Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Shalimar Philtre de Parfum opens with a vibrant, almost gourmand burst of lemon and bergamot, softened by a gentle touch of aromatic lavender. The heart unfolds into a luxurious powdery embrace of iris and rose, while the base settles into a comforting, creamy vanilla-balsam accord. It's a beautifully blended journey from bright citrus to a warm, enveloping dry down, retaining the Shalimar DNA but with a modern, softer touch.
