Aqua Allegoria Ylang & Vanille Guerlain for women

I love it! An elegant vanilla

I received my bottle yesterday.

This morning I was undoing the package and my heart beat irregularly like I had some sort of heart problem. I guess Guerlain perfumes are one of the most pleasant cardiac irritants for me ..

I'm testing my Ylang Ylang Vanille right now and OMG .. I wish there were ways to curse out loud poetically. This scent is just ... delishness. I would like to bathe & have my clothes laundered in a liquid detergent that smells like Ylang Ylang Vanille ..

Aahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
O so breath taking .. so feminine .. so cozy
what a supercalifragilisticexplialidocious scent.

To be continued (in a few hours)

This was lovely. I wish I'd bought a bottle when it was around. If you like ylang ylang and vanilla with a hint of jasmine then this is for you. Simple and elegant. Good summer evening scent.

lovely and comforting,sweet, flowery.And stronger than i expected,i only put on a tiny drop, and it lasts!

This is a "stay at home" fragrance to me, it evokes the comfort you feel after a warm bath. Very tender, warm, intimate, very creamy and cuddly. Usually vanilla based fragrances turn kind of gourmand for me, but not this one. I smell the fresh carnations in it, lots of them, and ylang ylang , and whipped cream with vanilla; I would say, everything has a honey undertone, without being too sweet.
Nice staying power and silage for an edt, but I love the Aqua Allegoria line in general, I find it brilliant in its simplicity and charm, not memorable or dramatic, but oh, so wearable and elegant...
It's a calming scent, very nurturing and kind, if I can say that about a fragrance. Warm cuddles and soft kisses.

This is mainly about the ylang for me, with carnation and vanilla being minor supporting players, It is creamy but it has a slightly musty-ness to it that is bothering me, and it doesn't wow me. No sale.

Tried this at the house of lovely mahanta. Well, it is pretty much ylang ylang that I found a little bit disturbing, but must me my chemistry. Actually I can't feel anything else but ylang ylang, such a pitty

This was my wedding scent. I lucked into at a Marshall's store where the box was beat up but the bottle was fine. $12 I think. I like how it stays sweet and light in the heat, great for hot, humid summers. It stays fresh and does not get acrid.

very elegant vanilla,not girlish and ordinary,perfect for romantic dates for nights.

Carnation + carnation + light vanilla.
I like it... but I prefer it in my grandma!

I'm not fond of the beginning but I like what it turns into. The only way to describe it is vanilla bees wax, with a honey quality. While that sounds weird it's actually a very comforting scent. Not sexy, daring, or innocent. One of those perfumes you wear for you.

The fact that I would purchase an edt by the name of YLANG & VANILLA speaks volumes of my obsession with Guerlain, for ylang ylang immediately evokes memories of Pier 1 Imports and overly incensed small claustrophobic apartments whose denizens are hippy types!

I purchased YLANG & VANILLA at TJMaxx, along with several other Aqua Allegorias, each at the ridiculously low price of $9.99 (perhaps they were mismarked by some inattentive clerk?). Having had no prior experience with the AA line, I assumed that these must be some sort of body spray--given the hefty 4.2oz volume--but felt nonetheless compelled to scoop up a basket of bottles graced as they were with the label GUERLAIN. (What a coup!)

Despite their generous volume, the beautiful Aqua Allegorias are all filled with high-quality eau de toilette, with staying power that vastly exceeds many of the current celebrity edps.

To my nose, ylang-ylang is really a domineering essence, which can therefore be tastefully combined only very sparingly with other assertive notes, as in MITSOUKO and ARPEGE, where its presence, while detectable, is tempered by all of the other mighty contenders.

In AQUA ALLEGORIA YLANG & VANILLA, the vanilla does manage to attenuate the ylang, but not much. This is really a bold blast of ylang-ylang with a dash of Vanilla and a dot of other florals. But I am enjoying this fragrance today, holed up at home to escape the sub-freezing temperature outside. I probably would not wear even Guerlain's Ylang Vanilla edt in the company of others... Unless I happened to be going to a party at an overly incensed small claustrophobic apartment!

This is a very elegant and soft vanilla. Simple and delightful for hot summer days

A comforting and creamy scent. I do not fancy wearing it in the evenings, though - IMO it is a good office fragrance and best for warmer weather. Carnation dominates the opening notes but it is not the sharp flowery carnation some might expect. It is like a breeze in a bouquet of spring flowers plus a drop of vanilla.

So far it`s my favorite Aqua Allegoria. With all it`s simplicity, it managed to capture the mood of a content and happy woman, a little dreamy, perhaps.Though it is light enough to wear in the afternoon, I always think of it as an evening perfume.Not a gala evening, but stay-with-friends evening...It is also very comforting to fall asleep wearing it, almost like an aromatherapy.

It's so calming.. I love it!
