Grapefruit and bergamot open with citrus brightness, violet adding a cool, slightly powdery floral note from the start — together creating a fresh, clean opening that announces a green-floral direction without telegraphing its full destination.

By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit and bergamot open with citrus brightness, violet adding a cool, slightly powdery floral note from the start — together creating a fresh, clean opening that announces a green-floral direction without telegraphing its full destination.

Fig leaf, iris, and fig form the heart: fig leaf contributing its characteristic green, slightly milky sappiness, iris adding cool powdery depth, and fig providing a rounded, slightly jammy sweetness. The three notes together evoke a sun-warmed fig tree — leaves more prominent than fruit, the iris adding an unexpected classical refinement.

Vetiver and vanilla provide a minimal but effective base — vetiver's smoky earthiness grounding the green-floral heart, vanilla softening the dry-down. An Aqua Allegoria that earns its seasonal freshness while maintaining more complexity than the line typically delivers.
