Shalimar Perfume by Guerlain, Shalimar, the world-famous perfume created in 1925, is an aromatic tribute to the great love enjoyed by Emperor Shah Jahan and his wife Mumtaz Mahal. An oriental spicy fragrance for women, it opens with bergamot, cedar, citruses, lemon and mandarin orange, a fresh, energizing introduction. Heart notes of iris, jasmine, patchouli, rose and vetiver form the perfume’s luscious center, a floral bouquet cut with grassy and green accords. Base notes of civet, incense, leather, musk, opoponax, sandalwood, tonka bean and vanilla produce a rich, heady and slightly animalic foundation that completes this epic aromatic experience. The fragrance’s notable longevity and strong sillage lead its fans to recommend it for evening wear in the winter and fall.
