Guerlain
Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic
2007
“Clementine, bitter orange, and orange blossom over green tea — Guerlain's summer Aqua Allegoria, brief refreshing.”

Mandarin and basil over a clean sandalwood base — Marie Salamagne's 2007 launch in Guerlain's Aqua Allegoria line, one of the longest-lived members of the summer-aquatic-citrus collection. Green tea through the top. A summer daytime fragrance.
