Aqua Allegoria Laurier - Reglisse Guerlain for women

This is my first Aqua Allegoria experience. The unknown liquid, the miraculous water from Guerlain stepped into lobby of my heart without ringing the bell. It was Laurier Reglisse. The fairy from the forrest with herbal veil wrapped around her body. Spicy licorice was hanging as a necklace towards her waist. I thought, how impeccably clean she seems. And noiseless. I wanted to touch her crown made of bay leafs and violets, and to hold on to her absolute grace forever. Laurier Reglisse stayed with me for couple of hours, resting on my right hand wrist, chanting "I’ve been dreaming, straight from the heart..."
I do hope she will come back one day.

Begins as a very spicy green on me, almost like Linden leaves and ginger crushed together. Then peppery bay becomes clear and sweetens into a herby green floral, like a garden warmed by the sun. Unfortunately, this stage doesn't last and the scent continues on to dry down to a disappointing rather ordinary floral, without the bright, green notes it started with. Too bad, because the onset is fantastic.

It starts out spicy, herbal, the beginning is very aromatic and very green. Soon after, the entire composition became sickly sweet on me. I could not discern any of the interesting notes of bay leaf, licorice, violet..even the amber and galabanum are completely hidden from my nose under this thick, sugary, coating. The scent is strong, and the fixation lasts a very long time. Bummer..*sigh* I just love all the notes listed!

Laurier-Réglisse... I was expecting not to like this or to find it so-so at best and yet it turns out to be my favourite in the Acqua Allegoria range. This is really nicely done and perfectly balanced. It's simple, clean, fresh, charming, noticeable but never over-powering. Perfect for happy summer days. Great as a gift as well, I should think.

This is lovely. I love how clean and fresh this smells, and there is sort of a gourmand quality to it in the dry down from the violet and amber. In the opening the bergamot and bay leaf take center stage. They smell citrusy and have a sparkle to them, and very feminine. Not once did I mistake this for a men's cologne. It's very unique, I'm sure to please a large crowd. Like the reviewer below I also wore Herba Fresca, and this is just as attractive.

This is the scent of summer. The lime/fruit in the top note is prominent and fresh. Guerlain blends the green smells into something light and clean.I don't know that if you didn't read the notes you'd immediately know that you're wearing bay leaf and licorice, but the anise provides a calm coolness and there is something that isn't pepper but a bit peppery that perks the fragrance up. The flowers are sweet and delicate. Nothing here is cloying or over the top. This is a fresh cool scent that has decent longevity but will never be overpowering. It's perfect for a hot day, when you want to smell cool. It's also nice for the occasional winter day when you're missing summer.

My boyfriend has never noticedmy fragrance before but he loves Laurier Reglisse as do I. I used to wear Herba Fresca from this range but find it difficult to come by these days, but the Laurier fragrance is just as addicted -- fresh but warm, subtle and rather sexy without being overpowering. It makes me feel very feminine.
