The story behind the bottle.
Aqua Allegoria Bouquet de Mai, launched in 2012 by Guerlain and crafted by Thierry Wasser, captures the essence of a sunlit spring day. The fragrance opens with bright citrus and green notes that evoke the freshness of wild grasses and pink pepper, before settling into a heart of white flowers. This composition is light and airy, yet it retains a subtle animalic undertone that adds depth and warmth.
Apply this fragrance in light sprays to capture its sunlit freshness. It opens with bright citrus notes that dissipate quickly, so reapply throughout the day for sustained enjoyment. The white floral heart and animalic base notes develop gradually, making it best suited for daytime wear.
