To draw from nature, with respect, its most beautiful qualities — this was the guiding principle of perfumers Thierry Wasser and Delphine Jelk when they created the fragrance Aqua Allegoria Flora Salvaggia. Composed as a vast floral expanse, and built like a bouquet of wildflowers, Aqua Allegoria Flora Salvaggia is an invitation to daydream and to poetry. Rich in cheerfulness and smiles, it is unmatched in evoking spring. So what does it consist of? What does its violet Bee Bottle conceal? A breakdown of the composition of Aqua Allegoria Flora Salvaggia by Guerlain.
Aquatic and floral top notes
With Aqua Allegoria Flora Salvaggia, everything takes flight in freshness and delicacy. Its top notes highlight a first wildflower: violet. Widely used in perfumery, it is usually very feminine and unfolds a fruity, powdery character in its sillage. Many also consider violet to be a retro flower. As such, with it, Aqua Allegoria Flora Salvaggia speaks to all generations alike. An excellent binder, violet brings a certain floral softness to Aqua Allegoria Flora Salvaggia. For added freshness, this raw material is joined by watermelon, with a more fruity and aquatic character.
The rounder, more opulent heart of Aqua Allegoria Flora Salvaggia
Then, Aqua Allegoria Flora Salvaggia becomes rounder and smoother at its heart. For this, it relies on one of the most widely used flowers in perfumery: jasmine. If this raw material is so favored by perfumers, it is simply because it possesses an impressive olfactory richness. At times floral, fruity, or animalic, jasmine can also become more powdery, crisp, and airy. Here, it is lit up by orange blossom, a plant with a more sensual and feminine aura. Finally, it is also at this point that numerous wildflowers appear. They are found absolutely everywhere, as charming as they are fascinating. So, how about gathering a generous bouquet of them?
Guerlain relies on very luxurious base notes
Finally, to bring an additional touch of nobility to the wildflowers, Aqua Allegoria Flora Salvaggia closes with one of the most luxurious raw materials in the entire perfumer's palette: iris. A true olfactory treasure, this powdery flower is paired with a cloud of white musks. In contrast to animalic musk, this ingredient develops notes of cleanliness and purity behind it. It leaves an unmistakable freshness on the skin.
Aqua Allegoria Flora Salvaggia, a fragrance to personalize
Finally, note that the fragrance Aqua Allegoria Flora Salvaggia by Guerlain can be used with other scents from the Aqua Allegoria range, such as Bergamotte Calabria, Rosa Rossa, Granada Salvia, or Flora Cherrysia. To do so, simply choose your scented duo and spray both fragrances successively on your skin. This will yield a scent that is slightly fresher, more citrusy, or more floral.
