Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Bergamote Calabria Unisex
Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Bergamote Calabria — a 2014 unisex EDT from Guerlain, the most popular member of the house's light-summer Aqua Allegoria series. Perfumer Thierry Wasser places bergamot from Italy's Calabria region at the conceptual centre: the opening serves a petitgrain and bergamot Italian citrus festival, the heart brings cardamom and ginger in a soft spiced middle, the base settles on a green-woody accord and white musk. A universal summer-spring light signature, daytime freshness, office-street dual-use. Sillage soft (close-medium), longevity 4-6 hours — the light performance expected from an EDT. Universal unisex, classical Italian-citrus perfumery spirit.

Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Bergamote Calabria — the Italian-citrus summer signature
Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Bergamote Calabria is the 2014 unisex EDT from Guerlain, the French house. Often typed as "Guerlain Bergamote", "Aqua Allegoria", "Bergamote Calabria". Aqua Allegoria is the house's light-summer series operating since 1999 — each composition is dedicated to a season-fruit-flower.
Calabrian bergamot in Wasser's interpretation
Perfumer Thierry Wasser (Guerlain's in-house since 2008) places bergamot raw material from Italy's Calabria region at the centre. The opening creates a light-green Italian citrus festival of petitgrain (the green-faced bitter-orange leaf) and bergamot. The heart builds a soft spiced middle of cardamom and ginger — providing a depth core different from ordinary summer-citrus compositions. The base settles on a green-woody accord and white musk. Overall a soft sillage (close-medium), longevity 4-6 hours — the light performance expected from an EDT.
Who Bergamote Calabria is for, and where
Ages 20-65 — universal. A light summer-spring signature, for those drawn to classical Italian-citrus perfumery. Place: daytime office, the street, brunch, coffee dates, sport events, summer holidays. Office-street dual-use, a soft freshness that never turns dense. Opens best in high temperatures — has special value as a summer perfume.
