Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Mentafollia is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2004, created by Jean-Paul Guerlain. Aqua Allegoria Mentafollia opens with Grapefruit and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Tea, and dries down to a base of Woody and Cedar. Guerlain's Aqua Allegoria Mentafollia carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Whilst Guerlain denies it, this is a mint fragrance - and a mighty divisive one at that. It's either an invigorating blast of cool relief on a hot day or a harsh, assaulting concoction. Love it or hate it, Mentafollia demands attention and leaves no one indifferent. It's a shame it's been discontinued.

About

Mentafollia opens with a zesty, almost effervescent burst of grapefruit and mandarin, quickly followed by a dominant, cooling mint tea accord, despite mint not being listed in the official notes. This fresh heart then blends with subtle jasmine and a delicate rose, adding a touch of floral elegance. The dry down is a clean, slightly camphorous woody cedar, providing a grounding base to the vibrant green and citrus blend, leaving a lingering impression of an iced herbal drink.
