PowderyWhat does Aqua Allegoria Figue-Iris smell like?
It opens with the citrus lift of grapefruit and bergamot, with violet softening it towards the floral side. At the heart, fig and iris take over, giving a fruity, green and powdery balance. Vanilla and vetiver carry the base, adding sweetness and a dry woodiness.
Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick summer and spring, and daily wear, leisure and office settings lead the occasions. Nearly half of voters call it feminine. Guerlain Promenade des Anglais and Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Teazzurra have a close profile.
