Aqua Allegoria Foliflora Guerlain for women

I'm writing the review in December when the weather is cold and I guess Foliflora blooms the best in spring and early summer. Aqua Allegoria series isn't the greatest masterpiece of Guerlain, but I must admit they often have this special something making me want to know them and wear them from time to time (particularly in spring).

Foliflora has a powerful opening, flowery-citrusy one. Actually I was surprised there isn't lemon among the ingredients because the fragrance is lemony-flowery with a quite big dose of flowers (but not overdose!) The drydown is maybe the prettiest, amber gives it a chocolatey touch and this lemony feeling brings Covet to my mind a bit. The fragrance is green-white in my imagination with a brown touch in the base notes. Slightly sweet and slightly sour and nicely done. Thumbs up!

This is a stunning fresh floral. It's summer on the wind. As if a soft floral gust has just blown through an open window.

It's quite oddly not one that my nose can take apart well. It's beautifully blended and creates a scent that doesn't smell at all like it's notes. It all comes together to create an impression of the perfect field of summer flowers. Not tropical~but it'll transport you just the same.

The sillage and lasting power for this are impressive. This is very much it's own fragrance. An outstanding secret beauty. I don't know anyone who smells like this. Well....except for me of course! Shhhhhhh......

Guerlain Aqua Allegoria FOLIFLORA is every bit as herbal, thanks to angelica, as it is floral. In fact, I'd even go so far as to say that this is more of an herbal than a floral composition. The angelica note is by far the most salient to my nose, and the florality is very low-key, making this light, natural-smelling creation perfect for those who feel stifled and oppressed by big fat floral fragrances.

I'm not huge fan of angelica, although here it is used judiciously and does not completely overwhelm everything else and expand to the point of suffocation, which is a problem I unfortunately sometimes encounter with angelica perfumes. I recommend FOLIFLORA for those who appreciate herbal, slightly green, and lightly floral perfumes.

bought this without trying this, nice warm flowery scent, what I get is mainly sweet pea (not sure where it's coming from,maybe just an association because of the picture on the box)
reminds me of 'pleasures intense' by e.lauder.
the staying power is very good, have to be bit carefull with this one as can be overpowering

Extremely wonderful flowers, so nice, sophisticated and natural. Fell in love with this one from the first minutes. Very, very gentle and special. For the first hour the sillage is a killer and I enjoyed every bit of it, but then after 3 hours it's gone. I understand why do they produce this in such enormous bottles - so you can reapply every 3 hours. Therefore I will say "like" to this one. I dislike reapplying. I use my scent in the morning and I think it must stay for at least good 7 hours. This one does not. But if you do not mind reapplying - go on, and just test. Beautiful flowers.

Of course, it's an eau de toilette with no staying power, but it's a pure thrill to wear! The last dew of this scent stays with you for a few hours, lifting the spirits. This might be the best floral scent I've ever smelled, it smells like the lightest buds before summer, the tragically beautiful smell of spring, of all of the white flowers that don't traslate into a heady sexual kind of smell. This is brilliant delicacy-not sweet, not scratchy, not powdery, not sour, not drowned in herbs and musk ...Aqua Allegoria Foliflora has that flowery smell that I long for during the winter, the smell of fresh gardenia, freesia, and lilies that are still growing, still alive, not chopped and placed in water! This is one of the freshest feminine scents I can imagine-having all the allure of wearing a tulle dress in a very green sunny clearing, an orchard not too far, and a kindhearted friend is pouring you a glass of dry champagne. If I haven't made it clear enough, this is is marvelous!

I like the editorial review on his one!

Foliflora may very well be the brightest and freshest of the Guerlain AA line

I was really surprised to lean that it has an amber and vanilla base, as the scent never goes gourmand on me. The leafy green citrus and fresia is what stays and stays with Foliflora and it does give you the impression of a moist leafy garden. I also expected to see "green note" listed as the composition is a green one, cool and enchanting throughout. Pretty, lovely and lifting, the garden here is one drenched in sunshine and gentle breezes. The florals are present but do not overpower Foliflora with sweetness making the scent appropriate in most settings.

I have a back up bottle of this one!
