Aqua Allegoria Harvest Nerolia Vetiver Guerlain 2023

My favorite from the this range of Alegoria Nerolia line.
Beautifully balanced neroli with honey. For the first few minutes maybe it’s too much dense with the honey sweetness but once it’s settles in after 10min it’s perfect. Totally unisex imo, perfect for spring days, effortless and “natural” smelling.

I really cannot recall how this fragrance fell on my radar, but I’m so ecstatic that it did. Guerlain is a house that I am slowly warming up to (and you must be thinking, “is she absolutely mental? Guerlain is one of the best fragrance houses on the market!”). Go easy on me please. I’ve tried a good amount of them, and do you ever get the feeling that some scents just aren’t made for you? That’s been most of my experiences. However, this limited edition gem checks lots of boxes for me.

The star player of this green queen is that orange blossom honey. Honey is an incredibly versatile note in fragrances for many reasons. It can be sweet, it can be dirty/animalic, it can be ambery, etc. But rarely have I seen a floral-focused honey or a honey that wasn’t paired with herbals, grains, etc. In Haverst NV, the honey is both sweet and green. Along with the bitter neroli, makes the scent feel very natural and solar. The vetiver calmly creeps in as the scent dries down, and provides some earthiness. It’s such a simplistic composition with lots of body and grace, reminiscent of a semi-sweet white wine. I can’t imagine a better time to wear this than in the hot, sweltering heat.

I was able to find a bottle of this on eBay, as it’s no longer in production. It took me about two tries to understand the beauty that this fragrance is. For an EDT, it performs fairly well - but I’ll admit, I do spray a bit heavier for these types of fragrances. I can’t believe that I accidentally found one of the most beautifully crafted honey scents ever, and one that sings of summer.

It's a limited edition, so it's no longer on sale, but it's definitely a masterpiece of the Aqua Allegoria series.
This is the perfume I bought when I went to Guerlain for the first time and was so impressed.
I'm actually going to use it now and review it. So that you can understand it.
It has a sour taste at first. It gradually becomes a green scent while emitting a sparkle like champagne. It's probably close to bergamot. Since it's a single note, there is no dynamic change in the scent. It smells of sweet floral nectar. It's like sticking your nose into the petals of a white flower. It also has a slightly muscat-like flavor. This is probably the result of neroli and fig combined. This honey in the middle is completely different from the regular version and Forte. Also, if you smell it on paper, it doesn't come out well.This is a neroli petal that gives off sweet nectar when you bite into it.
When I put this on my skin, I felt like I was communicating with the creator. To express neroli, vetiver gives it a greenness (although it has almost no scent), and honey reproduces the nectar of the flower, and it feels like this one bottle is trying to express everything about the neroli flower. The concept is similar to the Body Shop's full series and Diptyque. It is also recommended for people who like Aesop, but since it is Guerlain, it is more abstract than realistic.
Guerlain adds a drop of romance to express neroli, creating a beautiful illusion. Guerlain has reinterpreted neroli, which does not actually exist.
This fragrance is a single note, so it fades out while remaining in the middle. The honey and neroli disappear beautifully like a mirage.
It is recommended for all seasons, but spring and summer are the best. If you want to use it in autumn and winter, we recommend Forte, where the sweetness of fig stands out more.

I have already written a statement about this beautiful fragrance, but I believe it definitely deserves a review.

Last week, I went to the shopping center in search of a fresh, limey summer scent, even though I don't really like fresh fragrances. However, a few weeks ago, I smelled such a wonderful scent in a beach bar on a young man that it caught my attention.

I sprayed all three Nerolia Vetiver in the perfumery and wasn't particularly impressed, as I found them somewhat bitter and rather herbal. While strolling around, I kept noticing one of the three as a very pleasant hint; it was HARVEST Nerolia Vetiver. While trying on various patterned, floor-length, very feminine dresses, the fragrance enhanced the feeling of seductive allure, and I devoted more and more attention to it.

The somewhat strict and herbal duo of Nerolia and Vetiver is underlaid by a gentle, soft wave of slightly sweet honey, which, in my opinion, creates a perfect scent. Soft, fresh, spicy, and only slightly sweet; elegant and making a statement, that’s how the fragrance comes across to me. It is an adult scent that suits me at 45 years old and my generation. It feels expensive, crafted with high artistry; I envision a businesswoman or businessman who doesn’t need to polish themselves with ostentatious fragrances. Thus, it also falls outside the category of the scent I was looking for, but I found something far better.

Reserved, elegant, refined, and self-assured. Calm within itself, smooth, and yet very present.

The fragrance has noticeable sillage and lasts a long time; when I go to bed, this note accompanies me into sleep.

In Upper Austria, it seems to be sold out in the perfumeries; everywhere I found only the tester available.

Searching online, I then found that there is only the 125 ml bottle left, which costs between 125,- and 150,-, significantly higher than the other two Nerolia Vetiver, which are available for 80,-.

I can recommend a test to anyone who wants to appear confident and secure while also radiating a bit of attraction.
