The Story

Launched in 2010, Shalimar Edition Charms Eau de Parfum by Guerlain is an Oriental Floral fragrance that embodies the brand's rich heritage and innovative spirit. Jacques Guerlain crafted this composition with a balance of bright citrus notes like lemon and bergamot, which give way to a heart of jasmine, iris, and rose. The base notes of vanilla, leather, incense, and musk create a warm, enveloping embrace that is both classic and modern.

Application Tips

Apply this fragrance to pulse points and allow it time to develop — the initial citrus notes fade quickly, revealing the heart and base layers. It performs best in cooler environments, where its warmth feels comforting rather than overwhelming.

Jacques Guerlain portrait
When I created Shalimar, I was thinking of the great love stories — of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal.

Jacques Guerlain is one of the greatest perfumers who ever lived — the man who gave the world Shalimar, Mitsouko, L'Heure Bleue, and Vol de Nuit. As the third-generation perfumer of the House of Guerlain, he elevated the family craft into high art. Working in the legendary Guerlain laboratory on the Champs-Élysées, he drew inspiration from love, literature, and travel to create fragrances of unprecedented emotional depth. Shalimar, inspired by the gardens of the Taj Mahal and his love affair with a woman whose identity remains mysterious, is perhaps the most celebrated perfume in history.
