Aqua Allegoria Pera Granita
Icy pear and sharp grapefruit, the liquid equivalent of a summer reprieve
It starts as a bracing splash of grapefruit, lemon, and bergamot, immediately cooling the senses like a chilled fruit sorbet. The pear note arrives crisp and watery, softening into a heart of orange blossom and osmanthus that feels clean rather than sweet. Hedione adds a transparent, airy lift, while a base of moss and cedar keeps it grounded against the skin. It wears close and light, a polished, unobtrusive choice that holds its clarity throughout the afternoon heat without ever feeling heavy.
