There is something ultimately feminine about all the Guerlain fragrances, so we weren't surprised to find this honeycombed treasure was just right. Sticky weather and all, Guerlain's Aqua Allegoria in Mandarine-Basilic has pleasant and mentally clarifying orange notes. Remember, girls it's hard to remember all our important weekend errands in hot weather--see I"m already repeating myself--and the basilic is fancy talk for "basil." Another top note singing along in this Aqua Allegoria is the delicate white peony.
The Mediterranean may be a long plane trip away; yet a splash of this can transport your to the Italian coastline and wherever you need to go at the same time.
Buy it: Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Mandarine-Basilic ($50), Sephora.

ps. Je ne sais pas why it says "advertising and publicity", etc, underneath here, but I'm on top of it, for now just literally.
