Aqua Allegoria Jasminora Guerlain for women

Uniqueness: 4/10
Longevity: 5/10
Overall: 4/10

This is such a clear jasmine fragrance that is uncluttered and simple. The longevity is alright and wears lightly for hours on my skin. A must-try for lovers of jasmine and the slight fruitiness of bergamot and sliver of musk. I never really detected the other notes, but I like it that way.

I love this - it's a bit more intense than my usual faves - Herba Fresca and Mandarine Basilic..... My husband prefers sweeter, stronger fragrances, so I decided to compromise. I love the of jasmine, and I don't find it cloying like other jasmine based fragrances. The freesia adds just enough sweetness - any more, and it would smell thick and sticky, I suspect. Anyhow, I wore it to bed the other night and my husband, the great romantic, asked if I'd been cleaning the floors. Who cares? I love it anyway!!!

Summer's freshness in a bottle! Thankfully, it somehow has enough oompf - maybe it is the musk and the amber - for all seasons. For me, it has been a welcome pick-me-up during some particularly gloomy winter days.

Jasmine is one of my favourite flowers. I find its scent intoxicatingly beautiful, especially during Spring. Jasmine based fragrances quite often lose a lot of their natural beauty during distillation, and as a result can smell quite indolic, somewhat like urine on the skin.

Jasminora is an exception. I really like this fragrance and I find it beautiful, cheerful and crisp. The jasmine accord is light, sweet and natural, further complimented by green, citrusy bergamot.

I half expected this fragrance to take on a soapy quality towards the drydown, but thankfully it remained fresh and floral. I feel pretty and content wearing Jasminora, it's like a ray of sunshine on a dark day. I think I may have found my signature fragrance for the warmer months.

I'm not usually one to delight in citrus accords, but in this particular fragrance the citrus is what makes this fragrance so enjoyable. It's also half the reason why the jasmine settles so nicely on the skin. I would describe Jasminora as a zesty floral resulting in an uplifting and bright sensation.

Other than the jasmine, lily of the valley and freesia also have big roles to play. I can certainly see why some may compare Jasminora to Diorissimo. The florals are all green in nature and somewhat dewy and fresh.

The lasting power is really good, as other reviewers have noted. In terms of sillage, I would say it's moderate, not too strong but certainly noticeable. I highly recommend.

Well, this is a fragrance true to its name.
It starts of quite fresh and petulant. With the bergamot and the jasmine. Refreshing and nice.
When it starts to dry down I get jasmine, but also this plasticky balloon scent. Really weird.
Fortunately this note quickly fades away and then JASMINORA becomes true, natural, pure, heady jasmine with hints of both leaves and stem of the jasmine bush.
Simply DIVINE.
Creamy, soft, a little bit soapy. It stays close to the skin, softly caressing it with a gentle touch, like a lover.
And the scent lasts!

JASMINORA reminds me of warm summernights, sitting in the beautiful garden of an old mansion, drinking tea or wine, listening to the creatures of the night, being enveloped by the deep, rich, creamy, yet fresh scent of jasmine.
This fragrance transports me to another time, another world.

It's a summerscent, for sure, but I will also wear it on a rainy day, so that JASMINORA can envelop me with the soft magic of Mediterranian summers.

EDIT: I kept sniffing the bottle and I kept smelling this wonderful, powerful jasmine scent, just pure jasmine. Then I sprayed on JPG CLASSIQUE en sniffed the JASMINORA bottle again.
And there it was! The plastic balloon scent!
I remembered that when I first sprayed Jasminora, I was indeed wearing CLASSIQUE, so a combination of both fragrances creates this really weird scent in my nose.
I'm soooooo happy! Now I know I can love JASMINORA! Truely LOVE it.

zesty, fresh, citrusy jasmin... it has an aquatic/ watery quality to it and i should say that i don't enjoy this quality very much. it makes it sharp, i was hoping to find a natural smell of jasmin that blooms in night. But this is too sour with citrus, in my humble opinion, although these two notes goes well normally

Wonderful shower of jasmines... Natural scents of jasmine plant absolutely! I'm glad to have this as my collection. It's so feminine from the start till the end. I have something clear and pure feeling when first time sniffing this.
Jasmin, Frangipani, Tuberose could grow everywhere in some islands in my country. They just like.. a patent plant because they are growing surround me maybe from hundred years ago. Sometime I take bath with jasmine and rose as our ancient like to do... And now... I can take beautiful natural jasmin everywhere I go.. :)

Once again I have bought a scent I thought I would love blind and once again I have been disappointed. This is way too powdery for me and I don't get much jasmine at all. It just smells so Estee Lauder and does not have the depth of a Guerlain scent. What is LVMH doing? Will probably keep this for awhile as the packaging is beautiful and I do not have a Guerlain beehive bottle but eventually this limited edition will end up on e-bay.

Whoa!!! This is JASMINE. I have been fumbling in a jasmine bush all night long ;-) it really does smell like that! The opening is citrusy, it soon turns in to a pure jasmine after about 3 mins, the jasmine lingers well into hours with just the slightest hint of musk towards the end. It's not subtle and airy, nor thick and heady, it's the middle ground, between l'occitanes jasmine & bvlgari jasmine noir. My first from this range, and now I want totey them all!

This is really a nice jasmine floral. It's very fresh and cool, and very plantlike, reminds me of getting jasmine sap on my hands when I was a kid, trying to pick it off the vine.

You smell some jasmine all the way through, but starts off with a fresh, tender leafiness. Then it softens into a rich but fresh milky white floral, with the cool green aspect still in the background. When I wear it, I definitely get quite a bit more of the lily of the valley than jasmine, which is nice, but... not quite the jasmine I was expecting.

This would be beautiful for spring and summer, espeically to jasmine or lily of the valley lovers.

I agree with most reviews here, AA Jasminora it's one of the most beautiful jasmines out there. Zesty , not too sweet , bright, uplifting...wonderful.Freesia it's also recognizable. Unlike most here, I get a great sillage and good staying power (about 6-8 hours). It's a great choice for any season, use it whenever you feel happy.Get it while you can, it's a limited edition.It's going in my top 10!

This is indeed a very fresh, earthy, creamy and realistic jasmine scent. It starts off a bit bitter and green, and then turns creamy and milky. I appreciate it, but something about it on my skin disturbs me. Might be the freesia - it's usually a problematic note for me. In the first few minutes after this is sprayed on, it also has a hint of something like mothballs. Although it seems to be a well-done scent, it's just not for me.

If you enjoy green, fresh and crispy scents and have a craving for a jasmine that is light and natural, then JASMINORA will fit the bill. Jasmine in this fragrance is so tender, light and fresh that it feels like a gentle breeze rather than heady and strong jasmine aroma I am used to. This jasmine is not a sensual seductress but a young pretty girl in a white dress with sunshine on her face. And that’s why I love this fragrance so much. It feels so green and refreshing on a hot summer day like today and it makes me feel pretty and happy too.

The scent opens with very nice green notes of bergamot and cyclamen with the jasmine aroma making its presence right away. The scent transforms into very green, fresh jasmine with freesia and lily of the valley. Jasmine is truly beautiful in the heart notes. I would not classify this scent as a jasmine only scent as I think the green and crisp accent comes from the freesia and lily of the valley. Both of them are quite noticeable on my skin but the jasmine is definitely leading the way. The scent stays beautiful for about an hour and then transitions on my skin into a light floral musk.

My overall rating is 8/10. I wish the beautiful jasmine phase lasted longer. It lasts one hour max on me, so I have to re-apply.

oh god, i am in love with this fragrance. i think i'm gonna cry when i run out and they're not making it any more. do limited editions ever get remade??? 10 out of 10 for this!

I really love this Jasmine perfume...i am just so disappointed by the lack of sillage.
I literly don't smell the fragrance on me after 20 minutes..i now spray it in large amounts over my chest/neck area and arms... amounts that with any other perfume i own, would make me like one of those women who walk by, leaving a smothering, almost slap-in-the-face kind of perfume scent..but even then after an hour the perfume is almost nowhere to detect anymore.
Really too bad, because i love the scent!

So far the best from AA range! It's a lovely light jasmine with some fresh green accords. The freesia and lily-of-the-valley are also quite intensive, but blend nicely within the composition. Great for spring and summer. I wish it was available as EdP as well.

I think I have found my perfect jasmine. Not too indolic, not too heavy, not too sweet. It has a lovely bergamot opening which shifts into jasmine petals and some soft musk. So pretty! It makes me think of peach-colored satin overlayed with chiffon. A perfect spring and summer floral. I only hope it's not discontinued too soon, as the Aqua Allegorias often are.

This is exactly what it says it is, a floral green jasmine scent. Is it the best jasmine scent I've ever smelled? No. But it is a nice light green jasmine, maybe a good tradeoff for jasmine lovers from their usual jasmine scent to this one as their spring and summer jasmine fragrance.

A really good, strong and true jasmin. No 'oopsy daisy got a little crazy with the sweet notes' here! It's almost like an essential jasmin oil, though a bit more herbal even and less sweet. I actually think I could not pull it off, because I imagine mysterious beautiful women behind black robes in the middle-east wearing this. But maybe that's just me!

Wow. A little fizzy lemonade beginning then Proper freshly picked jasmine. Like being showered in the flowers or standing next to a bush of the things. If you're looking for jasmine you've found it. Here's hoping this one stays in the Aqua stable as long as Herba Fresca!

Addendum: Unfortunatly the drydown is terrible. Really terrible in a needing to be washed off or other people may actually find you unpleasant type way. Makes me flinch. Very disappointed indeed :(((

Truly this is the most fantastic jasmine ever! I have never before found a perfume that captured the moment, usually just before dusk, when the gorgeous heady smell of jasmine fills the garden with enchantment. I am in love! Lovely sillage and with better lasting power than most Allegorias - but not quite up to Pamplelune standard. But why a limited edition? Already I am panicking that this will be gone too soon - time to start stockpiling!

Smells wonderful, but on me, within minutes I have to mash my nose against my skin to detect it. I wouldn't buy it, because it's just too weak. Too bad....

This is the best jasmin ever for me, real italian jasmin.
not cloying, not sharp, so beautiful, sweet, natural, green leaves and honey.
I have a big jasmin on my terrace and...what can I say...Jasminora smells like home. I am so grateful to Guerlain for giving me such a strong emotional experience.
I agree with Liina and Dina: I'm in love.

Indeed one of the best jasmine perfumes I have ever smelled.

I love it!!! it is my signature sent for this summer!

Lovely scent! Eventually Guerlain came out with a meaningful Allegoria! Jasminora is both fresh and warm. Of course I smell mainly jasmin, but I wouldn't call it a soliflore. It's more complicated than pure jasmin smell. It doesn't remind me of the flower itself. It's a very feminine yet wearable scent, like a little fraction of Samsara maybe, without the tons of sansalwood.
I enjoy Notre Flore Jasmin so much and still I think that Jasminora is more refined, even if less extrovert. Also lasting power is quite good. I wear it from testers when I find them, but I won't buy FB for now, because I have too many perfumes now and different jasmins!

I'm writing this review while I'm having the paper stripe just under my nose :)

OMG! it's one of the best fragrances I smelled lately, maybe even in the last couple of years... It's an amazing jasmine fume, a typical soliflore example, that captures the essence of jasmine. What makes it extremely unique and alluring it's the sweetness of the notes, I've never smelled such a sweet and well balanced jasmine fragrance, which are either combined with other notes that hide the beauty of this lovely white flower, or have a sharp pungent notes.

Jasminora is utterly feminine, tender, classy and very long lasting...the best jasmine fragrance ever...

Bravo Guerlain :)

UPDATE:

Finally got my hands on this little treasure and wanted to share the inscription on the box:

"A stroll at twilight
Be enraptured
by the sensual aromas of jasmine
And fall under their spell.

Jasminora
The spirit of Jasmine
and a note of freesia."

Such a remarcable scent with an impressive silage! Very bright, zesty perfume with a natural smelling jasmin. It has an elegant touch, very good for a ladylike feeling.
It could be on my list for this season.

Oh my god! I found it! My true jasmine scent. It's Aqua Allegoria Jasminora.
As jasmine is my most favourite scent in the world I was looking for a perfume with a dominating note of true jasmine. Many people suggested me Notre Flore Jasmin by L`Occitane en Provence but it was nowhere near my country to be found, so I started a search of my own. And finally there it was. I first noticed a picture of it in a magazine and when I saw the name I knew it was a must-test for me. And no disappointment there. The jamine is just perfect. That's all I needed. I'm in love!

This is a Jasmin lover like myself dream come true. Oh Guerlain please let this be fantastic. I want!

Only from top notes, It's clear that will fantastic!!!I want it!!!
Bergamot; always favorite fresh note...
Jasmine; my dear...
Galbanum; oh yeah!!!...
