Pera Granita, the summer fragrance from Guerlain. The Guerlain family has always been fascinated by travel. As such, it has developed an assortment of several fragrances taking us to various regions of the globe. And within this great collection has just been born the brand new Aqua Allegoria Pera Granita.
With the lovely Aqua Allegoria collection, Jean-Paul Guerlain once again offered his venerable perfume house a collection and a fresh compositional idea. Like a stroll through a garden where scents become raw materials of great quality, the bottles offered in the Aqua Allegoria line come in rare simplicity but extreme quality. Thierry Wasser, fond of this initiative, did not hesitate to extend the collection by offering, notably in 2016, a lovely Aqua Allegoria Pera Granita.
Aqua Allegoria Pera Granita, or Thierry Wasser's Calabrian gardens
For Jean-Paul Guerlain, creating fragrances is more than simply composing beautiful olfactory raw materials. Above all, he likes to boldly yet elegantly pair the olfactory raw materials typical of his family house Guerlain with brilliant novelties, as he was able to do with Habit Rouge, Samsara, and Vétiver. The Aqua Allegoria collection, launched in 1999, would likewise sit between past and future, between fresh, light accords more in the Cologne style paired with original, unprecedented scents such as Herba Fresca and its fresh herb accords, or Pamplelune, with grapefruit as master of ceremonies.
After Jean-Paul Guerlain's departure, Thierry Wasser continued to offer this Aqua Allegoria collection compositions just as original and high-quality, so interested was he by the creative work and olfactory choices that this collection called for.
Each evokes freshness but in a different way. They all have a strong personality, and it is true that Herba Fresca and Pamplelune, created in 1999, remain best-sellers with loyal customers. Thierry Wasser on the Aqua Allegoria fragrances, for Luxe Infinity.
Thus Aqua Allegoria Pera Granita will take us, in 2016, into Thierry Wasser's fresh citrus garden, better to let us dream of sun and shade, of fresh fruit and juicy citrus.
A bergamot-pear sorbet from Guerlain for an Aqua Allegoria Pera Granita summer
With Aqua Allegoria Pera Granita, Thierry Wasser wished not only to open for us the doors of a citrus garden but also to take us into the gourmand freshness of a granita, the quintessential summer drink of Mediterranean countries.
Inspired by this refreshing sorbet of Sicilian origin, made from crushed ice, sugar and lemon, Pera Granita is composed of notes of pink grapefruit, lemon, bergamot, pear, osmanthus, orange blossom, moss, white musks and cedar. Au Parfum on Aqua Allegoria Pera Granita.
Thus, from the moment we enter its precious “bees” bottle, Aqua Allegoria Pera Granita offers us a tangy opening of Calabrian bergamot, lemon and grapefruit. At the heart, juicy pear blends with the fruity facets of the lovely Asian osmanthus flower, the better to let itself sink into green notes and the aquatic notes of hedione. Finally, cedar, evernyl and white musks form a soft, comfortable sillage for this refreshing summer stroll, like a garden between shadow and light.
