A new fragrant fairy tale by the house of Guerlain has been introduced

Guerlain presented over 20 versions of Aqua Allegoria with various themes inspired by citruses, flowers, herbs and spices in the last 10 years. Pleasant, beneficial and optimistic compositions of Aqua Allegoria relax all senses with their olfactive games and nuances. This collection was initialized by Jean-Paul Guerlain with a wish to illustrate poetry of natural notes and raw materials with a vivid watercolor of each composition. In addition to the new Flora Nymphéa, there are four survivors from the past: Herba Fresca, Pamplelune (both 1999), Mandarine Basilic (2007) and Tiare Mimosa (2009).

With Flora Nymphéa, for the first time ever, an Aqua Allegoria is being incarnated by a woman’s face, in the form of a nymph, ‘a goddess of Nature, whose gracefulness has turned her into a mythical figure in Art and a symbol of the Renaissance’. Guerlain’s Nymph aims to be modern, a cross between a fairy and a woman.

Advertising campaign for Aqua Allegoria, besides flowers, fruit and herbs, features a feminine character – nymph from a fairy tale, decorated with pale pink floral petals. Face of this fragrance is Ana Selezneva, who became a nymph of Guerlain's Allegoria in photos made by Paolo Roversi.
