SHALIMAR, AN ODE TO SENSUALITY

Shalimar is the first ambery perfume in history.
L'Eau de Parfum Shalimar is a mythic fragrance with bergamot, iris and vanilla notes ; an intense wake with a touch of impertinence, always glowing which embodies skin-caressing sensuality with a hint of the forbidden.

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.
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.

THE QUINTESSENCE OF “GUERLINADE”

Voluptuous and sensual, Shalimar Eau de Parfum 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

"ITS FRESH AND DELICIOUS FLIGHT BECOMES A SENSUAL MIST, AS YOU DISCOVER VANILLA AND THE POWDERY NOTES WITHIN ITS SOFT AND SENSUAL BASE.”

Jacques Guerlain,
Iconic Guerlain house perfumer

AN ICONIC BOTTLE

Both a technical feat and daring gem, the Shalimar bottle with its arabesque designs evokes the basins of the Shalimar gardens. Its fan-shaped stopper brings to mind the eternal beauty of the garden’s water jets.
