by Thierry Wasser

Guerlain Shalimar Ode a la Vanille is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010, created by Thierry Wasser. Shalimar Ode a la Vanille settles into a heart of Spicy, Resin, and Vanilla. Guerlain's Shalimar Ode a la Vanille carries an Acquired verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

This is Shalimar's smoother, more accessible sister, and she's a stunner. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair for some, but many find this vanilla-forward take on a classic offers all the allure without the challenging opening of the original. Prepare to be smitten.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:
Office Casual

While still a potent fragrance, its smoothed-out character makes it more versatile for office wear than the original Shalimar. It's perfectly suited for dates and formal events, given its sophisticated and sensual profile. However, its warmth and richness make it unsuitable for casual daytime or sport.

About

Imagine a rich, creamy vanilla, infused with the warmth of balsamic resins and a gentle kick of spice. It's an intoxicating blend, less animalic than its predecessor, with an inviting amber glow. The powdery facets are softened, giving way to a delectable, almost gourmand dry-down that lingers beautifully. Think opulent, but entirely wearable.
