The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2002 by Guerlain, Aroma Allegoria Exalting Aromaparfum is a warm and spicy Oriental Woody fragrance for women. This composition opens with the brightness of citrus notes like bitter orange and bergamot, which are balanced by aromatic spices such as cardamom and coriander. The heart of the fragrance features neroli and cypress, adding an herbal freshness that contrasts beautifully against the woody base notes of Virginia cedar and sandalwood. Warm vanilla and tonka bean provide a rich, comforting finish.
Apply this parfum close to your skin for a more intimate experience. The spicy top notes are bright but fleeting, so it’s best to layer them over the rich base that takes time to bloom fully. Ideal for cooler evenings when you want something both warm and comforting.
