Guerlain · Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic, Coconut Fizz & Pera Granita
There is no question that Guerlain is one of the world’s oldest and most venerable fragrance Houses, having brought us such masterpieces as Shalimar, L’Heure Bleue, and Mitsouko. Then in 1999, the brand went in another direction and launched the Aqua Allegoria range, a selection of fragrances that are meant to compliment some of their more opulent creations, but in a fun new way — and all inspired by nature, I might add.

Creed · Aventus Cologne
A few weeks ago I was invited to a media preview of Creed’s latest launch, Aventus Cologne.
