Guerlain Shalimar Parfum Initial L'Eau

by Thierry Wasser

Guerlain Guerlain Shalimar Parfum Initial L'Eau is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2012, created by Thierry Wasser. Guerlain Shalimar Parfum Initial L'Eau opens with Neroli, Bergamot, Grapefruit, and Orange, settles into a heart of Rose, Lily Of The Valley, Iris, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Tonka Bean and Vanilla. Guerlain's Guerlain Shalimar Parfum Initial L'Eau carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This flanker proves divisive, celebrated by many as a refined, modern Shalimar, yet dismissed by others as a soapy, powdery disappointment. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with little middle ground.

About

It bursts open with a sharp, tangy citrus medley of bergamot, grapefruit, and neroli, quickly giving way to a heart of delicate iris and rose, softened by lily of the valley. A gentle, powdery veil settles, leading to a plush, warm base of tonka bean and vanilla that lingers with a comforting, almost gourmand sweetness, some even detect a hint of Earl Grey tea.
