Guerlain presents its latest fragrance Aqua Allegoria Passiflora. Since 1999, the house of Guerlain has developed a range of fresh, spring-like fragrances, grouped under the Aqua Allegoria name. All the fragrances in this collection pay tribute to traditional perfumery.
As a farewell gift to all the beautiful compositions he had created for his family's perfume house Guerlain, Jean-Paul Guerlain opened a new fragrant chapter with the Aqua Allegoria collection. Some 23 fragrances later, Thierry Wasser continues to carry on the fragrant song of these spring-like scents with two 2018 new releases: Aqua Allegoria Rosa Rossa and Aqua Allegoria Passiflora. For Aqua Allegoria Passiflora, the perfumer takes us on an exotic journey we will not soon forget…
Aqua Allegoria Passiflora, or Thierry Wasser's exotic journeys
The Aqua Allegoria collection was created by Jean-Paul Guerlain shortly before he stepped down as the house of Guerlain's official perfumer. With the Aqua Allegoria bottles, he wanted to celebrate nature by dedicating to it bottles composed of only 2 or 3 olfactory raw materials drawn from the four corners of the world.
After Jean-Paul Guerlain's departure, it was Thierry Wasser, who became Guerlain's official nose, who continued the work of his spiritual father by offering the collection new bottles every year while preserving the fresh and natural spirit given to them from their inception.
A true ode to nature, unlike other fragrances, Aqua Allegoria and its 5 variations are not inspired by a woman. Their credo is freshness and their clear, precise evocation of nature. Thierry Wasser for Luxe Infinity.
Thierry Wasser therefore set out to personally gather all the most beautiful natural scents that nature has to offer, and this beautiful Aqua Allegoria Passiflora is no exception…
When passion fruit is offered as a fragrance, Aqua Allegoria Passiflora is born
For this ode to exotic landscapes that is Aqua Allegoria Passiflora, Thierry Wasser sought to carry us into lush, exotic landscapes where passion fruit mingles with ylang-ylang. However, Guerlain's master perfumer managed to preserve the beauty and freshness of the citrus accords, giving this sun-drenched escape a note that remains airy and delicate.
Moreover, beyond the sun-kissed flowers and fruits, Aqua Allegoria Passiflora offers a still unprecedented touch for the house of Guerlain: an aquatic note. Blended with the tangy heart note, the aquatic accent adds a further touch of escapism to this lovely Aqua Allegoria Passiflora, taking us from warm, sun-drenched land to the blue sea of lagoons.
Thus Aqua Allegoria opens on powerful tangy notes while nestling into gourmand and remarkably exotic passion fruit. Then the aquatic note plunges us into a refreshing heart of mandarin and grapefruit. Finally, the lovely orange blossom paired with the opulent, sun-kissed ylang-ylang brings us back down to earth, all the better to dream of the exotic lands that this magnificent Aqua Allegoria Passiflora offers.
Invigorating and sun-kissed, Passiflora blends the flavor of a sun-drenched passion fruit with the sweetness of ylang-ylang flowers, in an aquatic freshness evoking the crystal-clear waters of a lagoon. Guerlain for Aqua Allegoria Passiflora.
