Aroma Allegoria Aromaparfum Apaisant Guerlain for women

Stronger than I expected, at least on the top notes. I suppose the Allegoria line was more like real perfume when it started... Well, the top notes are strong on a woody feel ( possibly wormwood / absinthe? I don't know) and mimosa I would say, followed by something that resembles strongly chamomile and linden blossom tea. Ylang ylang is present in the background, never taking the front stage. The base is a vanilla which isn't foody, rather a dry vanilla with hint of sweetness. Top to bottom there is a honey note that seems to rule over everything.
The bottle is really lovely, silage and lasting power unexpectedly good for something containing the word "aqua". Only the base is very soft.
It doesn't work on my skin too well, as I find the scent rather strange, a bit sunny, a tad oriental, flowery and too unusual for my nose. I'd say it resembles quite a bit Mimosa de L'esterel from L'occitane and especially Yohji Essential. It is the strong chamomile note in it which makes it sort of unusual, as this is not a typical perfumey note. If you like those two mentioned above, and would like a combination of them, do try this one. The scent radiates warmth.
Edit: the more I become familiar with this perfume the more I love it. So feminine and bright! Amazing silage and lasting power! Very voluptuous, I wonder why was it discontinued? I don't get it!

Edit again.... tried 2 times, still the opening is just too weird and strong for my taste. Up for swap a brand new pristine bottle.

This fragrance smells like a very fresh honey from spring flowers on my skin. It is neither too sweet nor too strong, very tender. Apaisant is a light, "quiet" fragrance with a powdery vanilla base. Perfect for spring!
