Aqua Allegoria Lilia Bella (2001)
by Guerlain

I'm a huge LOTV fan, especially Guerlain's muguet. This is a nice, almost but not quite old-fashioned, fresh Muguet / lilac floral scent that sent me scouring the Internet for more lilies and more lilacs. Although I am not always "with" the aqua allegoria line, I am definitely with AA LB. There is a medicinal or moth balls note in there, which I think is actually interesting and well done. I really like it. It 's doscontinued. What else is new. If you come across one, and florals excite you, give it a try.

Lighter than Diorissimo with the added bonus of roses...Who can complain? I am so into the"garden" scents. It is so joyful...

I'm already a fan of Anisia Bella so it's no suprise my nose is happy to smell Lilia Bella too! True enough, it is predominantly lily of the valley (muguet) but it lives here in the good company of a pale rose and touch of indole. Another reviewer previously mentioned jasmine...I don't really get jasmine, but yes - the indole is there! It's the 'smells like mothballs' variety, which lends an authentic fresh garden aire to this fragrance. The entire Aqua Allegoria line is fun and very wearable by a wide range of people, and I also find they make an excellent introduction to Guerlains - and perfumery in general.

An utterly glorious green floral with notes of Lily of the Valley, Lilac, Rose, and Jasmine. I do not agree with others that say this is nothing but Lilly of the Valley at all. To me, the Lilac and Rose are much more evident throughout the middle and base than the Lily of the Valley is. . . and the Rose base is simply marvelous. The Jasmine is intermingled so nicely that it only peeps out in little wisps throughout - very nice. Longevity is also good on this one - lasting around 6 -7 hours.

Agreed with lilypaddles, this frag is a straight-forward Lily of the Valley. Personally, the frag is jez way, way too green and sweet. I was so happy to try at first, and driven by my excitement, I had nearly 3 to 5 spritz of the frag, feel 'freshly' good at first but later it made me feel dizzy and realized how strong the frag is. Longevity is superb.

This scent is heavenly for anyone who loves out-and-out florals. There are times when I find it too sweet, but other times when it's just what I need. I tend to wear it only in spring and summer.
