Beautiful scent, unfortunately below-average longevity.

For me, purely in terms of scent, it's one of the best I've ever smelled. If you like fruity sweet mandarin, you are exactly right here. Unfortunately, the longevity and sillage are really below average, and therefore the price-performance ratio is not really good in my eyes.

This fragrance is more suitable for someone who wears perfume just for themselves, as people around you will only be able to smell it with close body contact.

I still like it. Since it simply smells so good to me, it makes the other negative factors a bit more bearable.

Is the Forte version probably better in S/H?

That's just the way it is, unfortunately. These exceptional natural raw materials at Guerlain (like the Marzolo Mandarin from Calabria here) are up to 95% natural in this perfume and not completely synthetic - unlike other cheaper fragrances. And they do tend to evaporate faster. Still, it doesn't matter to me. The scent is SO beautiful that I'm happy to accept that. This perfume is for me --- like "aromatherapy." It brightens my mood on a gloomy day and just makes me happy :-)))))))) Thank you, Madame --- Delphine Jelk :-))))))))

Otherwise, I always carry a 2 ml glass vial of each fragrance with me and spray a bit of the scent in beforehand --- for on the go. I always dab a little more on (like right before a meeting/date) and I always smell great. (...I always have a 2 ml vial in my pocket, so I don't have to lug around the bottle, and it doesn't use as much fragrance as constantly spraying. It's really easy to dose precisely. I don't want to be without it anymore. I ordered 50 x 2 ml vials; they work perfectly + nothing leaks! You can find them here:

Yeah, what a shame, I fell in love right away, but not for over €100...

Yes, it's really nice. Unfortunately, the longevity is terrible with almost all Allegorias.
