A gentle floral caress

Story

Since 1999, the Aqua Allegoria collection has been meant as a tribute to nature. Grapefruit, a garden of tender herbs, and cheery trees in bloom have all been featured. Aqua Allegoria’s place within the Guerlain range is somewhere between a cologne and an eau de toilette. With Flora Nymphéa, for the first time ever, an Aqua Allegoria is being incarnated by a woman’s face, in the form of a nymph, ‘a goddess of Nature, whose gracefulness has turned her into a mythical figure in Art and a symbol of the Renaissance’. Guerlain’s Nymph aims to be modern, a cross between a fairy and a woman.

Description

The fragrance’s fresh opening blends herbal and fruity notes. The delicate floral heart has been composed around seringa, a.k.a. mock orange, and orange blossom. The trail, evocative of gentleness and lightness, reveals waves of honey. Perfumer: Thierry Wasser

Range

Eau de Toilette 4.2 oz.

Bottle

Faithful to the tradition of the bottle designed by sculptor Robert Granai, Flora Nymphéa preserves the original allure, emblematic of the Aqua Allegorias. But the label has changed and is now golden. As for the packaging, it has been revisited as well, and has been graced with a white honeycomb texture.
