Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Forte Nerolia Vetiver is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Delphine Jelk. Aqua Allegoria Forte Nerolia Vetiver opens with Bergamot, Petitgrain, and Fig Leaf, settles into a heart of Neroli, Rose, and Fig, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, and Tonka Bean. Guerlain's Aqua Allegoria Forte Nerolia Vetiver carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This one is a divisive gem. You'll either adore its green, creamy neroli and fig blend, or you'll be running for the hills with a whopping headache. There's little middle ground here, so sample first, unless you're feeling adventurous.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its fresh and clean profile makes it highly versatile for casual and active wear, and it's generally office-friendly due to its moderate projection. However, the intensity of its opening and its unique green character might be a bit much for very formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine cutting into a fresh fig beneath a Mediterranean sun, its leafy bitterness mingling with juicy sweetness. It opens with that sharp, verdant bite of fig leaf, brightened by zesty bergamot, before softening into a lush heart of creamy neroli and plump fig, with just a whisper of rose. The dry down grounds it all with a smooth, earthy vetiver and cedar, sweetened delicately by tonka bean for a surprisingly lasting warmth.
