Series Aqua Allegoria we ride this year with its two latest launches in shades of purple and green, decorated with an iris between a fig on one side, and the licorice dressed in his laurel wreath on the other. If the first, Iris Fig, olfactively is consistent with what we can expect (a powdered green fig and without euphoria or disappointment), the second in mid-aromatic recipe mid-greedy, like a yogurt Grandmamma cross with the last recipe Mediterranean Reflets de France, failed in its composition. In my case, rather on the wrong track.
The summer collection has over the years reserved for irregular surprises, good and bad, and after an Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic quite successful last year that the Laurier Licorice cooked leaves me rather unmoved.
A great starting grapefruit, green, fruity, almost watery, very synthetic, reminds me more of a shampoo or shower gel a Guerlain perfume. Licorice is slowly, but again, it is closer to the roll of licorice flavored and sweet as the stick too woody and aniseed. Finally, a fruity and fresh water, where the finest materials, crushed by too many redundant, are struggling to make itself felt. Acqua Allegoria Laurier Licorice would have lost in my opinion, if there's competition from licorice 2008, far behind 'far more delicate licorice Brin of Hermes.
