Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic
Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic Eau de Toilette is a clean citrus and herb pairing, mandarin orange and basil together from the first moment, and this is the 200ml refill of it. The whole thing stays bright and uncomplicated.
The mandarin is juicy and the basil green and slightly peppery beside it, and green tea at the heart keeps that freshness going with a dry, leafy quality. Sandalwood underneath gives it a soft, creamy finish and a touch of sweetness. It moves from zesty citrus through green tea into light wood, and the citrus, fresh spicy and green accords are what carry it.
Thierry Wasser composed Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic for Guerlain in 2007. Guerlain was founded in Paris in 1828 by Pierre-Francois-Pascal Guerlain, whose first boutique stood on the rue de Rivoli. Generations of family perfumers composed the house's signatures, from Aime Guerlain's Jicky in 1889 to Jacques Guerlain's Shalimar in 1925 and Jean-Paul Guerlain's Habit Rouge in 1965.
Moderate longevity and moderate sillage make it a close-wearing scent rather than a room-filling one. Spring and summer suit it best, autumn and winter remain wearable, and it works for professional wear, casual days and a night out. A 200ml refill is a lot of fragrance if this is one you wear every day.
