The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2005, Aqua Allegoria Winter Delice by Guerlain is an ode to the crisp and invigorating essence of winter. The fragrance opens with a refreshing burst of fir and pine, evoking the coolness of coniferous forests on a frosty morning. As it evolves, resin adds depth and warmth to the composition, while opoponax brings a smoky sweetness that contrasts beautifully with the fresh spicy notes. Sugar and vanilla in the base provide a comforting finish, wrapping the senses in a cozy embrace.

How to wear it

This fragrance's top notes are bright and fresh, but they fade quickly. Two sprays will ensure that the warm base notes have time to develop fully. It’s best for cooler weather when you want a scent that feels both invigorating and comforting.
