GUERLAIN Aqua Allegoria Hand Cream Mandarin Basilic, 50ml

I learned about the special event through GUERLAIN's live broadcast and bought the gift set. (Available at Shinjuku Isetan until May 27, 2025) If you select the Mandarin Basilic hand cream, you'll also get a set of Kiss Kiss Be Glow Oil 319 (Peach Glow). It's a little pricey for a hand cream, but the honeycomb design and bee engraving are cute, it's smooth and comfortable to use, and it smells just as good as Aqua Allegoria's toiletry. ★The only thing I didn't like is that the container's design makes it a little difficult to get the product out. (I agree with a Rosa Rossa customer who said, "Why don't they make it a tube?") It also comes with an original tote bag that can easily fit A4 size documents, so I'm very satisfied with this great value gift set! (Gift price: 12,870 yen)

When I heard that Aqua Allegoria hand cream was coming out, I jumped at the official pre-sale offer. I wrote about it in detail in my previous Rosa Rossa post, so I'll just summarize. Basically, it's hard to get the liquid out. If you don't shake it upside down before use, it can get a lot of liquid out, or it doesn't work at all. I understand the honeycomb shape as part of the brand concept, but I'm a little worried about whether I'll be able to use it all the way through. The texture is simply amazing! It's smooth and silky from the moment you apply it. And yet it feels moisturized from the inside out, and it's worth the price! The scent is Aqua Allegoria's Mandarin Basil. It has a sweet mandarin scent with a hint of basil. This scent is perfect for the upcoming summer months. I felt it was a little stronger than my usual toiletry product when I first applied it, but it faded after a while. It's true to the Mandarin Basil scent, but perhaps because it was so strong, it also reminded me a little of air freshener for just a moment... That was only for a brief moment when I first saw it. It smells great. The texture is amazing. I'm a little concerned about the price and the packaging, so I'll give it 6 stars, but I plan to buy one of the three types again.

It's not as strong as perfume and is easy to use. The cream is not sticky and blends in easily, which I like.

I was searching for a good hand cream when I found this one! It comes in four scents and each comes in a different color package. I love pink, so I decided to buy the pink one, but I really liked the mandarin scent so I bought it. The fresh citrus scent is so refreshing that I find myself sniffing my hands over and over after applying it. Even when something unpleasant happens, this scent calms me down. lol Not only does it smell great, but it's also very moisturizing, so I love it!

The newly released Guerlain hand cream is incredibly rich and makes you feel great. As you'd expect from Guerlain, there are three scents to choose from, and each one is a hit. They're all so good I want to use one depending on my mood that day. Incidentally, all the scents were sold out in stores, so I waited a week for them to arrive. The beeswax content makes it moisturizing, but once absorbed, it doesn't feel sticky. The scent isn't as strong as perfume, but it lingers for a while, so maybe not a good idea before a meal? I use it to refresh myself after lunch. The only drawback is the case. The lid pops off easily, so it might be a bit intimidating to carry around. Also, as I've read in other reviews, it's a bit difficult to dispense. If you carefully squeeze to avoid too much, it won't come out, but if you press too hard, you'll get more than you want. Even if you can't wear perfume regularly, this is a great way to treat yourself with a pleasant scent and moisturize your hands, so I recommend it as a treat.
