Aqua Allegoria Granada Salvia Guerlain 2020

Somehow I don't do well with the average fruity-floral-pink women's fragrances: either white flowers and roses strangle me, or I feel uncomfortable with too much patchouli/ylang-ylang/musk, etc. This also happens with fragrances that are described as light and unobtrusive. Granada Salvia, however, has surprised me positively!

I wouldn't say that I really perceive the pomegranate - if, then rather a mixture of the tetrapack pomegranate juice and compote of sour red berries. This fruitiness is not artificial and is very nicely balanced by sage and wood. I definitely sense a little garden rose in the background - in my case, that's just the amount of rose I can handle well. Not too sweet, not sticky, not soapy. The result is a refreshing, slightly tart fruity-floral scent that I can only recommend - even to people who normally avoid this category of fragrance.
