Lime zest and figs! All the other notes play supportive roles to bring out different facets of lime and figs, to make them more realistic. Figs have a creaminess nature and can be mistaken as coconut.
Soft and gentle, like splashes of sunlight peaking through shivering shadow of leaves and branches casted on windows in the evening, like a whisper, like a reverie.
nik131291 – :
this is basically lime and greens with a hint of floral. Its very pleasant and refreshing, and my coworker said it smells unisex. But lasting power is awful and it lays very close to the skin so hardly anyone around you can smell it.
To me, this is something you wear out of the shower or something, maybe on very hot humid day. But I don’t see using it in any other situations
valerait – :
I am getting a tart, light lemon, cucumber, lime. In that order. There is no sweetness at all & does npot smell like Creed’s VIW. Ive owned several bottles of that over the yrs. Not even close.
domakostroma – :
Extremely icy fresh lemon-lime scent that stays on the skin for about half an hour provided I overspray it, big time!
gio_kiborg – :
I recently chose a promotion from Sephora that gave me three Aqua Allegoria samples: Limon Verde, Mandarine Basilic, and Pamplelune. Limon Verde was the one I was most excited about, since lime goes very well on my skin, and I like figs. Well, I’ve been wearing this for about an hour, and while I’m getting my lime, it’s a small dose. I’m getting hardly any fruit besides lime, and no figs or sugar – yet. What this scent is on me, mainly, is a forest in the rain. Dew drops on grass. It’s not quite Atelier’s “Cedre Atlas,” in that it doesn’t remind me of camping or hiking (it’s not a green overdose), but Limon Verde is incredibly refreshing – almost a “palate clenser,” if you will, for fragrances. Definitely a unisex offering from Guerlain (whereas I considered Pamplelune definitely feminine).
vee2003 – :
This is really nice and my favourite from the Acqua Allegoria line by Guerlain. It REALLY smells like Creed’s Virgin Island Water. In fact the difference is extremely minimal. So yes, it smells of strong lime and coconut with rum in the background to my nose. The lime in this is tart yet sweet, like a key lime, and the lime note surprisingly lasts throughout the fragrance’s duration – at least my nose perceives it that way. Longevity is surprisingly good on my skin, going for 3 hours with good projection, and over 6 hours of longevity overall as a skin scent. It leans a bit more feminine than Virgin Island Water (or its clone Gorse by Laboratory Perfumes, which is just as good).
4/5
passadelikilsafa – :
A lovely fresh and simple perfume, but extremely weak!
I can only smell it when I apply it 🙁
willowbush – :
Sweet tropical fig with a bright citrus start. I wouldn’t wear this on a hot humid day as it might get too heavy. Very pleasant in the drydown but doesn’t last very long, not on skin, neither on fabric. Glad I was able to get my hands on it as I got a bit too tired of my other more standard citrusy Eau fraîches.
mlm807speagoessenda – :
This should have been named Fico Verde. It was the first thing to struck me upon first spray. I was completely unprepared for it: I was expecting sour citric scent, but instead there was this woody fig. Now that I can see the pyramid, I am amazed that the fig is not voted as an even more pronounced note here.
And there is also something strong woody, powdery dry, a bit masculine even (or just dusty, if you will). I suppose it could be vetiver.
Anyways, after my first surprise allowed me to be less shocked, I actually really started enjoying that unexpected fig tree shade (Mediterranean people know exactly what it smells like around a fig tree in the summer heat). It reminded me a lot of Philosykos, only in a more playful, or even naive way. I think I could make it my staple “happy summer cologne” now, instead of I Love Love. There’s also the Traveller’s edition, which looks lovely, while the very scent probably remains the same.
Update a week later: I took the lime slice from the rim of my mojito glass and squeezed it between my palms, just for fun and refreshment. Oh boy – when I smelled my palms that was it: Limon Verde. Equally sweet and even woody citrus. Just like I smeared some fig and coco between my palms as well… I’m in awe. I am completely amazed by that scent and that fragrance. I think I am starting to obsess over it.
lon370InsuffBooni – :
i am not a Guerlain girl, never been, though i tried many many times with so many different scents, but never had any luck. i do like this one unexpecetdly, i like it a lot, very pretty mellow subtle summer scent. it smells like summer here – green grass, a bit of dust, and, to me, lots of fig. not that we have figs here, it is such a rare luxury, but i happen to like both to eat and to smell figs.
Limon Verde is such a pretty summer in the bottle – the real summer + some imaginable summer.
longevity is not so good, it lasts a few hours and then subtly but surely dissapears, but you can always reapply, since it is so subtle to begin with. sillage is soft and close to skin, which i like.
Bios814 – :
One of those delightful summer nights in a bottle, you know, when it’s such a sin to go inside the house and it’s so much cosier to stay on the terrace with a soft cardigan over your shoulders. A summer night that you could not imagine without mojito.
Limon Verde is the mojito of the Aqua Allegoria line.
The sugary sweetness can be a little much; in our house we love to combine it with Herba Fresca to give it more body.
Strange though, i would have almost sworn I detect some cardamom, but it must be the Tonka in combination with the other ingredients..
landrb – :
Piss-poor performance, but MAN that smell, though! Gorgeous, refreshing, aromatic limeade to cool you off on a hot summer day.
silsbrefeasse – :
I echo the praise for another Guerlain gem from the Aqua Allegoria line.
I agree with the other comments that say Limon Verde should be considered a body spray. It is refreshing on a warm day, and I would happily repurchase it again as long as I can still find a new bottle for around $30…. and I can off fragrancenet.
I also like that I can easily switch to an evening summer scent with no worries of scent carryover.
EDIT: after wearing this for a few days, it’s elevated to one of my favorite from the Aqua Allegoria line, right behind Lys Soleia and ahead of Herba Fresca. It quickly becomes a personal scent, so don’t expect a lot of compliments. There’s a fizzy herbal element that’s hard to describe but that seems to last a long time. I can pick it up hours later. Moved up to a “love” from me.
Geaboobittavy – :
Like denise02117, I use this as a body spray and nothing else. Perfect after showers on hot days. Makes you feel revitalized from the burst of lime freshness.
trifusz – :
A refreshing lime AND FIG centric scent; with a ‘slight’ touch of sweetness. Very nicely done!
Lovely worn on its own, but very good layered with Creed Virgin Island Water.
vovan-dgm – :
I do like this for spring/summer but would likely not repurchase based on longevity. On me it reminds me of the drink caipiroska al limone…limey and sugary. The pity is that is lasts maybe 2 hours on my skin before disappearing. It’s a great “body spray” for me, refreshing and summery but the quality hardly justifies the price.
wergard – :
Really wished it was more lime centric; but it’s much more of a cumcumberish green notes and sweet figs cologne. Lasted a long time on me but most scents do. I have several fig scents such as Philosykos, Premier Figuier; Jardin a Mediterranne but no lime ones; a pity.
Olychechka – :
Guerlain might not have developed the Aqua Allegoria line to everyone’s liking, but Limon Verde may be an exception. I bought this fragrance as a blind buy and ended up really liking it. This one is one of my favorites in my 300+ collection, however not the best one in my collection either. It is very fresh and slightly sweet. A spring and summer fragrance. This fragrance is unisex, but tends to lean more towards the feminine side. Starts out with a lot of citrus and then develops into a more sweet fragrance, thanks to the fig and sugar cane. However it does not overpower the overall freshness of the lime. A very good fragrance overall, but may be a bit too feminine for some men. For women, this is a perfect fresh fragrance for the summer. I would recommend it for anyone looking for a more unique summer fragrance.
Kapralove – :
Going through my third bottle. Absolutely love this!!! Wears better in the winter for some strange reason, in summer it can get very heavy, at least on me.
Kartofan – :
Fresh cut hay with a lime twist. I like it, but it’s def not a safe citrus blind buy. The hay note (is that the fig?) could be off putting if you’re looking for a straight citrus vibe.
Ciccoppynix – :
Very Grassy opening with lemon and zesty peals, then after a minute the fig starting to ripe with a help of little bit of white sugar. I get only a hint of tropical fruits with its happy vibe and tonka is undistinguished somewhere in the sweetness.
And that is how it stays – sweet figs, grassy and lemony – even in the drydown. The notes are super natural, nothing smells synthetic here.
Its a light white cloud in the middle of a clear blue sky. A little song by a creek on hot summer day, absolutely wonderful!
I rock it on our hot and humid summer. Its my summer signature.
I prefer it by far over men summer scents, even more then Dior Sport (which i like very much).
Yes the longevity is short, 2 hours on my skin. Projection is for the first 1.5 hours, and it has light silage – sometimes lemony and some times figs. Very playful.
I always reapply after 2-3 hours with about 5-6 sprays, the atomizer diffuse the liquid very light and wide like a cloud which gives very refreshing feeling.
The more I reapply the better the performance so the fragrance very versatile for usage.
Also on the hair and clothes the scent stays very long so i recommend to spray there for intensity.
Aqua Allegoria is so precised naming – it’s a splash of scented water for refreshment.
I discoverer this scent when i was looking for a present for my selective sister so i was looking something very light and summery, not something that obligate for something 🙂 In the end i took two bottles, one for me and one for her.
Tried herbal fresca from the line and im thinking to get that. Also tried mandarin basilic witch i smelled in the other fragrances many times so i wasn’t so impressed, though it smelled good. Of course i’m intrigued so i wish i could sample the other scents in this line.
Bravo Aqua Allegoria!
Dr-Hack – :
I am on my second bottle now. I got a tester for like $26.00 on eBay.
Even though longevity is not long at all– I love this juice.
It’s so fresh and realistic YET dry and hazy. It instantly puts you in a good mood to used this–the first blast in pretty incredible — as if you just cut a lime in half to make a cocktail .
LIME is not easy to do well in a cologne but Guerlain did it well . So even if you use this as a “Jean Nate” after a bath– SO BE IT!
Wonderful in hot summer weather too!
If you love LIME –this is for you!
romans31 – :
lasts all of half an hour. Absolutely unacceptable from Guerlain.
yrra – :
Beautiful, summery, fresh, lime!!! A lovely perfume. Really super! Green, gorgeous tropical fruit, with lovely almondy tonka beans; a terrific, refreshing, sparkling fragrance. Perfect for making you feel carefree and bubbly. Happiness in a bottle!
Дориан – :
Limon Verde is a juicy green lime scent which contrasts transparent watery lightness with the softly blurred depth of tonka. The lime is allowed to sing almost on its own here, without being paired with mint, as in Thierry Wasser’s L’eau Boisee, or synthetic musk, as in Cristalle Eau Vert. It’s fresh and very green, but perhaps not captivating enough to hold attention. Still, it’s worth a try if softly sparkling contemporary citruses are your thing.
denismay2010 – :
this is in my top 5 of scents. a lovely soft lemon/lime fragrance. absolutely fabulous for spring and summer. very refreshing and bubbly but not in a loud way at all. i personally am glad there is no mint in this, imo it’s perfect just the way it is. lasting time is moderate.
qazplmktlbe – :
This is one of my summer scents on rotation along with AA Neroli Blanca, NEST Verde and the usual suspect D&G Light Blue. Very green and has a cooling effect. Borderline performance, for something that comes from Guerlain the AA line needs to improve.The bottles are to die for albeit the gold component is painted plastic. Still I’ll check every offering as they have new ones every year.
ilsurgazizov – :
It’s a crisp and ultra fresh lemony fragrance that stays close to the skin. At the beginning it feels masculine, but when the strong lime fades away, the feminine side states its presence. Lasts for about 5-6 hours.
ernur_2014 – :
The best sports fragrance. This is what I was looking for a long time..
100/10 😀
edit: It´s better to wear this fragrance in spring, because in hot summer it becomes too sharpness and is much more masculine then in colder wheather.
sasgov – :
I bought the Xmas set (in early Oct, I know, just for me) which included a 125mL bottle of Limon Verde, a 7.5mL mini of Limon Verde, a 7.5mL mini of Pera Granita and a rather lovely makeup bag. Am not sorry, I love this fragrance to bits.
This is the perfect lime. I and have a soft spot for lime… maybe it’s all those Thai salads, or nights of sipping mojitos? In my opinion, Aerin Lauder’s Waterlily Sun smells like a lime fragrance (although there is no lime), and is well done. But the asking price is too high. Similarly, Tom Ford’s lime offering is a sophisticated, superior interpretation on this very interesting fruit. But honestly, who’s going to pay $400 a bottle of overpriced ego marketing? Certainly not me. Then I tried the Guerlain bottle, and there was an instant merging of souls. It was pleasurably sharp, in a key lime way, being tangy and slightly astringent. It was also green, like the grass and trees of the French countryside. It was also sweet, warm and rounded – not really like sugar cane or tonka bean – but more like giving balance to the whole composition. According to taste, it was my favourite out of the bunch. It was also the cheapest – just over $100. The silage is great for about 15 min, then it can only be smelled up in occasional wafts and in close proximity. For a Guerlain, this is abismal. But for mainstream perfume, this average for an EDT. Longevity is good though, 9hrs +
evaya – :
I get an immediate fresh burst of lime. So clean and bright. Then softer fruit. Great to wear in the morning or to perk yourself up mid afternoon. I have had customers at work ask me for the name of this scent they like it so much. ( I work in a food shop) Doesn’t last all that long sadly. So just spritz on some more. I love it.
floatitle – :
A light fresh Lime / green scent tempered with a touch of suger and tropical fruits. the fragrance is refreshing on a hot day or anytime you want a scent burst. the Longevity isn’t huge and the silage not massive and it leaves you smelling clean and fresh rather than musky or spicy.
A go to Summer Splash.
pasha22 – :
Sugary lime tonka bliss. Interesting that in my quest for a clean scent, I turn away from true greens like Herba Fresca because they’re too androgynous and not enchanting enough for me. I end up picking more fruity greens. Oh dear!
Aside from the yummy lime, the fig and tonka add a sultry dimension that likely sits quite well on the skin (I have yet to try it!). Ahh Thierry Wasser, you rarely disappoint.
I have yet to find an Aqua Allegoria that sucks. Underrated. Pick with your eyes closed and you’ll have something you can wear and not regret.

Hello from Decodawn. THE PERFECT TRAVEL FRAGRANCE
Limon Verde is a crisp fresh citrus fragrance, energising and reviving. Sophisticated and playful. Light and sheer and Perfect for the warmer weather when richer perfumes are overwhelming. It transports it’s wearer to a perfect beach with the sea and boats in the background and children paddling in the waves. Boots are currently selling 75ml bottle for £33 normally £47.00 16/8/2016. I purchased two bottles today, go grab yourselves a bargain.
Grooroflunk – :
The Aqua Allegoria range need to be understood and accepted on their own terms – a water allegory, a suggestion of something. If you can deal with this then there are many choices and I would be surprised if you couldn’t find one to your liking, albeit with the caveat that quite a lot of them have been discontinued.
AA Limon Verde seems the natural successor to the discontinued Lemon Fresca. Lemon Fresca is a little sweeter whereas Limon Verde is a little rounder. It’s one of those nice citrus aromatics which are fresh and zingy, this time with lime as the dominant note, and rather suitable for a lovely summer’s day. It’s no coincidence that it came out the same year as L’Homme Eau Boisee – Thierry Wasser was obviously spending a lot of time with limes in the laboratory at this point. AA Limon Verde feels like a cologne except it feels much stronger when you first apply it but that’s the lime talking. I’m not exactly sure where the sugar cane or the tonka are in here but I can smell the rest of the notes at various stages.
I find AA Limon Verde lasts about six hours so you can refresh it or step into something else later on in the day. It’s moderate in its sillage for a couple of hours then it becomes a skin scent. It opens with the burst of lime supported by vague green notes and tropical fruit. Gradually the lime settles down a little and forms a harmonic trio with the green and tropical notes and then there’s a hint of fig somewhere. I’d say it is unisex but slightly more feminine than masculine, I think because of the tropical fruit.
I often wear something light and bright to bed to smell clean and fresh and the Aqua Allegoria line often fit the bill for me in this respect.
SSDF – :
Sweet lime, mojito, sour taste not sour smell, settles into a subtler green scent, not at all powdery, incredibly beautiful…. So lovely and bright. If bright happiness had a smell this would be it.
PPKyqlje – :
Got a great deal on a blind buy, so I went for it–and am really pleased. I get the sharpest, most realistic lime zest I’ve ever experienced in a fragrance over freshly cut hay. No other notes for me and definitely not sweet.
cntgf777 – :
I bought a sample of this as a part of an AA sample quartet, and quite forgot about it.
Today I felt like using something refreshing, and the name seemed promising so I gave it a try.
A hidden jem.
I love citruses and they smell great on my skin, so technically this was a safe venture, but I never expected this scent to be so beautiful.
It’s very fresh,but there’s something almost yummy about it. Somehow, it reminds me of a little tropical petit four. I think that the combination of tonka bean, sugar cane and probably fig (a note I’m not too fond of, and luckily can’t smell it on my skin with this scent) give it a bit of a pastry vibe, and it’s really, really good.
Unlike many of the appreciators here, on my skin this perfume goes “in reverse” – from sweet pastry citrus into a more citrusy, less sweet scent as time goes by.
A total summer scent, but one that combines freshness with a mild sweetness. Unisex IMO, and totally FB worth. Love!
artemiev – :
Just got this (FB) the price was right, and I was thinking of the hubby when I bought it. Well I was right about the hubby. For all it’s sweetness it still rings masculine to me. I like it very much and will probably layer it. It is a sweet lime-ade slushy with an aftershave vibe. Sexy on a preppy guy.
ЮРЧАНДАЙЗЕР – :
Zingy, Zesty fresh and revitalizing. A citrus that smells expensive and classic. It is well put together and has very good sillage in my opinion. Not the most mysterious scent but definitely available for everyday wear it is clean and energizing. I like this one
spirin.alesha2012 – :
This spring I decided to compromise with regard to my never-ending holy grail search for the perfect green and allow at least a green-colored citrus into the mix, and I am elated with that decision and this fragrance.
In my entire life I’ve never once been disappointed by a Guerlain and this is no exception. Limon Verde opens sweet lime (The Darjeeling Limited, anyone?) then on my skin almost immediately warms and allows the herbs and fig to bloom and crack open respectively, sending an edible signal to the nose BUT never promising it’s anything but a well-blended perfume.
And because it’s so fresh yet grounded it will be a go-to through the whole summer.
kotenko34 – :
Correction: tokyo milk Marine sel reminds me of the dry down base notes of this perfume, not Sea Sel
berkutvitalik – :
This has dominance of a peppery green scent overall with astrigent aquatic notes over all. The opening has a lime peel sweet greenery smell that opens to a lime peel peppery green and the rest is the peppery green astrigent aquatic smell. I really like it, its unique and definitly unisex, i would say leaning masculine though some say femme, dont agree at all. Perhaps on first spray the slight sweet lime peel gives that impression but for anyone who lives in this for a day, that part is short and…sweet. I have smelled citrusy mens sport scents from major perfumers who’s smell waaaaay more femme than this.
This perfume’s middle to end life reminds me a lot of Tokyo Milk Sea Sel though Sea Sel has none of the lime, it smells almost exactly like the main base of Limon verde…green and weirdly dry peppery and astringent aquatic.
Limon verde has a clean yet dirty smell, like a day in the beach water with a zest of lime. This smell makes me feel refreshing and avante-garde.
Gazmyas – :
OH SWEET JESUS !
My BEST Blind Buy of the new year (2016)!
I always was a Guerlain fan….and now I’m a BIG Guerlain fan because of this one!
This is a green grassy Lime.
It has a hazy soft summery hint of HAY to it.
Yes- I said HAY.
Hay in a GOOD WAY! 100% natural smelling oozing organics!
This is not a “juicy” lime –it’s quite DRY — which is pretty unique as well.
I was giddy just sniffing this as I walked back from my P.O. Box after this arrived today!
This juice can be prescribed by a doctor as an anti-depressant !!
Longevity is modest but that’s OK because this is not terribly expensive (I think my 4.2 oz bottle was around $40.00 or a bit more?)
My highest rating of:
PNDT: Please never discontinue this !
and
ATABABUB: Already thinking about buying a back up bottle (and I just got this 15 minutes ago!)
This is JOY JUICE deluxe!
lomshoole – :
La nota di lime è la più forte e la più intensa; seguono poi le note verdi e quella di fico infine, con meno intensità si avvertono le note fruttate, le zollette di zucchero e la fava tonka. Profumo gradevole, fresco perfetto per un’estate torrida!
Sillage 7/10
Longevità 7/10
Profumo 8/10
Афины – :
It’s caipirinha :))).lime,figs,many sliced citrus at sparkling soda ;).so good,pleasant,close.there is some warm dry down,not aquatic -more creamy feeling.Like lemon cake.
Love it.
kos333 – :
Opens with fresh and tart lime powered by aldehydes. I smell something sweet in there too, that gets stronger as the scent develops. More fruit, sugary notes, and a hint of metallic notes underneath. Then, fig appears, giving the fruit a sultry edge. The fig gets stronger and stronger. The lime is now completely gone and the drydown is a mix of tropical fruit notes on a sweet vanillic base.
Sillage is moderate, longevity moderate.
Opens very zesty but gets a tropical fruity edge soon. Refreshing, but not my taste. Shame the lime doesn’t stay, the opening is really a winner!
attaskeme – :
When approaching Limon Verde, I still remembered my dissapointing encounter with Herba Fresca that haven’t met my expectation for fresh, vegetable scent at all. No wonder I was quite cautious and a bit wary about Limon Verde. Fortunately, it gave me everything I was hoping for.
First of all – the lime. It makes the frag citrusy, but not too sharp and not too zesty. Then – the green notes. They’re just perfect in here, like a bunch of freshly cut grass and vegetables right from a garden in the countryside. And finally – the figue. Not very bold, not quite obvious, used just to smooth the edges of the frag and doing its job perfectly.
The opening of Limon Verde is unbelieveably fresh in a very natural, almost organic way. Then it gets a bit sweeter, but not half as sweet as the notes in the pyramid might suggest.Just a perfect fragrance for hot summer. I totally love it and that’s why its poor longevity breaks my heart.
spok-dp – :
Once on my skin, I pick up the scent of lime, coconut, pandan leaves and sticky rice. I get the feeling I am about to eat a southeast Asian dish. The only thing missing is some thinly sliced chilies and a few sprigs of cilantro. Way too heavy a scent be refreshing. As this Allegoria warms up on me, I start to feel a little unwell. Eventually had to wash this one off.
kobra_99 – :
It’s not ‘lemon’, just FIG, FIG, and FIG at all. Pleasant but wrong name. I like it and bought one though.
арамат – :
Delicious citrus, not too sharp. Reminds me of a whole lemon, juice and zest. Discreet sillage.
monty1140 – :
It’s like drinking caiprinha through the nose! A very close replica. Often times fragrances that are themed after citruses can be overly sharp, but they did a good job with this one by retaining the freshness of citrus while cutting out the sharpness with sweet notes and rounding it with floral notes.
hitmanmc – :
It’s truly a unisex fragrance, not being obtrusively fresh and masculine I fell in love with it at first smell.
Usually I’m wary of citruses and would veer on the fruity side of things for summer. However, between this and Herba Fresca, Limon Verde won hands down.
It’s a calm, sweet and fresh smell, invigorating at the same time and equivalent of a sunny, green day in the park.
Beautiful, however as with most citrus fragrances not very long lasting.
As it comes in generous sizes of 75ml and 125, I don’t mind, happily reapply for those zesty top notes. Yum!!!
kolosokob – :
This flirty cocktail of a scent isn’t going to set the perfume world ablaze, but it’s fun, fresh and sufficiently interesting to accompany me through the summer. I would agree that fig should receive equal billing here; the lime note does not linger as long as you might expect, leaving the tropical notes to do most of the heavy lifting. The sillage and longevity are good for a citrus based perfume, evidence that it is well made and therefore decent value (cf. Pamplelune, another great AA citrus). Jo Malone take note.
lypesopperway – :
On a hot day the lime top disappears into thin air leaving masculine mix with dominant fig note. The sillage is soft and it’s gone within 3 hours. It was more pleasant when I tested it in store.
Aerohopleneries2 – :
I’ve read some people saying on the internet that “Limon Verde” doesn’t evoke caipirinha drinks to them. I suppose they need to drink more caipirinha then. I tried this today and I started to laugh out loud at the citrus explosion upon application. It surely smells like caipirinha!
Unfortunately this bright and citrus beginning fades quite fast to the sugary base. I could even picture the frame: I imagined myself drinking a caipirinha at a bar and then I’m left to nothing but the sugar at the bottom of my cup. I do get some fig as well, but it’s not strong and quite subdued by the sugar cane.
“Limon Verde” doesn’t seem to have a strong sillage but it does last a long on my skin even after a shower. I just wish the caipirinha could last longer on my cup…
hoganoutlet164 – :
Sampled this today, and on me, it is far from ordinary. Beautiful, airy, and fresh! Gorgeous lime and green notes at first, that later morphs into Tonka bean and fig. Very refreshing in this hot weather. Silage is pretty good, and longevity is very good. Personally, I think it’s a must try for Summer!
periko777 – :
This is a really lovely natural smelling sweet lime & fig fragrance.
Nothing too complex or ground breaking, just a very pleasant and easy to wear lime based fragrance.
This is perfect for the hot weather, which I think is the intended use.
This is definitely a unisex fragrance, but it does lean slightly more towards the feminine side.
This lasts a surprisingly long time for a citrus scent. I get about seven hours out of it.
This fragrance doesn’t make a huge statement, but it is noticeable to those within a close proximity.
In my opinion, this is one of the better fragrances in the Aqua Allegoria line. I can imagine this fragrance would be very easy to reach for during hot weather. It would also be a good option for those who don’t want the typical aquatic or “suntan lotion-like” summer fragrances.
FriendLily – :
I have yet to try a lime scented fragrance that has character and is unique. This is no exception, sadly. It is a lively and lifelike lime, with a realistic tinge of bitterness behind the citrus characteristic of limes (vs lemons). It is light and fresh and refreshing, but it is very simple. It does not develop on my skin, and while there might be a hint of fig that appears about 20 minutes after application, that could also be my over reactive imagination; this is a very uni-dimensional fragrance. It also only lasts about 3 hours total, with low sillage. Summery, but rather boring.
77rakovich – :
I like this a lot; I’m beginning to think I love everything that combines citrus with sugar or fig. Use all three and you’re bound to come up with a winner in my eyes.
It smells exactly like a cocktail, only without the suggestion of stickiness. Sweet in a deliciously fresh way. It is quite simple and it doesn’t change much but in my eyes that’s not a bad thing; afther the lovely opening there’s none of those nasty surprises or even that mild heartbreak when less beloved notes start taking center stage, like there so often is with a more complex scent.
Like most summer scents it doesn’t last too long, only a couple of hours; but re-applying is nice and refreshing so I don’t mind.
I’d like a small bottle of this but it’s not on top of my wishlist, so I hope it sticks around long enough for me to decide (or win the lottery!).
Hazard_8808 – :
I’m not afan of Limon Verde. It smells plesant but coming from such a perfume house it smells more of a joke. I’m not saying that Guerlain should only make old classics with matronly effect or sensual orientals or unaffordable thick and heavy Extraits. It’s actually very good that they offer a wide range of perfumes, but again AA Limon Verde smells like something that had to be put on marketing for marketing’s sake.
Lime is a very acidic fruit and here it is not acidic at all, well it might be the fig, but I smell no fig here. maybe when you put lime and fig together there goes a reaction that gives birth to a new fruit: the sugary figlim.
Refreshing at first, it becomes syrupy like one of those lemon or lime syrup that you put in cold water to make drinks for children or cocktails for adults.
No feve tonka here or maybe it has been eaten by sugar. Instead there is weird vaguely stale basenote, probably a result of clashing notes, very similar to what happens in Pamplelune, but Limon Verde smells better than that.
Since La Petite Robe Noire sugar has become an usual player for Guerlain, too. Very easy to do, it enfolds all the rest, so if you cannot smell real lime nor real fig blame it on the sugar, not on the fact that they actually put no real lime and no real fig in it.
In the end it smells like a sweet summer cocktail, apart from the stale edge that could be a chemistry thing with my skin.
Not a bad one, but I wish that Guerlain didn’t reformulate nor discontinue true beauties to give us scents for a season. In AA line there were few meaningful ones. Gone.

Pleasant lime scent, not sharp, so I like it, even if usually I don’t like intense green scents. Surely it is for green fragrances’ lovers.

In case this helps someone else considering this perfume, in my opinion AA
