As is often the case, there are also some new Aqua Allegoria fragrances from Guerlain this year. One of them is this passion fruit scent, which I once again had a hard time spraying on myself. However, the store was quite empty last time despite it being the weekend (Saturday), so there was only one saleswoman hanging around in the Guerlain section.
… and wow! She was gorgeous! So gorgeous that my brain kept bombarding me with phrases like:
“She is pretty and sweet! Wow, she is pretty and sweet”
“She is pretty and sweet! Wow, she is pretty and sweet”
“She is pretty and sweet! Wow, she is pretty and sweet”
“She is pretty and…” … well, you get the idea… *sigh*
So I tried not to listen to myself and not to say something like “I’m looking for a fragrance for my girlfriend!” while looking at women’s perfumes, so she wouldn’t think: “Hmm, he already has a girlfriend!”,… waaaah! No! Instead, I probably couldn’t say anything at all while babbling about fragrances and blah blah… I don’t even remember what I might have said before I left (though I did let her spray the scent on my arm! He he he),… hopefully, I didn’t say anything completely stupid,… argh! :D
Since my brain was constantly saying “She is pretty and sweet! Wow, she is pretty and sweet” (instead of humming the Tetris melody like usual...) and I couldn’t think straight anymore, I hope I didn’t say something dumb like “Ah, a passion fruit is really pretty!” or something like that while sniffing the lovely scent of the passion fruit and simultaneously looking into the pretty face of the saleswoman, damn damn damn!!!
Well, anyway, it was good that I had her spray this scent on me for testing, as I probably would have dropped the bottle in my nervousness...!
Also, I can now introduce you to this scent, which, while not particularly extraordinary, has still become a very pleasant fragrance.
The Scent:
Hmm,… right from the start, you immediately smell a beautifully fruity passion fruit, which has a lovely, sweet aura. The top note actually only smells of passion fruit, and gradually a zesty grapefruit comes in, which pairs very well with the sweet-scented passion fruit and enhances the impression of a cheerful summer fragrance.
The aquatic notes are somehow less intense but still noticeable. The ylang-ylang (which seems to be present in every new fragrance or flanker lately…) is faint here, which I appreciate, as otherwise, it would have had too sultry an aura, which would have detracted from the freshness of the scent (at least in my opinion). In any case, I think ylang-ylang doesn’t fit at all with fragrances meant for spring and summer!
Otherwise, the scent remains fresh, lightly floral, fruity-sweet, and simply beautiful!
The Sillage and Longevity:
The sillage is moderate, but that’s what you expect from most Aqua Allegorias or summer fragrances in general. Therefore, it will hardly be noticeable unless you are close by. The longevity is also low, and you can only smell it for about three to four hours before it becomes weaker.
The Bottle:
The bottle comes in the well-known “bee bottles,” but this one doesn’t have any bees embedded in the glass. Nevertheless, the bottle looks very nice with its cylindrical shape and domed top, as the dome is adorned with golden honeycombs, and the light pink fragrance liquid adds to the visual pleasure. The cap is gold-plated and round. The label is square and white, and while the brand name is in gold lettering, the name of the fragrance, Passiflora, is written in violet. A beautiful bottle!
“She is pretty and sweet! Wow, she is pretty and sweet”
… Shut up, brain! What else did I want to say? Oh right, yes:
Aaah, the scent is pretty!... beautiful! I mean BEAUTIFUL!!! *sigh*
The scent is perfectly created for summer, as it is airy and light, sweet and beautiful, just a feel-good fragrance that you can spray on again and again and should do so, as it doesn’t last very long.
It can be used very well during the day, maybe also when going out, although, as mentioned above, you might need to reapply it once or twice. Be that as it may, despite the lovely scent, one should know that the fragrance itself is quite simply constructed. It’s nothing breathtakingly new, nothing really exciting, not something that hasn’t already been done hundreds of times by other brands,… BUT: This fragrance is, as often, of the usual good Guerlain quality, meaning that aside from the lovely scent, it has no annoying synthetic notes, comes in a nice bottle, and is one of those fragrances that makes you start smiling as soon as you sniff it because it’s so pleasant! As I said, a feel-good fragrance indeed!
Therefore, I would recommend everyone here to test this fragrance; it could definitely be worth it! Especially in this lovely weather!
And I’m sure this scent would suit you ladies perfectly, oh… you know, so delicious, fresh, yummy enough to bite into!!! Aaargh, maybe I should have told the saleswoman that she would definitely smell great with it (and then she would probably have rolled her eyes, as she surely hears that a hundred times a day from various guys… aaargh…).
But noooo, this stupid guy here has to be shy again, so that no word came out of him (except for probably stupid babble)… um… I need to sigh again: *seeeeeeeeeuffzzfzfzffz* Hrm, aaargh… um, could it be that I’m shouting too much today? :DD
Anyway, go test it! And let a smile appear on your faces, because right now, in this lovely weather, such a scent can be used absolutely perfectly :)
