The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2018, Aqua Allegoria Rosa Rossa by Guerlain is a Floral Fruity fragrance created by perfumer Thierry Wasser. It opens with the vibrant brightness of litchi and black currant, followed by bergamot and lemon, creating an effervescent freshness. The heart notes of rose and peony add a soft floral touch, while white musk, Iso E Super, cedar, and sandalwood provide warmth and depth in the base.

How to wear it

One or two sprays are enough for this fragrance as it blooms quickly on the skin. The top notes fade within an hour but leave behind a warm musky base that lasts throughout the day. It's best suited for daytime wear when you want a bright, fresh scent.
