Aqua Allegoria Ylang & Vanille   Guerlain for women Pictures

This is a bouquet composed of ylang-ylang, jasmine and vanilla, soft and exciting at the same time. It was created in 1999.

Eau de toilette line Aqua Allegoria is a fragrant fantasy, like taking a walk in the garden, and which garden it is depends on the main note of the composition, while all the other components are there to accentuate its beauty. Aqua Allegoria eau de toilettes are created mainly for women, although, some of them might as well be used by men.

Aqua Allegoria Ylang & Vanille Fragrance Reviews

Just received my rare bottle.It smells quite old fashioned, with carnation notes dominating the top, and vanilla and ylang ylang following. I don't love it, perhaps because it very strongly reminds me of the air freshener in my city's train station restrooms circa 1995. I know it sounds wrong, and I should be ashamed to say such a bad thing about this creation, but my olfactory memory spoke here before me. Don't get me wrong, I still find it quite pretty and soft, it's just not for me purely due to the WC air freshener association:( Sad:(

At last, I own this beautiful Aqua Allegoria, one of the original 5, thanks to Marie1846.

It opens very lush and exotic, with the ylang ylang in avant-scene. Then the vanilla comes in and makes the whole thing nice, sweet and creamy. The carnation brings a little sharpness, as to keep the whole thing from being too exotic/gourmand. The jasmine is a true Guerlain jasmine here.... slightly indolic, but mostly gentle and clean.

Makes my skin smell like a day on a tropical beach.

It is quite linear, which is a thing I have come to love with the AAs..... they are not complicated but beautiful. One of my new favorites!!

A few years ago my mom bought this perfume and I had no idea the name of it then, but I was in LOVE!!! I just took over the bottle and she had to let me have it. If you are looking for a dreamy, vanilla, powdery CLASSY scent, this is it! I love love love this perfume. It is my favorite all time hands down.

A very floral composition but not annoying... on me the strongest note is by far the jasmine! The vanilla and the ylang ylang stay close together in the background.
A pleasant smell, particularly for those who like jasmine and vanilla..
In the hours that follow the ylang comes stronger to the forefront, so it remains a flowery perfume the whole time (circa 6 hours)!

I got a partially used bottle of this today and the first thing I did was to drop it on a stone floor and smash the sprayer. I kicked myself when I picked up 17 goldcoloured plastic bits off the floor...
But apart from this little mishap, I am pleased with my new perfume. The smell is unusual but not unpleasant. It reminds me of Piz Buin sun screen. The scent seems fairly linear. So far no vanilla, but I am hoping that it will turn up in the drydown.

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.

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.

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!

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.
