Guerlain Eau de Shalimar 2009 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009. Eau de Shalimar 2009 opens with Bergamot, Orange, and Lime, settles into a heart of Rose and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Amber and Vanilla. Guerlain's Eau de Shalimar 2009 carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This flanker of Guerlain's classic Shalimar is a polarising affair. Some adore its sweet, zesty take on the original, while others find it too weak, too sharp, or too far removed from the Shalimar they know and love.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its lighter projection and fresh, sweet profile make it suitable for casual wear and dates, but its tendency towards weakness means it wouldn't overpower an office setting. It's too informal for most serious formal events, and certainly not built for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

A delightful, albeit fleeting, journey. It opens with a bold, tart burst of bergamot, lime, and orange, settling swiftly into a fluffy, angora-sweater vanilla with delicate hints of rose and jasmine. The citrus remains, evolving into a sweet, almost gourmand key lime pie or lemon meringue character, underpinned by a soft, luxurious amber and a whisper of powdery warmth.
