Launched in 2012, Shalimar Talisman Byzantin by Guerlain is an Oriental Woody fragrance that weaves together the rich heritage of French perfumery with a modern twist. The composition opens with bright citrus notes like bergamot and lemon, which cut through the heart of iris, jasmine, and rose to create an unexpected tension. As these florals settle into a base of vanilla, opoponax, leather, sandalwood, musk, and civet, the fragrance transforms into a complex blend of warmth and depth, reminiscent of the luxury and craftsmanship that Guerlain is known for.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance directly to pulse points for the best longevity. The citrus notes will fade within an hour, but the base of vanilla and musk will linger all day. This one reads better close to skin than across a room, so aim for a light touch.
