Launched in 2020, Shalimar Philtre de Parfum by Guerlain is a sophisticated Oriental Floral fragrance created by perfumer Thierry Wasser. The composition begins with a bright citrus-aromatic opening of lemon and bergamot, which gives way to a heart of lavender, iris, jasmine, and rose. These floral notes are enveloped in a warm base of vanilla, tolu balsam, and patchouli, creating an intimate and comforting scent that balances freshness with richness.
