Aqua Allegoria Tutti Kiwi Guerlain for women

If only the beautiful top notes of rhubarb (yummy!), lemon, and orange would last forever! I don't smell kiwi at all on my skin. Tutti Kiwi is very long lasting with very slight sillage. Upon drydown and wearing the woodsiness and false jasmine come out and overpower the soft citrus top notes. Usually, I like woodsy, but this one has a masculine aftershave feel on my skin. Sadly, that's the strongest note on my skin after dry down.

My understanding is that fruit notes in perfumes are nearly always constructed, so I cannot be too disappointed in myself for not being able sincerely to claim that I smell kiwi in Guerlain Aqua Allegorica TUTTI KIWI. Of course part of the problem may be that kiwi itself, even in nature, at least in my experience, does not have a super-distinct smell, in contrast to, say, strawberry. banana, apple, and cherry. What I smell may be petit grain combined with some "abstract" fruit notes.

Although its fruitiness is quite vague, this composition nonetheless smells pretty familiar to me, but not in a readily pinpointable way. It just smells like the Form of the Fruity Floral Fragrance, which does not, in my opinion, participate in the Form of Perfume. This TUTTI KIWI seems to be a "please the mass market" launch, like so many other of the Guerlain offerings since Y2K, when things really started going downhill at that house. Perhaps in part because the fruit is so nondescript, this composition seems a bit dull and thick. There's no development beyond the fading away of the petit grain (or reasonable facsimile). Nor are subtlety or complexity features of TUTTI KIWI. Instead it's just the same old generic "abstract" fruitiness found in so many other frags in the post-Perfume period of this house. C'est dommage, mais c'est comme cela. Not for me. 3.10.11

Well I can't believe I found this online. Loved the scent, with a pamplelune start mixed with flora nymphea's main chord (but less warm than FN), Tutti Kiwi does not provide a lot of kiwi in it but this is a great everyday fragrance.

It is not that fruity floral on skin. I think it's still wearable for a guy.

Great fragrance with prominent lemon, kiwi and pelargonium notes...but the lasting power is really poor. It does not last 3 hours on my skin no matter how much I apply :-(
I expected a bit more from Guerlain for that price. I am aware how difficult it is to make the kiwi-lemon fragrances last long, as these notes vapour quickly, but 3 hours lasting power does not justify the price.
Great as an after shower mist but that would be all about the fragrance.

Top notes are delicious. So fresh spraying !!!
Than starts kiwi the most, but is a bit to soft on colder days, better on warm days.
It is not a scent hanging around you so you catch a sniff all the time.

If only the beautiful top notes of rhubarb (yummy!), lemon, and orange would last forever! On my skin Tutti Kiwi is very long lasting with very slight sillage. Upon drydown and wearing the woodsiness and geranium come out and over power the soft citrus and kiwi. Usually I like woodsy, but this one has a masculine aftershave feel on my skin. Sadly, that's the strongest note on my skin after dry down. Wouldn't repurchase
