SHALIMAR, AN ODE TO SENSUALITY
In 1925, the Shalimar bottle designed by Raymond Guerlain won first prize at the Paris Decorative Arts Exhibition. Its curves were inspired by the basins of the famous Shalimar gardens. The fan stopper with its sapphire transparency recalls the garden's eternally gushing water.

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 l'Extrait 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.
