The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2014, Shalimar Indian Nights by Maison Gripoix is an Oriental Floral fragrance that captures the essence of opulent evenings under a starlit sky. The composition opens with a bright bergamot note before diving into a heart of iris, jasmine, and rose, which adds a lush floral warmth. The base notes of opoponax, tonka bean, and vanilla create a rich, balsamic sweetness that lingers like the afterglow of a grand celebration.
Apply this fragrance in small amounts — it develops its full warmth within an hour. The vanilla base will last well into the night, so a light spritz is sufficient for evening wear.
