The Story

Aqua Allegoria Ylang & Vanille by Guerlain was launched in 1999 as part of the brand's commitment to blending luxurious materials with innovative fragrances. Created by perfumer Mathilde Laurent, this composition opens with a bright burst of ylang-ylang and carnation, quickly transitioning into a heart of jasmine before settling on a warm vanilla base. The result is an elegant interplay between floral brightness and sweet warmth, capturing the essence of Guerlain's legacy of using rare and luxurious ingredients.
