Neroli, the main ingredient of Aqua Allegoria Nerolia Vetiver by Guerlain
As the name of this fragrance indicates, it is built around a typically Mediterranean flower: neroli. More specifically, it is a raw material derived from the bitter orange tree, a tree known for its bitter oranges. Neroli gives this fragrance a citrus and sparkling scent, close to that of clementine, though tangier and greener. A true marvel, the Calabrian neroli contained in Aqua Allegoria Nerolia Vetiver by Guerlain gives it a very sun-kissed breath. It appears from the opening and releases tonic, effervescent inflections.
The other ingredients contained in Aqua Allegoria Nerolia Vetiver by Guerlain
Of course, neroli is far from the only raw material used in the fragrance Aqua Allegoria Nerolia Vetiver by Guerlain. As the name of this fragrance indicates, it is also enriched with vetiver. While neroli alone evokes all the beauty of southern landscapes, vetiver breathes more depth into this raw material. It releases here woody and slightly smoky accents, contributing to enhancing the natural whiteness of the neroli and making it more incandescent. To this is also added basil. This raw material refreshes the formula, while preserving its green, Mediterranean breath. Finally, in a more gourmand spirit, Aqua Allegoria Nerolia Vetiver by Guerlain is further enhanced with a fig accord.
