Guerlain

 Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic Forte Eau de Parfum

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Gorgeous packaging and looks beautiful set out and displayed. Unfortunately I am sensitive to scents and this is slightly strong and a more mature feminine smell. I prefer lighter scents or more masculine undertones

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The packaging is so very pretty and it sprays on so well. I wanted to love the scent based on the description but sadly, it did not smell good to me. Just not my kind of scent. The scent is very spring vibes, if you're looking for something fresh with floral notes. Not for me though!

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] At first impression, the packaging gave an impression of honey and mandarin oranges. The bottle itself is made out of glass, so it feels heavy in your hand. But it was interesting to see that the gold details on the top half of the bottle were made out of plastic, just to note. That'll be said, it's still a beautiful bottle. That's easy to hold and spritz. And looks beautiful on my vanity as well. The scent is exactly what I imagined it being, a honeyed mandarin orange, with a slight floral scent to it, similar to orange blossom. I even got a scent of vanilla after it lingered on my skin for a while. Overall, it's a good summer scent and being paired with something a little warmer or muskier can definitely take you into fall as well.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] First of all the bottle is really cute. I like the honeycomb detailing at the top. The perfume is marketed for women but I think its more unisex. I have a few unisex perfumes in my collection but nothing like this one, so I'm happy to have it as a unique addition to my collection. In the opening I get the notes of the fresh citrus mandarin and the basal brings out a kind of earthiness to it. I've been wearing it and I do enjoy it, especially when I want a perfume that is not leaning sweet in any way. I think this is a good perfume for anyone that likes a fruit fresh citrus perfume that isn't sweet! l don't think it's an overpowering scent, I've only spritzed myself once or twice though. The autonomizer on the perfume is very nice as well provided a good amount. The dry down is very nice, it leaves a soft woody aroma. The more you spray I think the better the projection and longevity will be but it's not classified as an extremely intense scent here. Guerlain's website rates it's intensity 2/4 and I can agree with that.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] When I first used this, I did not like the scent at all. I sat with it for a bit and started to get little whiffs of it as I moved about my day. I could smell the mandarin with a hint of basil and sandalwood. It reminded me of walking around in the fresh air of Scotland, moving from shop to shop. It makes me feel fresh and lively but it's also comforting. It grew on me and now I use it daily. The scent is more unique compared to the perfume I usually buy but I would recommend it and look forward to trying other scents from Guerlain!
