Aqua Allegoria Rosa Verde

agree with the wellness garden impression. minty cucumber water on the spa patio next to the rose garden after the rain. while smelling within the first half hour you first get a soft pink rose that melts into cucumber and then mint, before the rose fades and the cucumber and mint start melting into a chypre scent. i'm not used to my nose being led in this way when it comes to soft floral designer scents, i am impressed. very close to the skin on a cooler rainy summer day, i'm sure it performs better on a hot day based on composition. while i'm clearly not the target audience, i'm often pleasantly surprised by how interesting aqua allegoria scents can be while staying 100% inoffensive and wearable to most. while i'd say the sillage underperforms with rosa verde (at least on this particular day), it's even more interesting than other aqua allegorias i've sampled. if you want to give the impression of a tall glass of iced tea/refreshing beverage of choice on a hot day to the people around you while exuding an air of sophistication, this is a solid contender. now i need to go watch a cure for wellness

I'm madly in love with it. I'm a lover of all fresh and clean fragrances but usually all my beloved perfumes have a very prominent citrus. This one is quite unique for me it's very green, fresh green leafs but there's also softness and feminine vibe of a very delicate flowery rose. It's delicious and soooo refreshing and green at the same time. Someone wrote here it's like a salad. I agree but in a good way. It's Like sitting outside in the a green and dewy garden, when it's cool and breezy and eating the most delicate and fresh salad . I love Guerlain aqua allegoria line for the beautiful vintage like bottles and and for making fragrances that focuses on prominet one note, I just wish it had a bit more strength to it. It fades out completely within 3-4 hrs.

I don't get why this fragrance is so divisive. Maybe it is because some people have bad associations with fresh rose scents? I cannot get it because I find this to be divinely beautiful. It has a well rounded combination of rose, fruits and fresh elements(cucumber and mint) and a hint of violet which makes it dreamy. The musks in here are also very creamy. It is a scent that evokes positive feelings, images of lying in a dewy rose garden in the summer biting into a watery pear. It is fresh, but voluptuous, airy but not lacking depth, happy but not childish. It has become one of my favourite fragrances! Please try it even if you don't usually like rose!

On my skin, it lasted for several hours with phenomenal projection - even in a nauseating train station setting. On me, Rosa Verde opens with the scent of fresh cucumber - those sweet, garden-picked ones I used to pluck right off the vine - blended beautifully with rose and a touch of iris. Feminine, but not sweet. It smells exactly the way it’s meant to: like a summer after-bath. To my nose, it feels more "moisturizing" or hydrating than aquatic, soft and soothing, strangely elegant. I loved it, I bought it, and I plan to use it as a base for layering, since it’s such an enveloping fragrance...

This smells exactly like dove cucumber deodorant spray that I used to put on when i was a teen, it's so refreshing!!! The first whiff is cucumber and a bit minty fresh. Nothing too sharp. I can't quite pinpoint the citrusy bergamot. Then the rose starts to creep in, It's very tamed, like a pink rose which just bloomed, not overripe, not overpowering at all, quite tolerable for sensitive noses. After a while of wearing it (2 hours), it did gave me a slight hadache. Update: someone said to me it smelled like an old lady perfume and i dont know how to take that.
