Aqua Allegoria Coconut Fizz Guerlain 2019

"Coconut Fizz" is my second fragrance for the vacation this year. Blindly and quickly packed, as the flight was waiting. And how does it hold up after a few days of summer, south, sun, beach, and sensuality?

Good to very good. It is a very watery, delicate hint of coconut milk paired with a fruity-sweet vibe that you also know from "Teazzura." Never intrusive, which is a real art when it comes to coconut. There are almost a few rosy impressions, which could well be melon + freesias. It is not particularly sparkling; rather, it is delicate, intimate, and airy. Sometimes too delicate, when you can hardly notice it or it has already faded away. But when you focus on it, it can be delightful. A lovely couple's fragrance. Caribbean and chill, sexy and natural. "Virgin Island Water" in a feminine version meets "Still Life In Rio." No comparison to celebrity fragrances from Taylor Swift to Rihanna, which often tread similar waters. I never sense synthetic notes or intrusiveness here. Everything remains relaxed, natural, and like a gentle kiss from the Raffaello commercial. Like a virgin cocktail, like a turquoise beach dress, a natural beauty only with thick pink lipstick, a pavilion in the water of a lagoon, an electric jet ski. Warm and delightful. Green, grassy, ripe, and sometimes even "fig-like."

Bottle: cute and pretty and as always
Sillage: a hint and one of the more watery, transparent olfactory coconuts
Longevity: weakens and becomes skin-close after 3-5 hours, if at all

Conclusion: Coconut, water, softness. "Coconut Fizz" is neither a true hit for Guerlain nor the downfall that some have talked about. I actually like it quite a bit, even though it seems a bit too feminine on me. But it is also listed among women's fragrances. And on my girlfriend, it is even a bit more beautiful.
