Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Forte Mandarine Basilic Eau De Parfum 7.5ml

I received a bottle of the Aqua Allegoria Forte Mandarine Basilic courtesy of Influenster and Guerlain in exchange for my honest review. The Forte version was launched in 2022. The nose behind this fragrance is Delphine Jelk. The original (2007) was created by a Marie Salamagne. The new edition ‘s notes: Top notes are Mandarin Orange, Basil and Cassis; middle notes are Orange Blossom, Honey, Bulgarian Rose and Anise; base notes are Vanilla and Sandalwood. I compared the two versions and while the original is sparklier, the new edition is smoother and long lasting-at least on me. The vanilla and the sandalwood notes it gives the Forte edition a depth that the original didn’t have. The Forte is the more sophisticated sister but as office friendly as the little sibling ... MoreI received a bottle of the Aqua Allegoria Forte Mandarine Basilic courtesy of Influenster and Guerlain in exchange for my honest review.

I’m happy to have both in my collection but if you have the original you don’t need to buy the new edition , they are pretty similar after all. Lovely fragrance, nonetheless.

I love this perfume more than the Aqua Allegoria Nerolia Vetiver! Which I thought was going to be difficult to do. This perfume has notes of mandarin (obviously), basil, sandalwood and vanilla. It’s a beautiful sweet citrus-y smell and I can’t get enough of it! Like with my other perfumes I don’t put much on: spray on 1 wrist and dab on both and then behind the ears. This leaves me with a nice but not overpowering amount on. The staying power is pretty decent as well and lasts a few hours. The packaging is also amazing, it’s heavy and feels like its own experience! Very luxurious feeling. This is definitely something I would buy as a gift for someone as it’s beautiful from the packaging, bottle and scent.

My jaw literally dropped when I pulled out this bottle from it's box. I could not BELIEVE how beautiful this the perfume bottle was! I feel very grateful to have received it and here is my honest review: I realized the more and more perfume that I sample and try, that I am not a fan of citrusy or fruity smells. I was kind of hesitant when I got this sample but I'm so surprised by how much I liked it! It's got a bit of a freshness to it which really stays lifted throughout the day. I never feel like I have to reapply as it's so strong (I will say that it sometimes is a concern). I'm not sure if I love this scent BUT I am excited to try out others in the same line. It feels so luxurious and I love seeing the bottle on my vanity. My review for the Mandarine Basilic Eau ... MoreMy jaw literally dropped when I pulled out this bottle from it's box.

I find that it worked well layered together so I didn't smell too much of the Mandarine scent. It was a pleasure reading about this line and the ways in which it aims to be sustainable. I haven't looked into their claims yet so I cannot confirm how sustainable it all is yet. The fact that it is a refillable (and therefore reusable bottle) is so exciting! I love how beautiful it looks on my table and to know what I can refill it with another perfume or maybe face spray/toner is very appealing.

My favourite Fragrance of all! I am so glad I was able to find something that I could wear all day long and take with me when I travel. It’s perfect for summertime with all scrumptious citrusy notes combined with black currant and fresh basil, I believe that one of the best from Aqua line, and I’ve tried them all! My absolute favourite Perfume right now! I’m sure you’d love it too. TOP NOTES Lemon Mandarin Orange HEART NOTES Black currant Basil Orange blossom BASE NOTES Cedarwood Green tea Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic is juicy and tangy Mandarin flesh transcended by the aromatic freshness of basil, then energized by green tea over a background of woody notes.

This fragrance is fresh with a hint of woody, fruity and citrus scent. It is the perfect spring perfume with key notes of mandarin paired with vibrant basil and the warmth of sandalwood and vanilla. Guerlain ingredients are 95% of natural origin and are made with organic beetroot alcohol. They are dedicated to nature that their bottles are refillable and their packaging is recyclable. When you first spray the perfume, you'll get a strong hint of mandarin, but with time, it changes, and you'll smell the soft warmth of the sandalwood and vanilla, with a faint hint of orange and basil. This perfume is a good layer-able scent. Forte Mandarine Basilic isn't long-lasting, which can be good since you can layer it with another scent and create a new smell.

I received these products for free from Influenster and Guerlain's Aqua Allegoria in exchange for my honest review. I was so excited to receive this VoxBox. I received a full size 75ml/2.5 fl oz of the Madarine Basilic (orange) and a mini sample size of the Nerolia Vetiver (lime green). Love the packaging and the bottles are so beautiful with the honeycomb design and the bee on the top of the round cap. It's beautiful and elegant. My first impression when I smell it was I was going towards the Nerolia scent but when I sprayed both scent on my wrist- I'm going towards the Madarine now. The Madarine is starting to grow on me. I believe it's a perfect scent for a night out or if you want to attend a party. The scent is sweet, sexy, mature.

This fresh, springy, sexy fragrance is one I can’t get enough of!! Citrus and basil (didn’t know I’d like basil in a perfume!) and light florals come together for a scent that will put a smile on your face. Perfect packaging and bottle. This is the orange scent that I have been longing for, for so long. The orange is authentic, mature and airy. The basil grounds the orange, giving it depth and keeping it from becoming too cloying and sweet. This scent should be considered unisex as I see any man who enjoys the uplifting scent of orange, being able to pull it off well. Not masculine and not feminine, but rather somewhere in the middle of the spectrum. The perfect orange scent for my collection!

The Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic Forte Perfume is an exquisite citrus infused perfume presented in a magnificent golden bottle with a honeycomb design mesh. It has hints of sandalwood, basil, and vanilla. It smells intense and lasts all day. I am using this for myself, but it would make a beautiful gift to someone special. All my family noticed that I was wearing a new perfume and were equally as impressed. Thank you to influenster for giving me the opportunity to experience this scent.

Beautiful initially but scent doesn't last

I love fragrance and really fancied something different for this summer.I went for Guerlain because it's such a well known fragrance house and I had a lovely experience at the Liverpool One counter, where I decided on the mandarin basilic scent.Let me first say that the scent is so beautiful and unique, as is the bottle, but considering it's a parfum, the scent doesn't last at all. I'm finding myself topping up throughout the day so the bottle isn't lasting very long.It's such a shame because as I say, the initial smell is beautiful - maybe I've just chosen the wrong one, but if you're looking for something new, I wouldn't recommend these.

The scent is growing on me!
