The Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic women's eau de toilette is a fragrance that's hard to put into words. Just imagine how the seductive flesh of mandarin is highlighted by the expressive freshness of basil, forming an incomparable duo. At this moment, the powerful energy of green tea penetrates through the notes of wood, creating a unique aromatic spectrum. This is the essence of Mandarine Basilic. Thierry Wasser, the master perfumer at Guerlain, describes the combination of citrusy mandarin and fresh basil as a truly sparkling and unusual blend. This fragrance is deep and sensitive. It is durable and natural. More than 95% of its components are of organic origin.
To truly appreciate the finest Mandarine Basilic fragrance from the Aqua Allegoria collection, one must dissect its components. At the very beginning, there's the lush and delicate orange blossom, expressed through bitter oranges and clementines. However, as the citrus spark fades, the soft chords of green tea and ivy become perceptible. Subsequently, the heart notes gradually and somewhat timidly unfold - basil with hints of anise, sweet wild chamomile, sun-warmed ripe mandarin, and honeyed peonies. The final impression of the fragrance is formed by the base - durable sandalwood and warm sea amber.
Great scent, reminiscent of a refreshing lemonade. It's not very long-lasting due to its freshness (compared to other, sweeter fragrances in the same line), but it's one of the few citrusy scents that doesn't have that cheap sour finish often found in perfumes. Thank you!
I've ordered this product multiple times. The fragrance is luxurious and long-lasting. I really love it. Thank you, MAKEUP! Keep up the great work! Your team is amazing
This is probably the best New Year's fragrance. It opens with a bright burst of tangerines and then quickly transitions to basil. The scent is very fresh and truly festive.
