Guerlain Shalimar Millésime Tonka is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Thierry Wasser and Delphine Jelk. Shalimar Millésime Tonka opens with Bergamot and Almond, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Vanilla and Tonka Bean. Guerlain's Shalimar Millésime Tonka carries an Acquired verdict, a iris-led wear.

A modern, sophisticated Shalimar flanker, Tonka proves to be a crowd-pleaser, delivering a smooth, slightly boozy take on the classic. Guerlain's decision to make this a limited edition has only fuelled its legendary status and desirability. Expect to pay a pretty penny on the secondary market.

Its rich, deep, and long-lasting nature makes it excellent for dates or formal events where you want to make an impression. While it's sophisticated enough for some office environments, its strong projection means it's best applied lightly to avoid overwhelming colleagues. It's generally too heavy for casual daytime wear.

About

Shalimar Millésime Tonka opens with a creamy, almost cherry-like almond and the signature Guerlain bergamot. As it settles, a soft, powdery iris emerges, wrapped in a rich vanilla. The lengthy drydown is dominated by a warm, enveloping tonka bean, adding depth and a touch of roasted sweetness without ever becoming sickly. Hints of animalic leather peek through, grounding the sweet accords.
