Aqua Allegoria Forte - Mandarine Basilic Eau de Parfum

The perfect Citrus scent

This perfume is top notch. I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed the scent for day or evening wear. The notes of orange zest helps the perfume stand out. The scent is refreshing and not overpowering. The bottle is elegantly designed. This is a perfume that I would purchase again.

Juicy mandarin

A beautiful, refreshing citrus perfume with a luxurious twist. Great longevity for a citrus scent, and super easy to wear every day It’s fresh but also rich — perfect for daytime, warm weather, vacations, or anytime you want something bright and classy. It gives off a clean, natural, elegant feel. Because this is the Forte version, it lasts longer than the regular Aqua Allegoria line. Expect around 6–8 hours depending on your skin. It projects nicely at the beginning but settles into a comfortable, warm citrus aura. This fragrance opens with a bright, juicy mandarin note that feels sweet, sunny, and uplifting. The basil adds a green, aromatic twist that keeps it from smelling too sugary. As it settles, it becomes warmer and smoother, with a soft sweetness that feels more “golden” than citrusy.

Super potent perfume but smells amazing

When i first saw the note or mandarin i wasn’t exactly sure how it would smell. But i ended up loving this scent! While i only wear one spray of it on my body because it’s so strong i love using it as a bathroom spray.

Gorgeous citrusy scent

Oh, this scent is as clean as a fresh spring day! It smells delightfully light and citrusy! It makes me feel like I should be wearing a soft sweater with jean shorts and enjoying a day of relaxing in the shade with friends. It’s clean in a bottle and so soft, not to say it’s not long lasting, it’s just so delicate in its scent!

Clean and fruity vibes

This is easily a daily wear type of fragrance since it’s not cloying or offensive in any way. It’s not my typical scent profile which is why I rated it as a three star not because it’s not a beautiful fragrance. This is a nice clean girl/fruity leaning scent. It’s got decent longevity but not nuclear projection so if you’re looking for something clean and slightly more intimate I would recommend this. Also, these bottles are stunning and definitely for show on a vanity or parfum shelf.

Fresh, Sunny Citrus!

Love this scent! It opens with a light, beautiful burst of citrus that instantly gives off “afternoon brunch in Italy” vibes. It is such an easy, uplifting fragrance that works any time of year, but it is especially perfect for summer. On my skin it lasted all day, and the dry down is gorgeous. The bright citrus softens and lets the sandalwood come through in a smooth, warm way. Absolutely recommend this!

Very summery, citrus perfume that roll into Mandar

I really enjoy this fragrance. The citrus opening, that roll into intense mandarin notes, are very lovely. . There are base notes of vanilla and sandalwood that have an impressive longevity. The evolution of the scent throughout the day is a delite This is something I would imagine one would wear at a formal event, for work or pleasure. The perfume exudes class. I feel like this would be best in the summer but think the vanilla and sandalwood add seasonal opportunities. The bottle itself is very charming. The honeycomb, beehive design is unique and stands out. I have had multiple people ask questions about it.

No long lasting

I received this product courtesy of Influenster but my opinion is my own. I have tried many different products similar to this one and it did the job but had very poor staying power. I am a Light Blue Intense lover and use lush for my everyday needs. This scent did not have any staying power which shocked me because it was a lovely scent but even when putting on a lot it was like I had nothing on at all in less than an hour. I even tried spraying it on my clothes instead of my pulse points and still within an hour only a slight lemon orange zest was left. I had high hopes for this fragrance due to the gorgeous bottle and packaging but I would not buy or gift this to anyone for the price it costs and lack of staying power unless they enjoyed a light fresh scent and it was turned into a body spray.

Beautiful bottle, more of a evening scent

The bottle is beautiful, very luxurious feeling. I loved the honeycomb accent. The scent at first seems more mature, but once I wore it for ten minutes it smelled sweeter and less intense. I did only one spray on each arm and it lasted maybe 4 hours. I didn’t trigger migraines with was good!

I like it.

I really like the smell of this perfume, but I feel like it’s meant for an older woman. I still have been wearing it and I like the smell of it, but it definitely has an old smell to it

I like it a lot.

I received this product in exchange for my honest review. I really like this product but it does have an older smell. I still have been enjoying it and will wear it often.

Beautiful

This is the first time that I have actually tried anything from this brand. I am very happy with this perfume. From a first spray, you can really pick up the citrus scent but after it settles, you can get that warm vanilla layer. It is a long-lasting perfume that you don't really need to worry about touching up throughout the day. All in all I think this is a very elegant beautiful fragrance. I love the bottle itself, its beautiful.
