Shalimar Serie Limitee

Guerlain Shalimar Serie Limitee is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020. Shalimar Serie Limitee opens with Lemon, Mandarin, Citrus, and Cedar, settles into a heart of Rose, Iris, Jasmine, and Vetiver, and dries down to a base of Civet, Leather, Sandalwood, and Opoponax. Guerlain's Shalimar Serie Limitee carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

A divisive beast, even among Shalimar fanatics. Some claim it's a citrus-forward vintage revival; others insist it's just the old EDP in a pretty new bottle. Either way, expect classic Guerlain grandeur.

About

Shalimar Serie Limitee opens with a bold, bright burst of zesty lemon and bergamot, surprisingly potent given modern regulations. This vibrant citrus quickly yields to a powdery, rooty iris, softened by rose and an earthy vetiver-patchouli heart. The base settles into a rich tapestry of smoky incense, creamy vanilla, smooth sandalwood, and a hint of animalic civet, all underpinned by warm balsamic opoponax and tonka bean. It's a complex, evolving scent journey.
