Shalimar Millésime Tonka EDP
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
A divisive floral vanilla that splits opinion. Some find it a fluffy, elegant dream of powdery sweetness, others a generic, cloying mess reminiscent of older scents. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
A modern, sophisticated Shalimar flanker, Tonka proves to be a crowd-pleaser, delivering a smooth, slightly boozy take on the classic. Guerlain's decision to make this a limited edition has only fuelled its legendary status and desirability. Expect to pay a pretty penny on the secondary market.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and soft, comforting character make it suitable for close-quarters like the office, provided it's not oversprayed. The romantic, elegant quality naturally lends itself to date nights, while also being popular for casual at-home wear due to its 'soft life' vibe. It's too sweet and plush for hot weather or physical activity.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its rich, deep, and long-lasting nature makes it excellent for dates or formal events where you want to make an impression. While it's sophisticated enough for some office environments, its strong projection means it's best applied lightly to avoid overwhelming colleagues. It's generally too heavy for casual daytime wear.
