Released in 2019, Coconut Fizz was yet another addition to Guerlain 's already extensive roster of Aqua Allegoria fragrances. I was a bit surprised when this came out because I felt like coconut seemed out of place in a line known for light and fresh scents. When I think of coconut in fragrances—from Nishane's Fan Your Flames , to Francesca Bianchi's Sex and the Sea , and even to local brand ScentSmith Perfumery's Ilang Ilang Coconut —it's always warm and creamy. But then this one has "fizz" in its name.

The list of fragrances under  Guerlain's Aqua Allegoria line just keeps on getting longer by the minute. Last year (2019), Ginger Piccante caught my eye at a sales counter. It was a fairly new release then and the idea of introducing ginger to this line—otherwise known for inoffensive, light and fresh scents—intrigued me. Although it's not a particularly heavy spice, ginger isn't to everyone's taste, so my curiosity was instantly piqued.
