Guerlain Shalimar perfume for women Eau de Parfum - 90ml

Guerlain's Shalimar perfume is not just a perfume, but a "legend" alive in the world of fragrances. It is classified as the first oriental perfume in history (launched in 1925), inspired by the eternal love story between Emperor Shah Jahan and Princess Mumtaz Mahal, and the famous "Shalimar" gardens in India. Shalimar by Guerlain is considered the masterpiece crafted by perfumer Jacques Guerlain. The perfume features a complex composition and an astonishing olfactory progression; it begins with a strong citrusy touch that quickly dissolves into a soft floral heart, settling finally on a rich, smoky base that has made it the favorite perfume of beauty icons around the world for decades. Why does "Shalimar" remain the king of oriental perfumes? The secret lies in the "intense vanilla dose" that was first blended with "ethyl vanillin" and notes of leather and incense. This mixture creates a warm, mysterious, and intimate scent all at once. It is the perfume that gives you an aura of royal luxury, making it the first choice for major formal occasions and luxurious evening meetings. Olfactory pyramid: Top notes: bergamot, lemon, and orange (Citrus) for a bright and refreshing start. Heart notes: lily of the valley, jasmine, and Bulgarian rose for a soft powdery floral touch. Base notes: vanilla, incense, leather, and guaiac wood to ensure legendary longevity and an enchanting oriental depth.
