Aqua Allegoria Ginger Piccante Guerlain 2019

In food or with sushi, I usually skip ginger; I can’t do much with that stuff. Even in fragrances, ginger is often unremarkable to me, if not unnecessary. But Guerlain's new Acqua Allegoria is anything but that. “Ginger Piccante” is India interpreted through Paris. One of the most beloved, calming, and serene scents I have ever had under my nose. More Ginger Galante than Piccante. It could also be a room fragrance. A pond of tranquility and inner balance.

“Ginger Piccante” impresses across the board. Ginger often has a tendency to be annoying, but here everything is relaxed, fluffy, soft, and perfectly balanced. A bit more feminine, as it is quite rosy and floral. A strong woman, a protector, a good soul, and a fresh spirit. The AA line does not offer a truly bad scent. But this ginger detour plays above the already strong average. Slightly sweetened, but with class. No cocktail vibe, no teenage crush. A fully grown explorer. Diana Jones. Surely a hit this summer in the airports of our world. Tea, massage oil, sexy time. She does it with style. Never too much, never too little. A fragrant Justitia. With an extraordinary balance and an extremely high quality that far exceeds the commendably low prices of this line.

Bottle: buzz, buzz, like a little bee I hum around.
Sillage: delicate and almost meditative. Wearer scent all the way.
Longevity: here the bees are never outstanding. The spicy ginger, however, lasts. 6 hours.

Conclusion: always looks good from the sushi conveyor to the massage table. An Acqua Allegoria that stands out. A truly pleasant contemporary, a world traveler, a powerhouse. A tip for any couple flying to Thailand soon. Whether honeymoon or first vacation together, whether adventure or city trip, whether culture or romance. It always works. And is actually for both. Money saved, vacation saved, forever immersed in ginger.
