50 Word Review: Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Herba Fresca

Herba Fresca promises all of my most precious summer memories with a kiss of lemon, and delivers them in a dewy bundle. A  faint but clear detergent note disrupts the reverie. Mint, familiar cut greens (chicory? alfalfa?), and newly blossomed lily of the valley turn from a crisp dream into a spring day’s drying rack full of clean white dishes. At the sixth hour, I need to rinse them.

Gender: Rolled up shirtsleeves
Listed Notes: Clover, lemon, mint, green tea, lily of the valley, cyclamen, pear flower
Sillage and longevity: Quiet, 15 minutes of green and hours of soap
Deadringers: A bag of groceries from the farmers’ market, natural dish soaps
