About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Aqua Allegoria Gentiana launched in 2001 as part of Guerlain's fresh, nature-inspired Aqua Allegoria line. This women's floral green scent opens with a bright, effervescent burst of grapefruit, lime, bergamot, and orange. The citrus quartet is sharp and juicy, not sugary, setting a crisp tone. As it settles, gentiana—a bitter, alpine flower—emerges alongside a soft pear note. Gentiana brings a grassy, slightly earthy bitterness that keeps the sweetness in check, while pear adds a gentle, watery fruitiness. The base of musk and sandalwood is quiet and clean, giving the fragrance a smooth, skin-like finish without heaviness. The overall effect is a bracing, green-citrus cologne with a subtle floral heart. It suits collectors who appreciate uncomplicated, refreshing scents that feel like a walk through a mountain meadow. Ideal for spring and summer daytime wear, it's a safe blind buy for lovers of classic Guerlain citrus or fans of the Aqua Allegoria range. The bitterness of gentiana makes it stand out from typical sweet florals, and its discontinued status adds to its appeal for those seeking a piece of early-2000s perfumery.

Before you buy

A batch code cannot prove authenticity on its own, but it can expose contradictions — a code that decodes to a date before the fragrance existed, or a bottle and box that disagree.
