Aqua Allegoria Grosellina
by Guerlain
Grosellina by Guerlain is a bright, fruity-floral fragrance with a distinctive red currant heart that captures the essence of summer without veering into syrupy territory. It opens with a crisp citrus burst from Amalfi lemon and bergamot, layered with mandarin orange, creating a refreshing and uplifting first impression. The core of the scent is a vibrant, slightly sweet red currant, enhanced with soft tea and subtle floral nuances that give it a delicate, austere elegance. While some note its slight sweetness and dryness, the overall character remains fresh and transparent—comparable to a sunlit berry field with a hint of green tea. The scent is notably linear, with no dramatic shifts, offering consistent freshness throughout the day. Its appeal lies in its gentle, non-industrial fruity character that feels natural and lightly wearable.
