The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2020 by Thierry Wasser, Shalimar Eau De Parfum Serie Limitee is a luxurious Oriental Floral fragrance that captures the essence of Guerlain's rich heritage. The composition opens with fresh citrus notes like mandarin orange and bergamot, which give way to a heart of jasmine, rose, and iris. The base layers in powdery woods, vanilla, and opoponax, creating an enveloping warmth that is both comforting and sophisticated.

This limited edition fragrance embodies the brand's commitment to using rare materials and innovative techniques, blending traditional accords with modern touches to create a lasting scent.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a subtle yet lasting effect. The powdery base notes take about an hour to fully bloom, so give it time to develop on your skin. Best suited for evening wear when you want a scent that is both warm and alluring.
