The aromatic freshness of Aqua Allegoria Mandarin Basil
Guerlain called upon perfumer Marie Sallamagne to create the fresh scent of Mandarine Basilic. From the start, it does not hide its energizing and sparkling side. Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basil begins with a combination of clementine, tangerine and blood orange. Everything turns out to be pulpy, juicy and very invigorating. Likewise, freshness is omnipresent in this fragrance and the whole is accompanied by the Mediterranean luminosity of orange blossom as well as the airy aspect of white peony beaded with ivy leaves. It is then that the basil deploys its singular aromatic scent. This customary plant in our dishes and in our gardens is here green and almost spicy. It resonates with a single breath with green tea before giving way to the enveloping sweetness of chamomile, amber and sandalwood. In general, Aqua Allegoria Mandarin Basil is a sparkling and luminous juice that evokes the smell of a lunch on the grass by a river. Close your eyes and you could almost hear birdsong from here!
Every year since 1999, the Guerlain house has offered its perfumed waters in the beautiful collection of Aqua Allegoria. The aim of this collection of perfumes is to bring together rare raw materials from nature and from all over the world in fragrances. In 2007, the great perfumer Marie Salamagne composed for Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basil with radiant and sparkling scents from Asia.
