Shalimar Ode a la Vanille Sur la route de Madagascar

Guerlain Shalimar Ode a la Vanille Sur la route de Madagascar is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Thierry Wasser. Shalimar Ode a la Vanille Sur la route de Madagascar 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 Ode a la Vanille Sur la route de Madagascar carries an Acquired verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

This Shalimar flanker is Guerlain at its best, a softer, more sensual take on the classic that many find superior to the original's current formulation. Expect a sophisticated vanilla with fantastic depth, though some find it a bit too subtle.

About

Opens with a bright, rounded bergamot and citrus burst, soon giving way to a heart of elegant iris and subtle rose. The dry down is a warm, enveloping embrace of Madagascan vanilla, rich amber, and soft leathery incense, underpinned by a hint of civet and balsamic sweetness, creating a refined and almost gourmand experience.
