Guerlain

Aqua Allegoria Pamplelune

“Photorealistic grapefruit-bergamot bitter uplifting joyful summer feminine.”

Aqua Allegoria Pamplelune
citrus
aromatic
fresh spicy

A grapefruit-led citrus from Guerlain's Aqua Allegoria line, composed in 1999 by Mathilde Laurent and Jean-Paul Guerlain. Grapefruit opens over a cassia-spiced heart, with patchouli and vanilla giving the citrus more body than a typical cologne. Citrus leads the accords by a wide margin, with aromatic and green facets. A summer daytime scent.
