So I wore this from a sample, last week - several times.
It reminded me initially, of honeysuckle. Vividly, as if you're sucking on a flower, in a garden, with pollen and bees swirling all around me. Then there's this fascinating half-note of orange blossom...kind of like what JC Ellena did with lavender in his Hermessence Brin de Reglisse...it's as if the orange blossom has been split in half and I could only smell a segment of it. Really neat. Not indolic at all, very fresh and slightly fizzy. Like orange blossom soda, if there was such a thing. Eventually I could smell the honey, but it's a very subtle honey accord...not urinous at all.
Longevity is abysmal, but then that's the nature of most of the 'modern' AA scents.
I am considering a bottle of this, when I see it discounted. For now, I'd love to hear from others who've smelled it.
Oh and BTW Guerlain actually made a short animated film about the scent, which is very cute (and very French). You can see it here: http://www.aqua-allegoria.com/aqua-allegoria.html
