Aqua Allegoria Forte Mandarine Basilic

A radiant, citrus-forward scent with a bold mandarin expression that captures the essence of freshly peeled citrus rinds, bright and juicy with a hint of green freshness from basil. The opening is intense and sweet, evoking candied mandarin segments or gummy bears, with a warmth that lingers into a honeyed, creamy base. While the basil note is subtle and often fades quickly, its presence contributes a crisp green nuance that tempers the sweetness. The fragrance evolves into a soft, refined vanilla-sandalwood drydown that adds depth without overwhelming the citrus character. Longevity is moderate, with noticeable wear for several hours, though some users report it fading faster than expected. It’s strongest and most suitable during daytime hours, ideal for spring or summer, and feels best when worn in warm climates or social settings where modest sillage is preferred. The overall impression leans feminine and elegant, with a style that feels modern but classic, resembling a fresh, natural orchard or a sun-drenched European garden.
