Aqua Allegoria Figue-Iris by Guerlain was launched in 2008 and is a proof of the brand's heritage of using luxurious materials. Created by Jean-Paul Guerlain, Marie Salamagne, and Sylvaine Delacourte, this fragrance opens with a bright citrus-aromatic burst from bergamot and grapefruit, which gives way to the velvety texture of fig leaf and iris. The base notes of vanilla and vetiver provide a warm earthy depth, balancing the fresh, green top notes. It is an embodiment of Guerlain's tradition of blending rare and luxurious ingredients.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance in light sprays — it develops best with skin warmth. The citrus top notes are fleeting, but the iris and vetiver base will linger through the evening. It's perfect for an afternoon or early evening affair.
Jean-Paul Guerlain
Founding perfumer · 89 fragrances · b. 1937 · French
“I am the last Guerlain to make perfume. After me, the house continues — but the family chapter closes.”
Jean-Paul Guerlain is the fourth and final generation of Guerlain family perfumers, a lineage that spans nearly two centuries of French fragrance history. Taking the creative helm of the house in 1955, he continued the family's tradition of creating deeply personal, emotionally rich fragrances. His masterpieces — Habit Rouge, Vétiver, Samsara, and Héritage — are cornerstones of the perfume canon. Jean-Paul brought a more modern, sometimes daring sensibility to the Guerlain tradition, while always maintaining the house's legendary commitment to the finest raw materials.
