Guerlain Grosellina & Tutti Kiwi, and a few more new perfumes for 2006

Posted by Robin on 23 December 2005 12 Comments

More on next year's Aqua Allegoria releases from Guerlain:

Grosellina is a fresh and fruity fragrance and it is housed in a white carton that provides a striking contrast with the decorative red currants on the outer. Its other notes include white tea, raspberry and sweet acacia flower. Meanwhile Tutti Kiwi has lemon, mandarin, vanilla and wood notes and the carton brandishes a picture of the kiwi fruit from which it was inspired. (via cosmeticsinternational)

In April, look for a new Shalimar Light, and as previously reported, other future releases from Guerlain include Colors of Love, Lovely Cherry Blossom Gold Sparkles, and summer versions of L'Instant. Update: see a review of Guerlain Tutti Kiwi.

The Different Company will debut a new fragrance by perfumer Celine Ellena in May. (via Women's World Daily) Update: see a review of The Different Company Sel de Vetiver.

Guerlain Aqua Allegorias: Mentafollia vs. Herba Fresca

Guerlain Aqua Allegoria fragrances

Today I am trying Guerlain’s latest addition to the Aqua Allegoria fragrance line, Mentafollia. The notes are mandarin zest, mint leaves, rose, jasmine, green tea, and cedar. I was a bit surprised to hear that Guerlain was issuing another Aqua Allegoria based on mint, citrus, florals and tea, since that basically describes Herba Fresca, but these are two very different scents — unless you dislike mint in fragrance, in which case they will probably both smell like chewing gum to you…
