Elegance, sensuality, subtlety, hold, through this perfume that an inspired oriental love tale, Shalimar is the dazzling essence of a woman inexhaustibly desirable, perpetually desired.
Shalimar is like her: both subtle and intimate. A luscious and suave fragrance with an elegant sensuality whose undeniable attraction is expressed, depending on the moment, the skin or the hours, in multiple and surprising facets.
Shalimar is a potion of femininity. Like the elixirs of legend, it springs from the basin of a magical fountain. The curves of the bottle evoke the round softness of the fountain, while the blue transparent fan-shaped cap recalls the eternal water jets of the Shalimar gardens. In the clarity of the gold-labeled glass, the mythical fragrance shines with a secret flame.
Perfumer's secret
Perfume accompanies every moment of life, but we don't perfume ourselves the same way in the morning after washing and in the evening before going out. Adapting the intensity of your trail according to your desires, moods or circumstances is a true ritual, and Guerlain has revealed its secret to you.
The perfume, also called Extrait, is the most concentrated and faithful form of perfume. Designed to live in osmosis with the skin, Extrait expresses itself differently on each woman and creates a unique alchemy on contact with her skin. A few drops of perfume applied directly to the skin, on the inside of the wrists and elbows, at the base of the neck, the hairline, the hollow of the décolleté, will reveal its presence as you move around and over the course of the hours, without ever making it invasive.
The eau de toilette, fresher and richer in initial notes, is the essential complement to the Extrait. Although it lasts only a short time, it has a real trail that can be enhanced with a few drops of perfume. The Eau de Toilette is sprayed directly on clothes, hair and skin.
The Eau de Parfum, more concentrated than the Eau de Toilette, leaves an exceptional trail that underlines the presence of the wearer. It is used in the same way as the Eau de Toilette.
Heart notes:
opopanax, tonka bean, jasmine, May rose

Four centuries ago, in India, Emperor Shah Jahan fell hopelessly in love with Princess Mumtaz Mahal. He created the wonderful Shalimar Gardens for her, then dedicated the Taj Mahal to her, one of the seven new wonders of the world. This incredible story fired Jacques Guerlain's imagination, and in 1925 he created Shalimar, the first oriental fragrance in history.
Jacques Guerlain dared to use a completely new gourmand molecule, ethylvanillin, combined with the Jicky accord. Deeply moved by this deliciously sensual creation, which he reworked day and night, he already knew he was heading towards a "small revolution": that of the first pure oriental fragrance.
