Enjoying oranges on hot days
Hello, my favorite snoopers. Welcome to my latest comment. Today I'm writing about the latest Allegoria fragrance by Guerlain, a very nice fragrance series, which has produced a lot of fragrances in the meantime and therefore there are of course some less successful fragrances among them, but you can still find at least as many very nice fragrances. The Allegoria series is actually one of these perfect fragrance series, where there is something for everyone and you can really enjoy browsing through them, well, actually... unfortunately, it is not the case that all these fragrances are always available.
Unfortunately, most shops do not even have ten different fragrances from this range, but well, that's how it is with many fragrances. Now comes one of the newest fragrances, the "Orange Soleia", which appeals to me by its name, because I like fresh fragrances, especially with oranges in them. And according to the labeling here it is finally unisex again :)
Well then, let's see how it smells, even if the summer should be long gone, but honestly, many people couldn't really enjoy this summer, but maybe you can make a note of the scent for next summer, if it should be nice.
By the way: The name of the fragrance, i.e. Orange Soleia, contains the name Leia, the princess from Star Wars! What, I shouldn't start Star Wars again? *well then don't sigh*, but in the next comment I will talk more about Star Wars, that's what you get from it now, mu ha ha ha ha :DDD
A little later it still smells of oranges or blood oranges, but a slightly spicy scent is added. There is also a small, sweetish-powdery scent, which comes from the great tonka bean.
In the base, the fragrance surprisingly still smells (faintly) of oranges, slightly tonka bean and tart notes. There are woods in the background. In the later base, the fragrance smells only of oranges and woods, but this is quite pleasant, without becoming stuffy or synthetically unpleasant, as it sometimes is with some fragrances when they have had their best time.
The fragrance is and remains fresh and pleasant and is therefore a wonderful summer scent.
The bottle! The bottle is beautiful as always and you get the usual Guerlain bottle. It is filled with a pink scented liquid and, as always, has a dome at the top of the bottle, which is decorated with golden honeycombs. The square label has a golden frame and golden writing and of course shows the name of the scent. All in all as always very nice, but I would have wished for a rather dark red scent liquid to match the fragrance, which would have been a nicer eye-catcher.
I don't think I need to mention it now, but I'll do it anyway for all those who haven't checked it yet (and because I always emphasize separately in all comments when I think a fragrance is best to use): Yes, the scent here is a summer scent :D He he,
But there's one more thing I would like to mention: Although I gave the fragrance ten points, I have to say that nothing here is really new scent, but simply a very well done orange/summer scent that orange fans like me could really like. So don't expect anything unusually new or even something complex, just enjoy the great orange notes instead :)
That's it from me again, I wish you all a nice evening and see you next time :)
And yes, you see, I can also write nicely without getting angry about women or even annoying women myself with every sentence :DD

The smell:
Whoa, whoa, whoa! The fragrance starts with a wonderful orange scent, which for me smells like the slightly bitter orange peel as well as the delicious pulp. I can't tell if I'm smelling an orange at the moment or actually a blood orange, but it may be that it's actually a blood orange, because the scent seems to be a little bit different from "normal" oranges and, if I remember correctly, makes me think a little bit of these blood orange juices. Anyway, the beginning is very fresh and citric and therefore wonderful! Peppermint also adds to the freshness of the fragrance, but I can only smell it when I sniff close to the sprayed area. A little later it still smells of oranges or blood oranges, but a slightly spicy scent is added. There is also a small, sweetish-powdery scent, which comes from the great tonka bean.

The fragrance is and remains fresh and pleasant and is therefore a wonderful summer scent.
The Sillage and the durability:
The Sillage is rather moderate, as one knows it from many citric scents. For a summer scent it is still good, but you shouldn't expect others to smell it for a long time. But the durability is very surprising, as the scent stayed loosely on my skin for more than 12 hours. Of course, halfway through this time it is already only close to the body, but it is still surprising that you can smell a great orange note on your skin even at this late hour. The bottle! The bottle is beautiful as always and you get the usual Guerlain bottle. It is filled with a pink scented liquid and, as always, has a dome at the top of the bottle, which is decorated with golden honeycombs. The square label has a golden frame and golden writing and of course shows the name of the scent. All in all as always very nice, but I would have wished for a rather dark red scent liquid to match the fragrance, which would have been a nicer eye-catcher.
Conclusion:
Hmm... this scent actually puts me in a dilemma. Because I like it very much, but the question is, is the fragrance worth it if you already have a great orange scent? Well, you can see that one way or another. I think the fragrance here is worth it, even if I should have the Concentrée d'Orange Verte by Hermès, for example. Because the Hermès scent is extremely citric, it really cleans the skin with its tart scent, drives away all the cats in the area, but does extremely good on hot days. And by hot days I mean those days when once again there are unbearable heat waves well beyond 30 degrees. The scent of Guerlain is more sweet and therefore more usable on not so murderously hot days (but of course you can also use it on very hot days!). So, yes, I think the fragrance would be worthwhile for orange fans, especially since it's also unisex and, if you're a bottle victim as well, the fragrance comes in a great, great bottle! I don't think I need to mention it now, but I'll do it anyway for all those who haven't checked it yet (and because I always emphasize separately in all comments when I think a fragrance is best to use): Yes, the scent here is a summer scent :D He he,

So don't expect anything unusually new or even something complex, just enjoy the great orange notes instead :)
That's it from me again, I wish you all a nice evening and see you next time :)
And yes, you see, I can also write nicely without getting angry about women or even annoying women myself with every sentence :DD
