The story behind the bottle.
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.
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.
