  Seeing ginger is in vogue, Guerlain released their Aqua Allegoria version. This line no longer excites me; it reminds me of a neighbour’s dog that whelped every year (in the eighties, animals were as practical as a coat rack; nowadays they’d surely have been neutered). Ginger Piccante isn’t my style; it’s more of a rose water with spicy lemon notes. I tried to appreciate it but have no idea, as the rose doesn’t convince me. It’s a floral, citrus, and ozonic mist with two currents: a rosy one and an acidic one. Ginger is usually dynamic, but here there’s nothing but a crisp opening and a smoky note I dislike. Then comes the young, tender rose, but it’s drowned by litres of lemon. It’s odd, like mixing vanilla and incense and only smelling of a bonfire. Here, the pretty rose is obscured by lemon and pepper. I don’t know why, but I imagine honey and lemon sweets, fresh and candied at once, and I neither like nor dislike them.

  With the trendy ginger Guerlain launched their Aqua Allegoria. This line which I once thought was the bomb now leaves me completely indifferent; it reminds me of a neighbour’s dog from the countryside who somehow brought twenty-four puppies into the world every year (do not judge too harshly it was the eighties animals served as coat racks something practical; nowadays they would surely have been neutered). Ginger Piccante is not my style; rather than refreshing ginger it smells of rose water with spicy nuances of yellow lemon. Accepting that I tried to assess whether it is good because it cannot be that everything seems terrible to me. The truth is I have no idea as its rose tone does not convince me although that is positive because it seemed like a half-interesting Aqua Allegoria compared to the previous production which was practically the same perfume over and over again. The rough sketch is a floral/citrus/ozone mist between light and heavy with two currents: one rosy and one acidic. Ginger is one of my favourite notes energising with speed and dynamism. Here there is nothing of that; ignoring the opening (which smells crisp but with something smoky that I do not like) it gives way to the rose young tender realistic and delicate at just the right point of youth if you catch it tomorrow it will already smell of more perverse things. Unfortunately the rose is packed with lemon. I have found that strange. It is an association I still do not understand like when they feel like mixing vanilla and incense and you no longer smell anything but a stifling bonfire. Something similar happens here: the pretty rose which is truly not ugly is capped all the time by litres of lemon and voila pepper in case there were not enough spicy currents. I have no idea of the reason but the image this water recreates in my mind without stop is that of one of those honey and lemon flavoured sweets a kind of body between fresh and candied that I neither like nor dislike.

  I tested it on a blotter. At first, it smells like those candied ginger sweets from health food shops, sweet, citrusy, and spicy. Then a rose emerges with a citrus note, reminding me of the rose candies my mother brought from Greece. Although it sounds like jam, it’s not sweet; it’s fresh and calming. I’d love to add it to my collection.

  My second Aqua Allegoria; it performs well on my skin and lasts over eight hours. You can detect the rose and ginger with that peppery kick. It smells comforting and relaxes me immensely; I remember the first time I heard of it… delicious…

  Top pick for summer. A wick of ginger, citrus, and roses that refresh. Longevity and price are average, but that spicy touch is brilliant. The Aqua Allegoria line is ideal for spring and summer, subtle yet characterful.

  It’s baffling they’ve discontinued it; it’s fresh and spicy all at once. The ginger creates that perfect blend of coolness and warmth that is so comfortable. I regret not buying three bottles a month ago; it smells incredible 🙁

  Reminds me of Miracle by Lancôme, just like the rest of the Aqua Allegoria collection; exquisite.
