Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic perfume by Guerlain is the perfect scent to wear on a warm Sunday afternoon in the spring. Its rich citrus top notes, including clementine, orange blossom and bitter orange, bring to mind the rays of a rejuvenating sun. Ivy and green tea give it the earthy tone it deserves. Midnotes include peony and mandarin orange, which carry the floral rhythm forward. Chamomile and basil keep it grounded. Sandalwood and amber base notes pull it all together on a solid foundation.
Marie Salamagne designed the fragrance for Guerlain, the iconic French perfumery. Salamagne was born in France in 1977. Today she can work on more than 20 different fragrance designs at once. Guerlain has been in business for more than 175 and is legendary in its use of rare and exotic materials in its perfumes. This includes ylang-ylang, a tropical plant the company harvests from its own plantation in the Comoro islands.
