I did not know about the drink Caipirinha before I met Limon Verde by Guerlain. Apparently, Caipirinha is the national cocktail of Brazil. I have never tasted it, so I still do not know it, but I have read about how to make it: Cachaca (a Brazilian spirit made from sugar canes), sugar, lime and ice. To me it sounds like a Mojito without the mint leaves. I like Mojitos and it is the mint together with the lime that does it for me. So fresh and tasty. I guess I have to taste a Caipirinha sometime in the future.
Aqua Allegoria Limon Verde is a summer scent. Fresh and a bit bitter, sweetened by the Fig note. Unfortunately it lasts less than one hour on my skin. This is why it is no favourite of mine. I have some other great fresh/citric summer scents that perform way better: Ô de Lancome, a long time love for me, and Tristano Onofri’s Femme. Both last between 3 and 5 hours. Aqua Allegoria Pamplelune is also much better when it comes to performance. Check them out instead.
This does not make Limon Verde a bad scent, but with so many good Guerlains to choose form this will never be my first pick.
