The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2021 and crafted by perfumers Thierry Wasser and Delphine Jelk, Shalimar Millésime Vanilla Planifolia is a luxurious Oriental vanilla fragrance that embodies the rich heritage of Guerlain. This composition opens with a bright burst of vanilla, which quickly transitions into a warm and powdery heart accented by soft spices. The base notes are balsamic and sweet, creating an enveloping warmth that feels both comforting and sophisticated.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance in light layers — its powdery warmth builds gradually on the skin. It's best suited for evenings or cooler days when you want a comforting and enveloping aroma that lasts close to your body.
