Guerlains Aroma / Aqua Allegoria for my gf

Hi there,
I am thinking about getting one of these for my girlfriend as a present, but I'm not very good at checking out female fragrances, spraying them on those paper cards doesn't really help me ("Huh? Where is it?&quot, and I don't want to spray them on my hand because of the skin chemistry involved in scents.

She is 27 and likes the following ones:
Joop All About Eve
Jil Sander Sun
Betty Barclay Woman No. 2
Gaultier²

Any recommendations? Guerlain would be preferred, but I am open for other hints as well.

Unfortunately I am not quite familiar with any of those scents, except for Gautier. Nothing really points out to a specific Aqua Allegoria - so I will just give you my own recommendations:
Herba Fresca is my favourite one of all and the most original.
Gentiana is a nice and interesting floral.
Pampelune is fruity and mouthwatering pink grapefruit (unfortunately does not work on my skin though)
Lemon Fresca is really nice and fresh soapy clean citrusy.
Pivoine Magnifica and Foliflora are ok if you are into light florals, so is the Rosa Magnifica.

I think the Aroma Allegorias were discontinued though. My favouirte was the yellow one with the saffron in it. I can't remember the name as they were all quite similar (energizing, relaxing, refreshing or whatever, I can't tell the difference LOL!).

why stick to Aqua Allegoria? According to the list of fragrances your girlfriend likes, she might be L'Instant de Guerlain type...Honey,Magnolia and Amber!

Thanks!
I'll check out L'Instant also (although it reads very sweet), I just thought the A.A.-concept was nice, and wanted to see if there are any that would match her taste.
