Shalimar Edition Charms

by Jacques Guerlain

Guerlain Shalimar Edition Charms is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010, created by Jacques Guerlain. Shalimar Edition Charms opens with Mandarin, Citrus, Lemon, and Cedar, settles into a heart of Iris, Vetiver, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Civet, Leather, Opoponax, and Incense. Guerlain's Shalimar Edition Charms carries an Acquired verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

This Shalimar twist is a deeply divisive classic that some adore for its potent, elegant aura, while others recoil from its intense, almost burnt character. It's not a blind buy for the faint of heart, but for those who get it, it's pure glamour.

Its potent nature and strong sillage, as noted by reviewers, makes it less suitable for office environments. However, the elegant and sensual character derived from its warm, animalic and balsamic accords makes it perfect for dates and formal events, creating a luxurious and confident impression.

About

A radiant burst of bright citruses like mandarin and lemon, paired with a subtle cedar, instantly grabs attention. This then gracefully softens into a powdery heart of iris and rose, underpinned by earthy vetiver and patchouli. The dry down is where the magic truly unfolds, with a rich tapestry of smoky incense, warm vanilla, animalic civet, and supple leather, creating a deeply sensual and complex finish.
