Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Rosa Rossa Eau de Toilette 125mL

Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Rosa Rossa smells like a dewy rose bouquet tossed with berry jam. Blackcurrant, lychee and mandarin sparkle at the start, then Bulgarian rose, peony and dried plum bloom in the heart, before white musk, benzoin and sandalwood leave a soft, creamy and slightly powdery trail.

The key notes in Guerlain Rosa Rossa are mandarin, lychee and blackcurrant at the top, rose, peony and dried plum at the heart, and white musk, benzoin and sandalwood in the base. The fruit adds juicy sparkle, the rose and peony carry the floral heart, and the musky woods soften the finish.

Guerlain Rosa Rossa is a floral fragrance with a fruity, citrus-lifted opening. In practice, that means rose is the star, but it is brightened by mandarin, lychee and blackcurrant, so it feels fresh and juicy rather than the deep, heavy rose some people expect.

This Guerlain Rosa Rossa is an Eau de Toilette in a 125mL refillable bottle. EDT strength suits its light, sparkling character and is ideal for generous, repeated application on warm days, while the large 125mL size makes it a good value as an everyday bottle.

Guerlain Rosa Rossa is best for spring and summer days, brunches, garden parties and daytime events, because its blackcurrant, lychee and dewy rose feel cool and fresh. It also suits warm evenings out, while its creamy sandalwood base keeps it from feeling too thin.

Guerlain Rosa Rossa suits anyone who loves rose but wants a juicy, youthful take on it, especially fans of fruity florals and light musks. If you prefer dark, smoky or heavily resinous rose perfumes, this sparkling, fruit-lifted style may feel a little too light.

Yes, Guerlain Rosa Rossa makes a lovely gift for rose lovers and anyone who enjoys romantic, fruity florals. The honeycomb-necked bottle with its golden bee lid looks elegant, it is refillable, and the 125mL size makes a generous present for birthdays or Mother's Day.
