Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic

by Marie Salamagne

Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2007, created by Marie Salamagne. The fragrance opens with Tea, Orange Blossom, Ivy, and Bitter Orange, settles into a heart of Basil, Peony, Chamomile, and Mandarin, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Amber.

Our verdict on Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic: Favourite

This is summer in a bottle, if summer meant peeling mandarins in a herb garden. It's a proper mood lifter, but be prepared for it to fade faster than your holiday tan. A love-it-or-hate-it basil note makes it divisive, so try before you buy.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its fresh, light and clean profile makes it perfect for casual wear or sport. While it's inoffensive enough for the office, its fleeting nature might require reapplication, and it's generally too bright for formal events.

About

Imagine sun-ripened mandarins, sharp clementine, and bitter orange rind, freshly peeled, oils bursting into the air. This zesty citrus blast is quickly joined by a peppery, green basil, underpinned by a delicate floral touch of peony and chamomile. The dry down is a subtle, clean whisper of sandalwood and amber, leaving a lingering, warm freshness.
