Sticky sweet

House Guerlain is known for several enduring perfume classics and masterpieces, and it's no wonder perfume lovers often scoff at the Aqua Allegoria line. More often than not, the AA releases have not managed to live up to the house legacy of utter sophistication, consisting instead of several "nice" edts.

Flora Nymphea is, for me, one of those "nice" scents that would make a worthy addition to any other perfume house's range, but for Guerlain, it falls short. It is a good sweet floral scent for anybody who is craving summer in a bottle -- this isn't the crisp dewiness of late spring/early summer, this is high summer at its peak when all the flowerbeds are filled with bugs and flowers begin to wither. The dominant feature of Flora Nymphea is straight-up honeyed linden blossom (not on the note list, but definitely what I smell). Whatever "green notes" or "citric notes" there are are overpowered by the sweet floral bouquet. The drydown comes pretty quickly with musky woods that lend the fragrance a soapy character towards the end -- not a bad thing, though!

However nice it is, it isn't really in my taste, but lovers of sweet florals and honey take note. This is discontinued, but pretty well available through online discounters, often for very cheap.

Glowing Hairspray. Not a criticism.

I tried Flora Nymphea on a whim and it surprised me. I don’t think of the Aqua Allegorias as very complex in intent or execution. They’re the Post-It notes of French perfumery. So Nymphea took me by surprise. It’s linear, yes, but it’s complex enough to be conversational, long lasting and isn’t a one-liner. Every time I catch a whiff of it, it takes me to the very top notes of Guerlain’s Insolence edt. I know the hairspray feeling of Insolence’s start is derided, but I quite like it. I find it striking and appealing. Nymphea is a long-lasting play on that hairspray note.

Guerlain's press describes this as a honeyed orange blossom and syringa. The only syringa I know is lilac, one of the spring scents I waited for all winter as a child. The combination of lilac and orange blossom makes for an interesting premise. A floral perfume is certainly nothing new, but taking these two flowers, who grow nowhere near each other, and juxtaposing them makes for an wonderful perfume. It's a great success for the Aqua Allegoria line. It demonstrates the difference between the simplistic, which others in the line can be fairly accused of, and simplicity. It’s poised and it’s full, and demonstrates that linearity can be an attribute and not an insult.

Notes: Orange Blossom, Syringa, Honey

This little bottle of pink juice was my introduction to the often maligned AA line from Guerlain, so I had very low expectations of it. I almost wanted to not like it. Fortunately, I was completely wrong.
Aqua Allegoria Flora Nymphea is a delightful spring floral that is basically liquid happiness. Bright and flowery without being too intense. Just a wonderful, subtle, while at the same time childlike, innocent and beautiful scent. Honey and orange blossom fans should sample it for sure.

Why are these Aqua Allegoria's limited...

I had this and LOVED it! It was so fairy-like and unusual. It behaved very well on my skin in terms of longevity and sillage.
It felt so like spring- and summertime.
Flowery dresses, lemonades on a picknick-party, butterflies, blooming blossoms...all in this bottle...Loved it!
I always hesitate to buy anything out of this line because they always disappear once you've grown to know and love them, such a shame!

Guerlain has set a standard that is hard to match....

...a floral scent with such an unusual character. I almost overlooked the green and citrus notes in the top notes, and I hardly pick up anything from the berries, but of course, I smell the flowers, very soft, delicate flowers, while at the same time, a surprising, delicate creaminess wafts towards me. I imagine that it must smell like this in the land where milk and honey flow.
I want to wrap myself in this scent like in bright, flowing silk.

After a while, the orange blossom clearly dominates along with a hint of honey. Just a little, not sticky sweet, but just to round it off, as if you were adding a touch of sugar to a vinaigrette, but with much more aroma.

Seamlessly and harmoniously, bright woody notes form the conclusion of this beautiful summer fragrance. And by summer fragrance, I don’t mean a scent that fights against the heat with freshness and coolness, but rather a scent that radiates the lightness, joy, and warmth of summer.

Who knew?! I can now buy Downy brand dryer sheets in liquid form for an exorbitant price! If I were to ever pine for that sort of thing.

freshly mown grass. Plant sap drips on lilac + orange blossom. It seems a bit old-fashioned at first, but it's deceptive. Very pure green nature with moderate honey. clean

Captivating floral scents blend with spicy-sweet and citrusy-sparkling notes, finishing with a powdery touch. Almost daring for an AA.

The delicate touch of a nymph connects earth, air, and water.
Bees sip nectar from lilac hearts.
Flower honey and musk scent the skin closely.

Forest, honey, wild oranges, moss, a small, babbling brook, and sunlight filtering through lilac leaves. A beautiful, soft, warm scent! Wearable even in autumn!
