The Story

Launched in 2013 by Guerlain and crafted by perfumer Thierry Wasser, Shalimar Parfum Initial L'Eau Si Sensuelle is a Floral Green fragrance that captures the essence of modern elegance. The composition begins with bright citrus notes from bergamot and grapefruit, which mingle effortlessly with green accents to create a fresh and vibrant opening. As it evolves, iris and white florals like jasmine and rose introduce an intricate blend of warmth and sophistication, while vanilla and tonka bean provide a subtle sweetness that grounds the scent in sensuality.

Application Tips

This EDT opens with a bright and fresh top note that fades within an hour. To ensure the longevity of the warm base notes, apply it to pulse points like wrists and neck. It's best experienced close to skin rather than in a room-filling sillage.
