for my only opinion

I think Aqua Allegoria Flora Nerolia by Guerlain is a charming and refreshing fragrance that's perfect for spring and summer. Its combination of green neroli, orange blossom, and jasmine creates a beautiful balance of fresh, floral, and slightly citrusy notes. The touch of incense in the base adds an intriguing depth to the scent.

One of the things I really appreciate about this fragrance is its versatility. It's elegant enough for formal occasions but also light and casual for everyday wear. The fresh and clean aroma makes it an excellent choice for warm weather, providing a sense of brightness and clarity.

Overall, Aqua Allegoria Flora Nerolia stands out in the Aqua Allegoria line for its unique blend of notes and its ability to evoke a sense of freshness and elegance.

Onslaught of Indole

Neroli, orange flower and jasmin. That sounds like a lovely combination of flowers, and it could be...
But this is no 'hello birds, hello sky, what a beautiful day' kind of scent.
The delicate neroli and petitgrain has barely time to settle in before it's brutally assaulted by an indolic orange flower, and - I would guess - jasmin sambac with their dominating crunchy undercurrents.

What could have been a gentle orange cologne becomes an onslaught of white flowers and indole, a rotting blast of tooth decay sharpened by tiny pricks of incense; these are flowers with attitude, and they bite!

Flora Nerolia is crude - yes; direct in its simplicity - undoubtedly; and it's daring - it doesn't give a damn about the rules.
It kicks over the floral traces by boosting what is often a polite modifier (that adds smoothness, or in larger quantities backbone to a pretty floral) until the it takes over and dominatinates like a thug. This indole overdose brutally mashes up the gender codes and demands we ignore them.
You can't wear something as challenging as this and remain a perfume innocent for long, you're obliged to abandon easy gender conventions and cross into unknown territory.

See it as a virago cologne, or an old fashioned dandified floral of the pre-gendered age, but you won't find this easy to wear; an ordinary cologne - it is not.

What's extraordinary though is that something as radical as this came from a conservative like Jean-Paul Guerlain.
It seems his sense of rigour went completely over the top this time, leading him to do something closer in spirit to that iconoclast Germain Cellier than the impressionism of his grandfather Jacques.

Hardly surprising then to see it's been culled since Jean-Paul left the helm, and that's a shame. Flora Nerolia would make a natural jumping off point from the spiky woods if it were still around, and if a young buck were to dare...

Naturally Natural

What a sting you get right after first spray!..
I like it, the way I like most floral orange-y scents: it may not be used very often, but I consider it a Musthave in my wardrobe.

A very close sister of Lutens Fleurs d'Oranger, but this is even more a 'one of a kind' type of perfume. It has a vibe of very old times, of simple white cotton dresses (when, if ever, will I start wearing those?) and of rural surroundings, even stables, which is GOOD in my book.

Do Not Wear While Carrying Controlled Substances on Your Person

For some reason, neroli oil and perfumes in which neroli figures heavily always remind me of marijuana. Not that I have been around much of that substance lately, but associative olfactory memory is apparently quite strong!

Guerlain's AA FLORA NEROLIA is no exception to the rule. However, I love the way this simple yet pleasing combination dries down to a calmer floral shortly after the initially surprising spritz. The neroli does, however, dominate throughout. Neroli and orange blossom are very, very different scents, though they derive from the same plant. Neroli is not sweet at all and it completely overwhelms the orange blossom in this composition.

FLORA NEROLIA is completely unisex, in my opinion. While it's not a fragrance that I would want to wear every day, now and then I appreciate this very natural-smelling dry brown grassy scent.

I would advise against wearing this fragrance on days when you are carrying controlled substances on your person...
