The Story

Aqua Allegoria Mentafollia, launched by Guerlain in 2004 and crafted by Jean-Paul Guerlain, is a Floral Green fragrance that weaves together the freshness of citrus with the depth of woody notes. The composition opens with grapefruit and mandarin orange, offering a bright and zesty beginning before transitioning into a heart of jasmine and rose. This floral warmth is then grounded by green tea and atlas cedar, creating a scent that feels both uplifting and earthy.

Application Tips

Apply one to two sprays to your pulse points. The grapefruit and mandarin orange notes are vibrant but short-lived, so ensure you let it settle for a few minutes before heading out. This fragrance is best suited for daytime wear when the freshness of its opening notes can shine.

Jean-Paul Guerlain portrait
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.

The story behind the bottle.

The crisp aroma of freshly picked herbs and the sun-warmed bark of an old cedar tree, where the scent of green tea and citrus mingles with floral notes.
