Shalimar Millésime Iris

by Delphine Jelk

Guerlain Shalimar Millésime Iris is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Delphine Jelk. Shalimar Millésime Iris opens with Bergamot, settles into a heart of Orris, and dries down to a base of Vanillin, Caramel, Musk, and Vanilla. Guerlain's Shalimar Millésime Iris carries a Favourite verdict, a iris-led wear.

This Shalimar Millésime Iris is pure comfort, a warm, sweet hug in a bottle that fans of the original (and some new converts) will adore. It’s Guerlain doing gourmand with serious style, though perhaps not enough iris for some. A limited edition masterpiece, sadly.

Its sweet, powdery, and gourmand character makes it excellent for dates and casual outings, though perhaps a bit too cosy for very formal events. The moderate sillage and longevity mean it can be worn in an office setting without being overwhelming.

About

A refined gourmand take on the classic, Shalimar Millésime Iris opens with a fleeting spark of bergamot that quickly gives way to a powdery, sweet heart of orris. Caramel and vanilla swirl together, creating an almost edible sensation of soft, confectionery delight. A subtle musky base ensures a smooth, elegant dry-down, reminiscent of a luxurious dessert with a tender, floral dusting.
