Shalimar Millésime Tonka EDP

Which Should You Buy?
Tom Ford Metallique is properly divisive- you'll either get an 'icy' metallic vanilla or a 'rusty' nauseating mess. If your skin plays nice, it's a unique and sophisticated vanilla, clean but never boring. A true love-it-or-hate-it scent.
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
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its moderate projection makes it suitable for office wear, while its unique, sophisticated vanilla makes it excellent for dates or casual outings. It's too distinctive for formal events and totally wrong for sport.
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.
