Guerlain's Acqua Allegoria Collection

Ever since they first appeared in 1999, Guerlain's Aqua Allegoria perfumes have been lauded for their boldness, inventiveness, and luminous grace. Guerlain Aqua Allegoria's were origianlly created as a subtle, body fragrance and broke away from the traditional heady, essential oil based fragrances that Guerlain are famous for producing.

Guerlain Aqua Allegoria fragrance collection is an überfresh collection that enchants the wearer and room, with a subtle tonic aroma. Each season Guerlain launch a new chapter, moving forward with the fashion of the year to form a complete fashion focused fresh fragrance collection.

The unique aspect of each scent is its construction with each having a very prominent and unexpected raw material heart note (such as a flower, fruit or aromatic plant) with subtle essences built around this centre. This construction donates Guerlain Aqua Allegoria's their signature lightness, transparency and joyful aura, elevating Guerlain Aqua Allegoria fragrances to their own special status in the wide world of high-class perfumery. Recently Glamour Magazine voted it one of their top 10 summer scents.
