Which Should You Buy?
A legendary icon of perfumery, Shalimar envelops with smoky vanilla, powder, and amber warmth, leaving a luxurious, unforgettable trail. Not for the shy or faint-hearted.
Luna starts a bit wonky, but give it time to macerate and it transforms. What begins as a potent patchouli blast settles into a fantastic, unusual caramelised citrus and woody floral. Highly recommended for those who love a journey in their scent.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Shalimar's rich amber-vanilla and smoky balsamic base shine in cold weather, enveloping the wearer in warmth. The heavy oriental character can be cloying in heat, making it best suited for fall and winter, but its citrus opening can offer some appeal in early spring.
Occasions
Shalimar is commanding and opulent, ideal for formal events or romantic evenings. Its intensity and longevity make it less suitable for office or sporty scenarios, where it may come across as overwhelming.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its initial potency and strong projection make it less ideal for the office, but its sophisticated dry down and unique character are perfect for dates and evening events. The warmth and sweetness lend themselves well to cooler weather and formal occasions.
