In general the Aqua Allegoria line from Guerlain is pleasant, but not overly exciting for me and Rosa Rossa is no different.
This is a super fruity take on rose. It opens almost vegetal however. There is a lot of lychee and blackcurrant, but to my nose there is a distinct rose hip tinge as well.
Rosa Rossa is on the bright side, with a strong dose of citrus and a clean soapy edge. It leans far feminine and is mostly suitable for Spring or Summer. For me this was just okay and as mentioned, I think in general this line is pleasant and well enough priced, but they have to be ‘for you’. This one isn’t necessarily doing much for me.
