Guerlain 2008 EDP
Eau de Shalimar
by Jean-Paul Guerlain , Mathilde Laurent
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 Resins, Iris, and Vanilla. Guerlain's Eau de Shalimar carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-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.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Best Occasions
The moderate sillage and fresh, clean character make it highly suitable for casual and office wear, as noted by reviewers who praise its 'soft magic' and 'office scents rotation' potential. Its elegance also lends itself well to dates and less formal occasions, though its lighter nature might be overshadowed in very formal settings.
