DESCRIPTION
Herba Fresca belongs to the Aqua Allegoria collection, the first collection of intensely fresh fragrances in perfumery created in 1999.
On the strength of the Guerlain Perfumer’s expertise dating back to the legendary Eau de Cologne Impériale in 1853, the Guerlain Perfumer creates each of the Aqua Allegoria with the freshness of a Cologne and the hold of a Guerlain perfume. The guiding thread of the collection is bergamot, a precious citrus fruit, “Calabrian green gold”, a key ingredient in the Guerlinade.
Herba Fresca is a spontaneous and natural Eau de Toilette, an invitation to walk barefoot in freshly cut grass sparkling with dew.
Create your own signature by pairing Herba Fresca with:
– Bergamote Calabria
– Pera Granita
Create your own olfactory signature: select your favorite duo among recommended options and spray each Aqua Allegoria on your skin one by one in equivalent quantities.

The intelligence of a sparkling and perfectly fresh top note: citrus, rosemary, orange blossom
