Description

The Aqua Allegoria for 2016, coming out in February, is called Pera Granita, translating to pear sorbet. The idea is a clear and bright impression of a summer treat.

The fruity floral fragrance, coming in a light pink hued presentation, is focused on the following fragrant notes:

Top notes of grapefruit, bergamot, lemon;
Heart notes of orange blossom, osmanthus, pear;
Base notes of moss, white musk and cedarwood.

Available in the standard Aqua Allegoria bottle, with 100ml/3.3 fl.oz in eau de toilette concentration, and the familiar bee embossed on the cap.
The nose behind this fragrance is Thierry Wasser.

    Just starting my own little collection of scents. I just received a bottle of this. I now have 3 Aqua Allegoria’s and so far this is my favorite among them. I’m a sucker for fruity scents. This is sweet citrus and pear juice in a bottle. I feel happy sniffing it, but I would imagine not wearing it everyday. It’s not as fresh as the other two Allegoria’s I own: Herba Fresca and Flora Rosa. Perhaps some layering would work as a go-to. I’m in love.

    Some of my very favourite summer perfumes are Aqua Allegorias, and so I’m always glad at the chance of testing a new one, even if I haven’t fallen in love with any of them since 2014’s Limon Verde. Unfortunately, Pera Granita is no exception: it’s a nice, well-made fruity floral, fresh and just sweet enough, and certainly perfectly suited to a warm summer day like today, but there’s nothing special about it. The pear note is dominant to my nose, and it’s pleasant enough but just a touch synthetic. Longevity and projection are moderate at best. All in all, I don’t dislike this scent by any means, but I’m definitely not especially enthusiastic about it either. Worth a try if you’re particularly looking for a pear scent, but of little interest otherwise, I’d say. Too bad!

    I quite like Pera Granita. It’s ok, nicely sweet, unfortunately longevity is poor…
    However the longevity is boosted till half the day when layered under Nerolia Bianca (also an Aqua Allegoria)
    I’m addicted to this combo, it’s smells heavenly.

    Fresh and young. After the first grapefruit blast in your face, the scent becomes gentle and little bit sweet, but not sugary. I feel so, so refreshed wearing this one.

    To me this is more sweet citrusy than it is pear, although I do get pear after a good dry down. It makes for a wonderful light summer scent and I’ve been told I taste delicious while wearing it.

    Pera Granita might not completely scream pear sorbet to me, but I do kind of like it all the same.
    I sit in Melbourne on the steps of an old post office, on a Spring morning at 10am and have gotten two compliments. I’d compliment someone if they were wearing it. It’s quite pretty. The grapefruit at the start is quite screechy at the start; but it dries down to a nice pear / jasmjnr type of scent. Try it, you may be surprised.

    Disappointing, boring, lacklustre Grapefruit, Pear.
    Pretty bottle though.

    My least favorite from the AA series. An unpleasant chemical rendition of what is supposed to be pear.

    I’ve tested some of these Aqua Allegoria scents and admired the bottles, wanting to find my true love among these.
    This is it! I love pear in perfumes and in Pera Granita pear is combined with citrus fruit, and that creates a soft and yet fresh aroma.
    I could swim in this..
    This is a very happy scent, a mood lifter.This will be my spring and summer scent.

    Picked this up a few days ago, and even if it’s winter, and this is very much a summer fragrance I really like it. Can’t wait for summer try it in hot weather. It reminds med a bit of Chanel Chance Eau Tendre, but a bit more citrusy. Fresh and summery, but still a bit more grown up than some other similar scents.

    very fresh yet elegant perfume especially in hot weathers . it’s perfect during summer days .I liked it sooooo much and recommend it . Unfortunately it doesn’t come as a perfume only toilet so you must spray it all the time.

    I LOVE this scent! Yesterday I tried it in a store along with several other Aqua Allegoria EDTs and this one I really, really like. But the price… 75ml for $72… seemed too high to me.

    A nice realistic pear note in the top notes, but it fades quickly into mainly a floral grapefruit. I like the orange blossom note– it’s similar to the orange blossom note in AA Nerolia Bianca, but it’s less overpowering here, in Pera Granita. The grapefruit is stronger than the orange blossom. The dry down is very similar to the dry down of AA Mandarine Basilic, a woody citric scent, and somehow, somewhere in the heart notes it reminds me of AA Flora Rosa (despite NO shared notes?!). Anyway, I really enjoy it, but I bought it without testing first and honestly would not have bought a full bottle if I had, since I own Nerolia Bianca, Mandarine Basilic, and Flora Rosa. I do appreciate the grapefruit note (though that even calls to mind Hermes Jour d’Hermes or Dior Addict Eau Fraiche) and I don’t have another Aqua Allegoria with grapefruit so it can stay in the Aqua Allegoria collection for now.
    All in all, as you can see from all the references to other perfumes above, this is not terribly unique. It smells really, really good, and has great longevity and sillage, though, so if taking several other Aqua Allegorias and mashing them together sounds good to you–you’ll love this one. 🙂

    Even though I don’t hate it, I partly agree with you @cassiemand.
    I got a sample of this perfume and I think it’s nothing glorious or special, because in a way it ended “disturbing” me. The pear is the protagonist alongside the citrus notes, it’s a sweet citrus (not a citric citrus) with a pleasant opening…but at a certain point Pera Granita started to become more and more subtly insistent, kind of insistent to my nostrils. Personally, I never ever thought that one day I’d say an aqua allegoria can bother me because they are very light and airy. This is still airy and sparkling, but at the same time has something different from the others. More synthetic maybe? I don’t know…what I know, though, is that I still haven’t found an Aqua that can beat Herba Fresca.

    I tested this out yesterday and at first it smelt delicious – fruity and sweet, but still fresh. After less than an hour it was making me feel nauseous….. The Bergamot and cedar had come out to play and it was intense, bitter and cloying!
    If you like Bergamont then you’ll be fine, but I HATE it so I found this perfume extremely disappointing. I couldn’t get rid of the smell until I showered the next day (I washed it with dish soap the night before!) which I guess means it has quite impressive staying power, even if the smell that lasts is nothing like the initial pear-filled fruity joy!

    I like this one – a pleasant, yummy, fruity, sorbert-like smell. However I find it quite uninspired, I just have the feeling I probably smelled it a hundred times before. I can’t find any particular trait that would justify the price or differentiate it from most of other fruity-florals on the market. Nothing bad but nothing remarkable as well.

    Okay. Let me start by saying I HATE citrus based scents with a passion. I cannot stand the bitterness and sourness they create. EUGHH. BUT today I ventured into my local department store and was welcomed by a shop assistant who exclaimed “you need to try this new release! I’ve been smelling and spraying it all day!” I thought why not and she sent me on my way with a tester.
    I sprayed this without having the slightest clue of the notes. If I had seen this is loaded with citrus I would have run out of the shop. This scent is grapefruit and lemon with a tiny hint of orange blossom. Usually I would see this and gag but oh my gosh this is beautiful. It is 100% citrus but with a fruity floral accord within which stops the bitterness and sourness forming. All I experience with Aqua Allegoria Pera is a pure citrus floral I can imagine as my summer signature scent, this is the visual of a picnic surrounded by water and blossoming flowers. I’m impressed and just purchased a full bottle but I still hate citruses haha, this is just an incredibly well done composition of it.

    This is truly lovely, I got a sample with a purchase I made and used it all in one go.A perfect citrus slightly sweet fragrance great for spring and summer.
    It’s rather light so one needs to re apply during the day.I especially love the freshness of the pear and the musky dry down A great Aqua Allegoria

    Light and fresh, grapefruit scent with a bit of lemon, pear, orange blossom, subtle musk and green wave of moss. The whole composition is full of harmony and tranquility. I’ve loved it at the first sniff! 🙂
    Update: I can tell you that it smells greatly on a skin, like a soft citrus, all the time. I can feel like I was in a blooming orchard. Just lovely!

    It’s fruity.bright.juicy and for my taste way too loud and sour:(((.I can feel pomegranate , cranberries and musc.
    On my skin it was at first some kind of pomegranate sorbet and after short time just turned to cat pee.not like old cat pee , like it happened with “pompellune ” ,but also not pleasant :).
    Sad ,cause it just chemistry of skin and I so wanted some fruity watery new edt..

    It’s like Guerlain took all of my favourite notes and combined them harmoniously in one bottle! I love osmanthus, pear and citrus. This is fruity, fresh and enthusiastically tangy! It’s energizing and perfect for summer. This is divine.

    Pear sorbet describes it perfectly.
    I like that, it’s so light and natural smelling, but an elegant scent as well, a product of quality.
    Most of the perfumes from that line are outstanding.
    It’s very pleasant to smell, summery, sweet and fruity, almost sunny fragrance.

    Finally it has arrived!! The Pera and the travellers exclusive Rosa pop. Pera Granita is my favorite of them both by far. I didn´t know the notes when i have tested it, so based on the smell only i imagined it to smell almost exactly like a pomegranate. I guess, looking at the notes now, it is the grapefruit and lemon and orange blossom combined all together. I did smell a bit of something soft and i guess it is a mix of osmanthus and pear, but what i like about it is that they are not dominant and not overwhelming. Not sweet at all and not like a pear note in a most of latest fragrances i have smelled.
    It lacks sadly the longevity and good projection, but i like it anyway. It is still snowing here where i live and the weather is chilly, so i guess this fragrance needs a different type of climate or weather. Still will be getting this one, since it is YUMMY!
    Update (june 2016): after wearing it several times full time i have made a decision that i do not like it that much in the summertime as i liked it back then in the winter. In the heat pear becomes too dominating and sweet, almost unbearable to me. Too chemical to my nose.
