The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2007, Shalimar Black Mystery 2007 by Guerlain is an Oriental Floral fragrance that combines the brightness of citrus with rich, smoky undertones. The composition opens with a burst of bergamot and mandarin orange before transitioning into the heart notes of jasmine, rose, and iris. The base features oak moss, incense, civetta, and sandalwood, creating a complex interplay between fresh and warm elements. This fragrance stands out for its balance of light and dark, making it both intriguing and captivating.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a lasting effect. The smoky base notes take time to develop fully, so it's best worn in layers to allow each note to unfold gradually throughout the day.
