What It Does
Shalimar is the first perfume of its kind in history. The Eau de Toilette wake is characterized by bergamot, iris, and vanilla notes. It leaves an unforgettable memory and embodies skin-caressing sensuality with a hint of the forbidden.
Fragrance Family
Gourmand
Perfumers Secret
Jacques Guerlain daringly used a completely new gourmand molecule, ethylvanillin, blended with the Jicky accord. Swept away by this deliciously carnal creation, which he worked on night and day, he knew that he was paving the way for a "small revolution": the first fragrance of its' kind.
About The Bottle
In 1925, the Shalimar bottle designed by Raymond Guerlain won first prize at the Paris Decorative Arts Exhibition. Its curves were inspired by the basins of the famous Shalimar gardens. The fan stopper with its sapphire transparency recalls the garden's eternally gushing water.
Scent Type
- Voluptuous, sensual, spellbinding
- A flight of flowers and bergamot whips up the top notes with a breeze of freshness. The heart is warmed by enveloping and delicately powdery notes of iris, jasmine, and rose. To conclude, the presence of vanilla, rounded balmy notes, and the gourmand warmth of tonka bean orchestrate a sensual symphony for the dry-down.
