The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Aqua Allegoria Lavande Velours by Guerlain was launched in 1999 and is a harmonious blend of lavender and violet, with refined notes of iris, sandalwood, and vanilla. Created by Jean-Paul Guerlain and Mathilde Laurent, this fragrance captures the essence of a French garden with its powdery and floral accords. The interplay between the fresh aromatic top note of lavender and the soft, velvety heart of violet creates an elegant balance, while the woody base notes ground it in warmth and comfort.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance in light layers — it opens with a bright aromatic note that fades quickly, leaving the powdery and woody base to linger. It’s best for daytime wear when you want a subtle yet elegant scent.
