About
Shalimar Legere by Guerlain is a Oriental Floral fragrance for women. Shalimar Legere was launched in 2003. The nose behind this fragrance is Mathilde Laurent. Top notes are Lemon and Bergamot; middle notes are Orange, Iris and Jasmine; base notes are Vanilla and Amber. Imagine to be sitting on a floor in a luxurious palace somewhere in the Middle East and eating lemon sherbet with jasmine. The wild wind is bringing the smell of blooming orange and sways the scented silk of the palace. As opposed to the classic Shalimar, this one was created in 2003. The fragrance ranges from fresh lemon in the top to the warm vanilla heart. This fragrance can not be compared with classic Shalimar, because its composition is different, although it has preserved some attributes of Guerlain’s fragrances. The top notes are lemon and bergamot, the heart notes are jasmine, iris and orange; the base is composed of vanilla and amber.
