The story behind the bottle.
Aqua Allegoria Gentiana by Guerlain, launched in 2001, is a Floral Green fragrance that embodies the essence of French elegance and innovation. The composition begins with a bright citrus trio of grapefruit, lime, and bergamot, followed by gentian and pear notes that add a delicate sweetness. These top and middle notes give way to a warm, powdery base of musk and sandalwood, creating a harmonious balance between freshness and warmth.
Apply two sprays to the neck and wrists for optimal longevity. The citrus notes are vibrant but short-lived, so it's best to layer this fragrance throughout the day for continuous freshness. It reads better close to skin than in a wide sillage.
