Aqua Allegoria Nettare Di Sole, a new release with a springtime scent from Guerlain. Guerlain's Aqua Allegoria fragrances are always highly anticipated. Created every spring, they represent an olfactory tradition that announces the arrival of the warmer season. These refreshing eaux de toilette release a sophisticated sillage, while drawing inspiration from a specific part of the globe.
Every year, with the arrival of spring, the house of Guerlain delivers a new composition from the Aqua Allegoria collection. The year 2020 did not escape this tradition, and the newcomer is presented as a refreshing honey nectar, crafted under a brilliant sun, in an immense field of flowers. Named Aqua Allegoria Nettare Di Sole, this fragrance is presented in a sun-kissed and modern reinterpretation of Guerlain's Flacon aux Abeilles. So, what about its formula? A breakdown of its raw materials and its composition.
Aqua Allegoria Nettare Di Sole, a fragrance advocating for biodiversity
First of all, by choosing the bee and honey as a source of inspiration, note that Guerlain is advocating for biodiversity. Indeed, hive products are particularly used by the house. Until now, honey has already been very present in Guerlain's cosmetics. As a reminder, Guerlain is committed alongside the Conservatoire de l'abeille noire bretonne on the island of Ouessant. The goal is to preserve bees, insects that are essential to the preservation of our environment. According to perfumers Thierry Wasser and Delphine Jelk, in charge of creating Aqua Allegoria Nettare Di Sole, this fragrance was created in order to draw from nature, with respect, its most beautiful qualities […] and to explore a honeyed bouquet composed of the greatest flowers in perfumery.
Aqua Allegoria Nettare Di Sole, an iced flower honey
Aqua Allegoria Nettare Di Sole evokes a sunlit floral garden, foraged by bees. To achieve this, it contains a gourmand, rounded honey, paired with a generous bouquet of flowers. It notably brings together the flowers most used in women's fragrances, such as rose, magnolia and jasmine. Opulent and romantic, these are refreshed with aquatic notes, in order to preserve a more airy quality. As a result, this fragrance never becomes heady. It retains an altogether springlike lightness. Calabrian bergamot further reinforces its zesty yet luminous character.
The option to personalize the Guerlain fragrance
With Aqua Allegoria Nettare Di Sole, the possibilities are endless. Guerlain offers the option to personalize it, by pairing it with a few other compositions from the Aqua Allegoria family. For a more zesty result, pair it with Bergamotte Calabria. For more exoticism, pair it with Coconut Fizz. Orange Soleia, for its part, is sun-drenched, as is Mandarine Basilic. Finally, if one wishes to spice it up, one might dare to pair it with Ginger Piccante, a fragrance presented as the fantasy of a ginger flower from Asia. To create one's own olfactory composition, one need only choose another fragrance, in addition to Aqua Allegoria Nettare Di Sole, and apply the two selected fragrances successively, in equal amounts.
