Guerlain Eau de Shalimar is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008, created by Jean-Paul Guerlain and Mathilde Laurent. Eau de Shalimar opens with Bergamot, Orange, and Lime, settles into a heart of Rose and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Resin, Iris, and Vanilla. Guerlain's Eau de Shalimar carries a Favourite verdict, an amber-led wear.

A beloved, lighter take on the legendary Shalimar, this flanker maintains the original's elegance while embracing a zesty, vanilla-laced charm. It's a gorgeous "gateway Shalimar" with just enough creamy citrus to make it an easy crowd-pleaser.

About

Eau de Shalimar opens with a refreshing burst of vibrant lime, orange, and bergamot, cutting through with a delightful tartness. This bright citrus mellows into a soft heart of jasmine and rose, before settling into a fluffy, powdery drydown of rich vanilla, sweet iris, and warm resin. The result is a luminous, airy, and delicately sweet scent.
