Ginger Piccante, when the fiery ginger comes in an Aqua Allegoria by Guerlain
Ginger Piccante by Guerlain comes in a bottle that is common to all the perfumes in the Aqua Allegoria collection. Moreover, the bottle of Aqua Allegoria is far from having been chosen at random.

Ginger deploys all its flavor and complexity in this fragrance. It first displays extreme freshness by combining with a zesty breath of lemon bergamot. It then heats up on contact with the pepper. Her heart, meanwhile, expresses all her femininity in a bouquet of roses. Finally, for more character, Aqua Allegoria Ginger Piccante ends with a cedar base.
