Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic is a citrus fragrance from the French house Guerlain, composed by Marie Salamagne and released in 2007. Citrus leads, with green and floral sides close behind and lighter woody, herbal and amber touches.

Clementine and bitter orange open with a bright, juicy citrus, while ivy and green tea add a cool, leafy freshness and orange blossom a soft floral note. The heart brings mandarin and basil, a fresh pairing of sweet fruit and green herb, softened by peony and chamomile. In the base, amber and sandalwood give a gentle, warm finish.

Wearers report weak to moderate longevity and moderate or intimate sillage, so it is a light scent. It is voted for summer and spring and almost entirely for daytime. It suits hot days, holidays and the office, and someone who likes a fresh, green citrus that feels natural.
