody that captures this "fresh squeezed" sensibility...i.e., without smelling heavy like masculine cologne or cleaning products. Pure joy and effervescence. Only downside is it dissipates as quickly as most citrus scents, but I am quite happy to reapply as needed throughout the day without any fear it will overpower. Silver lining: as it wears off towards evening, it layers nicely with almost any other perfume, and wears off as the evening perfume starts to warm up and take center stage. So aggravated this was discontinued, but glad I own backup, and sincerely hope they re-release in the future.

I bought a sample of this as a part of an AA sample quartet, and quite forgot about it. Today I felt like using something refreshing, and the name seemed promising so I gave it a try. A hidden jem. I love citruses and they smell great on my skin, so technically this was a safe venture, but I never expected this scent to be so beautiful. It's very fresh,but there's something almost yummy about it. Somehow, it reminds me of a little tropical petit four. I think that the combination of tonka bean, sugar cane and probably fig (a note I'm not too fond of, and luckily can't smell it on my skin with this scent) give it a bit of a pastry vibe, and it's really, really good. Unlike many of the appreciators here, on my skin this perfume goes "in reverse" - from sweet pastry citrus into a more citrusy, less sweet scent as time goes by. A total summer scent, but one that combines freshness with a mild sweetness. Unisex IMO, and totally FB worth. Love!

I like this a lot; I'm beginning to think I love everything that combines citrus with sugar or fig. Use all three and you're bound to come up with a winner in my eyes. It smells exactly like a cocktail, only without the suggestion of stickiness. Sweet in a deliciously fresh way. It is quite simple and it doesn't change much but in my eyes that's not a bad thing; afther the lovely opening there's none of those nasty surprises or even that mild heartbreak when less beloved notes start taking center stage, like there so often is with a more complex scent. Like most summer scents it doesn't last too long, only a couple of hours; but re-applying is nice and refreshing so I don't mind. I'd like a small bottle of this but it's not on top of my wishlist, so I hope it sticks around long enough for me to decide (or win the lottery!).

Guerlain might not have developed the Aqua Allegoria line to everyone's liking, but Limon Verde may be an exception. I bought this fragrance as a blind buy and ended up really liking it. This one is one of my favorites in my 300+ collection, however not the best one in my collection either. It is very fresh and slightly sweet. A spring and summer fragrance. This fragrance is unisex, but tends to lean more towards the feminine side. Starts out with a lot of citrus and then develops into a more sweet fragrance, thanks to the fig and sugar cane. However it does not overpower the overall freshness of the lime. A very good fragrance overall, but may be a bit too feminine for some men. For women, this is a perfect fresh fragrance for the summer. I would recommend it for anyone looking for a more unique summer fragrance.

I echo the praise for another Guerlain gem from the Aqua Allegoria line. I agree with the other comments that say Limon Verde should be considered a body spray. It is refreshing on a warm day, and I would happily repurchase it again as long as I can still find a new bottle for around $30.... and I can off fragrancenet. I also like that I can easily switch to an evening summer scent with no worries of scent carryover. EDIT: after wearing this for a few days, it's elevated to one of my favorite from the Aqua Allegoria line, right behind Lys Soleia and ahead of Herba Fresca. It quickly becomes a personal scent, so don't expect a lot of compliments. There's a fizzy herbal element that's hard to describe but that seems to last a long time. I can pick it up hours later. Moved up to a "love" from me.

WOW!! I LOVE THIS!! Imagine it is a hot summer day at a beach resort in Cancun and you are with your friends on a girl's trip. You just took a shower and you have your hair down and loose white shirt that is left unbuttoned. You are having fun sitting outside with your friends ordering drinks at brunch. The drink you ordered has arrived and It has freshly squeezed lime and ice cubes, the fizzyness from carbonation and little bits of mint. You can even smell it softly as the waiter puts it in front of you. You laugh as your friend says something funny and you feel the breeze in your hair, the sun on your shoulders-as you take a sip and you instantly feel refreshed. ThAT IS WHAT IT SMELLS LIKE.

i am not a Guerlain girl, never been, though i tried many many times with so many different scents, but never had any luck. i do like this one unexpecetdly, i like it a lot, very pretty mellow subtle summer scent. it smells like summer here - green grass, a bit of dust, and, to me, lots of fig. not that we have figs here, it is such a rare luxury, but i happen to like both to eat and to smell figs. Limon Verde is such a pretty summer in the bottle - the real summer + some imaginable summer. longevity is not so good, it lasts a few hours and then subtly but surely dissapears, but you can always reapply, since it is so subtle to begin with. sillage is soft and close to skin, which i like.

The initial blast is almost like a photorealistic lime juice bursting out of the sprayer. It's so fresh, dewy and wet I almost want to taste it! The drydown is much sweeter and more fruity than green. It actually reminds me of D&G - L'Imperatrice (more on paper than on my skin), but without the sharp pink pepper and rhubarb notes, that ruin that fragrance for me. Overall it's a happy little gem and I can't wait for summer to wear it properly! I only hoped that the green notes will be more prominent, maybe I should try Herba Fresca then... ETA: After wearing it for a few days, I feel like the drydown is not that sweet and more greener than it seemed to me at first. Yay!

Super airy and mouth watering lime to start. Great opening. Reminiscent of Virgin Island Water. There’s no rum listed, but I even get a little bit of a boozy edge to this. The green notes definitely come through. Mildly leafy and fresh. ‘General fruits’ are peeking through in the background. A bit mango-like. Stays similar all the way to the dry down. Gets a little fresher/cleaner. Not quite soapy, but crisp. The lime stays sweet and sharp. I love this. I'm not sure if it's different enough to need to own both this and Virgin Island Water (or any of the other similar scents like Malibu or Volcano), but it's incredible none-the-less. So good.

Limon Verde is one of my all-time favorite perfumes, and I've never found anything quite like it. I love the super tangy and invigorating burst of lime, with that fruity sugar base that softens the fragrance. Somehow it makes me think of my favorite cocktail: Caïpirinha. Personally, I don't really pick up on the fig, or at least not the fig leaf. It's a very juicy and refreshing scent, perfect for those scorching hot days. Sure, it has a modest longevity and sillage, but it was my summer delight after a shower. I dream that Guerlain will bring this perfume back.

It's truly a unisex fragrance, not being obtrusively fresh and masculine I fell in love with it at first smell. Usually I'm wary of citruses and would veer on the fruity side of things for summer. However, between this and Herba Fresca, Limon Verde won hands down. It's a calm, sweet and fresh smell, invigorating at the same time and equivalent of a sunny, green day in the park. Beautiful, however as with most citrus fragrances not very long lasting. As it comes in generous sizes of 75ml and 125, I don't mind, happily reapply for those zesty top notes. Yum!!!

Based on the price my expectations weren't super high, but Limon Verde is STUNNING. It's the happiest, brightest fragrance I've ever smelled. This comparison is going to sound weird but it reminds me of making a delicious guacamole or salsa. The chopping of the parsley and cilantro, the zesty sweetness of the lime, the sun shining bright through the window. The second I smelled this I knew it was bottle worthy. The only downside is performance: 2-3 hours with kind of low projection. BUT I'm willing to look past that any day for something so beautiful.

It’s more in line with many Atelier Cologne scents thank anything else. It has a certain something but it is NOT mint. It’s floral that isn’t listed but I’m terrible at identifying florals. At first i immediately decided I needed a full bottle but after dry down i think it’s more like Pacific Lime than I originally thought. Purchasing an outrageously expensive discontinued bottle of citrus edt is not the best investment since it is only going to last an hour or less on the skin. I still love it but not enough to break the bank

one whiff of this after blindly buying it was enough to have me purchasing a backup bottle immediately. this is an instantly refreshing lime bomb that reminds me of a caipirinha in a perfume bottle (so much so that I wish I could drink it). yes, it does die down rather quickly on me and has next to no sillage, but when it smells this good and natural I don't really care. for those who like to layer, I have used this with EldO's Fils de Dieu and Rochas man's Eau de Rochas to great success

Summery light playful fragrance for a man but unisex. The more I wear it the more I really LIKE this. I get more coconut than lime you find in opening if you look for it as a distinguishable note but this is a clean casual scent fine for office or running out. It lasts a little longer than you think at first blush, a morning, afternoon or evening long, but projection is always close. That's in a professional, adult, and sophisticated way but not "old-man."

I love fig, I love lime and I love this scent! Like mojito drink in hot summer day. Lime is so fresh, not synthetical at all, only pure lime! There is little bit sugary and fig notes too, so those make it little bit sweetness too. Perfect for hot summer days to cooling you and your company. :) Longevity is moderate about 4 hours, so you can sprit more during the day. Sillage is moderate fresh but soft. Good job GUERLAIN!

Amazing! Smells like the hotel I stayed in when I went to Spain, so it brings many great memories 🥰 It’s a photorealistic lime so there will be a bit of bitterness like in lime zest, but it’s so beautifully done and a bit more complex. I agree with the person who said it smells like you’re making guacamole.... but the most luxurious fresh sweet guacamole ever 😍 Haven’t tried longetivity but I will update later 😍😍
