When I was younger I didn’t care about matching fragrances to seasons, but after turning 30 I started to appreciate how scents play on the skin at different times of the year. I associate herbal and citrusy notes with early Spring, when the air is still a bit cold, but the sun is already warm and welcoming. Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Herba Fresca is that kind of fragrance – crisp, minty, and sweet; and perfectly suited for daytime wear.

I first smelled it on my Mom when she came to visit me two years ago, and she said she immediately bought it after smelling it on someone else at the store. I decided not to break the chain of enabling and immediately ordered a bottle as a special treat for my Birthday. View Post
