Aqua Allegoria Bergamote Calabria
by Guerlain
A crisp, buoyant citrus fragrance centered on bright Calabrian bergamot, delivering an effervescent opening that evokes freshly cut lemon zest and ripe bergamot skin. It unfolds with a subtle warmth from ginger and cardamom, gently smoothing the acidity into a soft, spicy-woody drydown balanced by clean white musk. The scent lingers close to the skin, softening into a faintly sweet, musky trail that feels wearable and refined, suitable for warm days and open spaces. The fragrance is unisex with a light masculine lean, making it ideal for spring and summer. Though it does not project strongly or last beyond a few hours, its quality and simplicity make it a refreshing, occasional choice — especially for those who enjoy clean, bright, and subtly spicy citrus perfumes without heavy sillage or long-wearing power.
