Like diving into a cool water pool
Like a refreshing dive into cool water during a summer day. Guerlain followed their brief very well for this one and I have a feeling it'll be a hit when summer comes along.
A light Aqua Allegoria, it is a skin scent, so don't expect any scent bubble or beast mode fragrance here. It's perfect for the late spring days and the heart of summer due to its refreshing nature and notes. I wish the first few minutes had stayed longer. Every notes were perfectly balanced beautifully. I got the refreshing cool mint like the one found in Aqua Allegoria Herba Fresca. There was a beautiful, slightly synthetic, fruity pear note and a green, watery cucumber note. Rose was fresh and bright, but also toned down to fit the vibe of the fragrance. Somewhere after about 15 minutes, I started getting a discordant note I can't quite describe. I have a feeling it comes from the pear and roses: it turned a bit plasticky. The drydown becomes musky and warm with a hint of floral green accord that lingers.
Since I'm not a fan of roses and not a fan of wearing pear notes on myself, I don't think I'll be going for a full bottle (unfortunately). I do have to say I really enjoyed the first few minutes when the notes were all masterfully well blended. It has a fresh, green and aquatic quality to it that I very much enjoyed, but the pear and roses might have turned a bit artificial and sour on my skin. Nonetheless, it's a very beautiful Aqua Allegoria fragrance that I'm sure the crowd will enjoy during summer!
