For Summer 2019, Guerlain has added a new member to its ever-growing Aqua Allegoria Collection. Inspired by "an escape along the Sakura river shaded by blossoming cherry trees", the Aqua Allegoria Flora Cherrysia Eau de Toilette ($87 CAD for 75 ml) is a delicate fresh floral boasting notes of watermelon and cherry blossom. To read my review of this scent, click......
The Bottle:
The Aqua Allegoria Flora Cherrysia comes in a cylindrical clear glass bottle with a rounded top covered in a shiny golden mesh inspired by the iconic Bee Bottle from Guerlain. The bulb-shaped cap is etched with the Guerlain bee and the perfume is tinted a light shade of pink to capture the spirit of cherry blossoms.
The Scent:
Opening on a light and mouthwatering combination of bergamot and watermelon, Flora Cherrysia is a soft and fresh floral with a strong presence of sweet cherry blossom. The sillage and longevity are quite disappointing so this is definitely a scent that needs regular reapplying. The scent fades within a couple of hours so the base notes are barely detectable. Overall, this is a really lovely and pleasing cherry blossom fragrance with a splash of fruity notes. However, the scent is just too weak to be properly appreciated. If you are looking for a stronger cherry blossom scent, check out the Maison Christian Dior Perfume called "Sakura".
Availability:
Guerlain available at Hudson's Bay, Sephora, Nordstrom, Holt Renfrew, and www.guerlain.com.
