Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2007, created by Marie Salamagne. Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic opens with Clementine, Bitter Orange, Orange Blossom, and Ivy, settles into a heart of Mandarin, Peony, Basil, and Chamomile, and dries down to a base of Amber and Sandalwood. Guerlain's Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

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.

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.
