The Allegoria fragrance collection celebrates the wonders of the world. Each creation pays tribute to nature's beauty and sweeps us up in a discovery of exceptional raw ingredients and notes, beautifully enhanced by our perfumer-explorers. Discover Épices Exquises, an evocation of an enchanting sensory journey. Inspired by the spicy aromas of cardamom-flavoured coffee, Thierry Wasser beautifully enhances the contrasts of precious spices in a fragrant chiaroscuro that awakens the senses. Cardamom reveals the exhilarating elegance of its fresh facets on contact with a warm, full-bodied and sensual base, tinged with black pepper and woody notes of oud, patchouli and sandalwood. With Épices Exquises I wanted to retranscribe the surprising scent of the irresistibly spicy cardamom coffee I'm given every time I visit the Middle East. This coffee's unique blend of spices fills my memory with deliciously contrasting sensations: at the top, fresh accents of cardamom mingle with a warm, peppery, sensual base. It's an intoxicating fragrance.” - Thierry Wasser, Guerlain Master Perfumer Absolus Allegoria, the absolute fragrance collection, is an enchanting and mysterious journey to the heart of the world's wonders once night falls: fragrance trails celebrating deep and powerful nature, revealed by striking contrasts by moonlight.
