A Sun-Drenched Burst of Mandarin and Basil
Description
Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic Forte is a vibrant, aromatic and intensely fresh Eau de Parfum — a bold reinterpretation of the beloved Mandarine Basilic from the iconic Aqua Allegoria collection. The Forte version amplifies the original's signature citrus-herbal character, delivering a more concentrated, longer-lasting and more radiant experience.
It opens with an exhilarating burst of sun-ripened Sicilian mandarin — juicy, sparkling and intensely citrusy — immediately lifted by the cool, aromatic freshness of green basil. The heart deepens with petitgrain and white florals, adding a clean, luminous complexity. The base settles into a soft, warm finish of white musk and woods — light, airy and beautifully lasting. Part of Guerlain's sustainable Aqua Allegoria collection, presented in a refillable, recyclable bottle.
