Aqua Allegoria Florabloom Forte
Eleven materials makes Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Florabloom Forte Eau de Parfum Refill 200ml by far the fullest thing in this part of the range, and the Forte concentration is what carries them.
The opening is soft fruit. Mango gives a thick, sunny sweetness, mandarin orange a brighter juiciness and almond a cool, slightly bitter edge that keeps the fruit from going tropical. The heart is a proper bouquet: tuberose heavy, creamy and white, rose rounder and fuller beneath it, violet adding a powdery, faintly sweet dustiness and iris running cool and root like through the middle of all of it. The base then does something unexpected for a floral. Coconut arrives, dry and milky rather than suntan sweet, sandalwood smooths it, musk warms it against the skin, and oakmoss finishes the whole thing with a damp, bitter greenness that stops the sweetness anywhere near dessert.
As an eau de parfum in the Forte style it has noticeably more oil than the eau de toilette versions this line is built on, which means hours of wear rather than one good afternoon, and it holds close through the second half. The refill is the practical format. A 200ml bottle at this concentration works out well below the equivalent in standard sizes, generates less waste and keeps a travel spray filled for a long time. It suits spring and summer, daytime more than evening, and a wearer who likes florals with something dry underneath them. Thierry Wasser composed it.
Guerlain is a Parisian house, founded in 1828 and owned by LVMH. The founder's Eau de Cologne Imperiale of 1853 brought him the appointment of official perfumer to the imperial court, and the house has been building on that reputation ever since.
