SHALIMAR, AN ODE TO SENSUALITY

Inspired by the passionate love story between an emperor and an Indian princess, Shalimar, which means "temple of love" in Sanskrit, symbolises the promise of eternal love forevermore. It is a fragrance of desire. With its smouldering and slightly impertinent character, the star oriental fragrance in perfumery embodies skin-caressing sensuality with a hint of the forbidden. "Wearing Shalimar means letting your senses take over," Jacques Guerlain would say.

Created especially for Guerlain loyalists, this modern sculpture doubles as a refillable spray case that reveals a glimpse of your perfume's mystery and recalls the fine engraving of precious jewellery.

Oriental.
Voluptuous, sensual, spellbinding.

A flight of flowers and bergamot whips up the top notes with a breeze of freshness. The heart is warmed by enveloping and delicately powdery notes of iris, jasmine and rose. To conclude, the presence of vanilla, rounded balmy notes and the gourmand warmth of tonka bean orchestrate a sensual symphony for the dry-down.

THE QUINTESSENCE OF “GUERLINADE”

Voluptuous and sensual, Shalimar Eau de Toilette opens with a breeze of flowers and bergamot, warmed with notes of iris, jasmine and rose. Vanilla, balsam notes and tonka beans meanwhile bring power and sensuality to this now-legendary fragrance. Also included are the notes that make up the famous “Guerlinade” olfactory signature, which is recognised for making many of the Guerlain house fragrances so unique.

VANILLA

As the essential raw material in the famous “Guerlinade” signature, vanilla is the key note found within Shalimar’s legendary fragrance, and dear to the Guerlain house. Sensual and luminous, it imbues skin with gourmand, woody, leathery and spicy aromas.

BERGAMOT

Altogether zesty, green and floral, this faceted citrus dubbed the “green gold of Calabria”, is also one of the House’s favourite raw materials. Overdosed in Shalimar and paired with iris, it brings a sparkling opening to the legendary scent.

PERFUMERS SECRET

Jacques Guerlain daringly used a completely new gourmand molecule, ethylvanillin, blended with the Jicky accord. Swept away by this deliciously carnal creation, which he worked on night and day, he knew that he was paving the way for a "small revolution": the first pure oriental fragrance.

AN ICONIC BOTTLE
