Which Should You Buy?
Shalimar Parfum is an absolute icon, despite some finding its vintage charm challenging. It's a rich, opulent experience that demands appreciation, not dismissal. A masterpiece for those who truly love perfume's artistic side.
No.545 chases Guerlain's landmark Shalimar, keeping the sharp citrus-into-vanilla arc that defines the original, but the incense-vanilla base reads simpler and less resinous than the 1925 classic's famously complex oriental dry-down.
