Scent Journey
The first 0-30 minutes are cool and dewy: bergamot provides a bright citrus lift, cucumber adds watery green freshness, and mint gives a crisp, almost spa-like chill. The rose is present early but still wrapped in green materials.
At 1-2 hours, the heart opens: rose becomes the central floral note, violet adds a soft powdery nuance, and pear brings a juicy, slightly fruity sweetness. The composition remains fresh and transparent rather than dense.
At 4+ hours, the fragrance settles into musk, iris and a chypre accord. The finish is clean, slightly powdery and close to the skin, with the green rose fading into a soft skin scent.
Performance Dashboard
4-6 hours on skin, based on early user reports and the typical Aqua Allegoria EDT profile.
Soft to moderate; it becomes a skin scent after a few hours.
Moderate; it leaves a noticeable but not room-filling trail.

Layering Ideas
- Layer with a clean musk to extend the skin-scent drydown.
- Pair with a citrus cologne in summer for extra lift.
- Avoid layering with heavy oud or amber in heat, as it can overwhelm the green rose.
