Reviews of Aqua Allegoria Anisia Bella ![]() Sarahsaurus AustraliaShow all reviews | Having liked Lolita Lempicka, I bought this on the basis of the promise of anise-- and I sincerely regret it. It smells of liquorice allsorts with a malevolent strength and barb to it, with a sickly sweet and soapy undertone added almost, it would seem, as an afterthought. 28th January, 2012. |
| magali IrelandShow all reviews | Funnily enough I hate Pastis and you would never find me eating Liquorice Allsorts and yet I love this AA. There is no denying it is based on anise but not in a sickly way. It's fresh but you can smell something darker and more substantial lurking in the background. I'd say definitely unisex. I'm bringing this one to the South of France on holidays- I think it will be perfect for it! 5th June, 2011. |
| jtd United StatesShow all reviews | The perfumer having been let out of the closet, so to speak, allows perfume hobbyists and enthusiasts to focus on particular perfumers. Cellier, Roudnitska, Robert, Chant. We’re codifying the history of our obsession, giving credit, and indulging in the fascination of exploring the work of artist whose work has meaning for us. I think the precedent here is cinema, and its move from the focus on the studio and producer to the director. ‘Art film’ of the 1950s-1960s (Kurasowa, Truffault) could be likened to early niche perfumery (Laporte, Lutens [not a nose, but an art director.]) 1970s-1980s and onward is where mainstream American film highlighted the director as auteur (Scorsese, Campion, Lee, the Coppolas.) I suppose the comparisons here would be Ellena, Grosjman, Menardo, Kurkdjian, Duchaufour. (Sorry, very broad strokes here. I’ve never studied film.) Whether the perfume/film analogy holds, and for better or worse, the perfumer as auteur is our current paradigm. 22nd May, 2011. (Last Edited: 14th July, 2011.) |

Long lasting, interesting from start to finish. This is a complex & compelling fragrance. 19th March, 2010. |
| Buzzlepuff United StatesShow all reviews | This Guerlain lightweight spray is a sunny light eau de cologne of grapefruit, jasmine and anise. It is a light, watery but tart grapefruit spritzer with a hint of anise for a fresh uplfiting splash anytime you need a lift. It improves with frequent and/or heavier application. The anise adds a bit of herbal minty character to this otherwise simple grapefruit/floral EDC. Fresh and nice especially if you like anise - I do. 21st July, 2009. |
![]() AnonymousNose United StatesShow all reviews | My favorite of the Aqua Allegoria's. I usually prefer parfums and pure perfume to colognes, but this is great when I want something to freshen up with. Anisia Bella is liqourice note as a skin scent, slightly herbal, with a tinge of delicate florals like little violets.Feminine but earthy and sporty, with good lasting power considering that it's a cologne and such a light scent at that. 24th January, 2009. |
