The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2009, Eau de Shalimar by Guerlain is an Oriental Floral fragrance that embodies the brand's tradition of using luxurious and rare materials. The composition opens with a bright citrus accord of lime, bergamot, and orange before transitioning into a rich heart of jasmine and rose. The base notes of vanilla and amber provide warmth and depth, creating a complex yet harmonious scent.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a subtle yet long-lasting effect. The base notes of vanilla and amber take time to develop, so give it at least 30 minutes before fully appreciating its depth.
