Aqua Allegoria Flora Nymphea. Wet Lilac
It seems this is a mix of fleur d'oranger, Florazone (for that garden-after-the-rain feel) and some synthetic berry (maybe dewberry).
Guerlain’s Flora Nymphea is harsher and heavier than the real aroma of a lilac bush. The monotonous warm fleur d’oranger note turns into a lilac under layer of cool synthetics. It’s a tarty floral with an imaginary berry.
Compared to another lilac in En Passant (Frederic Malle) Flora Nymphea is much warmer whereas En Passant is closer to the real flower.
