Frequently asked

About Aqua Allegoria Bergamotto Calabria

Aqua Allegoria Bergamotto Calabria performs best primarily in warmer months when its character comes alive in heat. Its citrus / chypre character and close sillage make it well suited for daytime occasions. Because it stays close to skin and reads as intimate rather than projecting outward, you can calibrate your application to the setting. Starting with two sprays on pulse points and adjusting from there is a reliable approach.
