Coconut Fizz, one of the new 2019 Aqua Allegoria fragrances Jean-Paul Guerlain, Jacques Guerlain, and Aimé Guerlain, Pierre François Pascal Guerlain and now Thierry Wasser All these illustrious figures have greatly contributed to the development of present-day perfumery.
The house of Guerlain was born in the 19th century, and yet, from perfumer to perfumer, the house has never ceased to offer eminent discoveries such as vanillin with Jicky in 1889 or the oriental effluvia of Shalimar in 1920. The last member of the Guerlain family to hold the title of in-house perfumer, Jean-Paul Guerlain also added his contribution by creating a great number of fragrances for men as well as the sublime Aqua Allegoria collection.
In 2019, Aqua Allegoria therefore celebrates its 20th anniversary, and this lovely Aqua Allegoria Coconut Fizz will do so with an extraordinary tropical sweetness!
Aqua Allegoria Coconut Fizz, a tropical garden enters a Guerlain fragrance
For Thierry Wasser, who became the in-house nose of the house of Guerlain following Jean-Paul Guerlain's departure, being a Guerlain perfumer means knowing how to convey the immense olfactory heritage passed down by the house and its iconic bottles, while also knowing how to innovate by constantly proposing new accords. And it is particularly through the Aqua Allegoria collection that we can understand this mindset of the perfumer, for he has managed to preserve the collection's natural and understated thread while adding great touches of modernity to it, as seen in this unprecedented coconut water of Aqua Allegoria Coconut Fizz.
Aqua Allegoria came from the inspiration of their creator, they are perfumer's statements with a genuine point of view, that makes all the difference! They are a signature that refers back to Guerlain's heritage as a kind of savoir-faire or family spirit. Thierry Wasser on Aqua Allegoria.
Moreover, Thierry Wasser developed a passion for gathering the finest olfactory raw materials from around the world, both for the travels and encounters that his research allows him to undertake, and for the obvious inspiration this brings him in creating his fragrances. Thus each Aqua Allegoria would seem to be the fruit of a journey, and there is no doubt that Aqua Allegoria Coconut Fizz was born of a journey to a paradisiacal island…
Coconut water, Guerlain's new note of freshness for Coconut Fizz
Throughout the Aqua Allegoria collection, the goal was to magnify Sicilian bergamot with natural scents evoking at times the freshness of a summer moment, at times a faraway journey.
For Aqua Allegoria Coconut Fizz, the intention goes even further, as the use of coconut water, which recently became trendy, made it possible to discover a new way of creating a fresh effect in perfumery while giving this icy note an immediate sense of escape. Incidentally, this coconut water can also be found in Agua de Amor Amor in 2018 or Eau de soleil Blanc by Tom Ford, also in 2018.
However, Aqua Allegoria Coconut Fizz has the great originality of offering coconut freshness through much softer surges of watery fruits. The luminous and opulent freesia flower at the heart turns into island velvet. Finally, tonka bean and sandalwood anchor the base of Aqua Allegoria Coconut Fizz in a bath of sensuality as blazing as the sun of our vacations…
