Guerlain Shalimar (2009 Limited Editions) is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009. Shalimar (2009 Limited Editions) opens with Bergamot, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Vanilla.

This isn't just a perfume, it's an experience. Shalimar is a legend for a reason, but be warned: this isn't for the faint-hearted. It opens with a bold, almost challenging blast before settling into a warm, sensual embrace. Definitely a 'love it or hate it' scent.

About

Shalimar opens with a sharp, invigorating hit of bergamot, almost medicinal to some, that quickly mellows into a creamy citrus. The heart blooms with elegant iris, delicate rose, and a touch of jasmine, weaving a powdery floral veil. As it dries down, a rich, seductive vanilla dominates, creating a warm and utterly sensual aura that lingers in the air.
