Shalimar
Guerlain Shalimar is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1990, created by Jacques Guerlain. Shalimar opens with Citrus, Bergamot, Lemon, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Vetiver, Patchouli, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Guerlain's Shalimar carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.
A legendary icon of perfumery, Shalimar envelops with smoky vanilla, powder, and amber warmth, leaving a luxurious, unforgettable trail. Not for the shy or faint-hearted.

Best Seasons
Shalimar's rich amber-vanilla and smoky balsamic base shine in cold weather, enveloping the wearer in warmth. The heavy oriental character can be cloying in heat, making it best suited for fall and winter, but its citrus opening can offer some appeal in early spring.
Best Occasions
Shalimar is commanding and opulent, ideal for formal events or romantic evenings. Its intensity and longevity make it less suitable for office or sporty scenarios, where it may come across as overwhelming.
