A true classic of complex yet beautifully enticing oriental fragrances – the renowned Guerlain Shalimar perfume. It first graced the world in 1925, yet even today, it remains one of the most coveted scents among connoisseurs of luxury perfumery. It weaves together bright citrus and sensual floral notes with the robust aromas of leather and wood. Guerlain Shalimar encapsulates the true legend of the incredible love between an Indian Shah and his exquisite concubine.
Guerlain Shalimar belongs to the "oriental" and "floral" fragrance families. The composition opens with a bright citrus tandem of lemon and mandarin, enriched with spicy bergamot and woody cedar notes. At the heart of the perfume, iris, jasmine, and rose playfully mingle with vetiver and patchouli. The base notes are a blend of leather, vanilla, sandalwood, frankincense, musk, civet, and the balsamic touch of opoponax. Both strict and seductive at the same time, this fragrance makes hearts beat faster.

In my Shalimar toilet water, the scent of incense and wax is prominent. It starts off strong and then becomes softer, but it can be smelled throughout the entire day. The longevity of this fragrance is impressive. This time, I opted for the perfume version from ES, and it is very long-lasting, dense, and feels like a precious elixir. It is a masterpiece that time cannot ruin.
I used this creation throughout the cold seasons, from autumn to spring. It was brought from Germany, and there is not even a hint of forgery.
Considering that I love Guerlain for their "dresses," their tooth-crushing sweetness, longevity, and sillage, I absolutely did not like this fragrance. No matter how much I tried to figure out what makes this "luxurious" fragrance special, I couldn't find anything. I understand that everyone has different tastes, so I'll just share my own opinion.
The opening is killer! A million receptors explode in my nose from the initial notes, and tears well up in my eyes. No, I'm not actually crying.
It resembles a rubber melting factory with a touch of frankincense. You need to hold your breath for the first few minutes, or even better, step out onto the balcony and give yourself a little spritz; otherwise, your head will start to ache at that very moment.
I'm waiting for it to develop. But it doesn't! And there is no scent either. Absolutely nothing after about forty minutes. So, from the moment of application, you just endure the stench, and after half an hour, it doesn't smell like anything. Great, the torture wasn't long-lasting. God forbid using this elixir in the summer, it will knock out both yourself and those around you.
In conclusion: no development, no longevity, no sillage.
There's nothing more to write about. If the smell of burning rubber for forty minutes brings someone pleasure, then you're truly cool! As for me, I've put the bottle away for now and will take it out when mosquitoes arrive. I hope my review is useful to someone.
Fans of "Guerlain dresses," look for something more enjoyable.
Bergamot launches with its power and breathtaking sillage. There is so much of it that it seems like there are no other notes in the perfume. It quickly fades into the base on me, and there... You can get lost. The signature Guerlain undertone is enchanting. By the way, in the base, you can detect the same vanilla as in the aged classic Mon Guerlain (I have both, they are identical in the base). The longevity is average for such a "monster," but it satisfies me. I apply no more than one spray on my collarbone. The sillage is very pleasant. My husband, without knowing that it's my new Shalimar, said it smells expensive and very sexy (I'm 31, he's 35 years old). I don't hear any grandma's, grandpa's, or other trunks. Undoubtedly, lovers of Imperatrice, Bright Crystal, and similar fragrances will hardly appreciate Shalimar, but if you hear it once and you like it, then that's it... Any other perfume will always be compared to the grandeur and power of this classic.
I bought it here, but it was still winter. It's a prestigious, expensive, and legendary fragrance, but the initial scent is very sharp! It's a must-try! Apply it at least an hour before going out, as the rubbery notes overpower the others at first. But when it unfolds, it's beautiful - in my opinion, the bitter vanilla takes center stage... I even sleep in it.
I am trying this fragrance for the first time and immediately hit the mark. It is a divine classic that will never go out of style. I love oriental scents and I understand that Shalimar will become a favorite. In it, I can detect frankincense and some spices, creating a cozy aroma.
I finally received my package from the EU. I am familiar with the scent and I love it. It didn't immediately captivate me, but from the second sample, I was hooked. It is something magical and unusual, yet cozy and warm at the same time. The batch code is fine, not expired. Thank you to the store for the festive mood!
First encounter with a legend. I thought long and hard about where to begin, and I decided on the EDT. The first spritz on the blotter - it seems like I hit the mark, hello tires.... After an hour, I decided to apply it to my wrist. It still managed to captivate me, even from the blotter. On the skin, it unfolds completely differently. Yes, the infamous tires are present, but in a much smaller concentration and they don't repel, rather they spark curiosity about what's next?... And what comes next is that in the eau de toilette, the floral and citrus notes are almost nonexistent for me, but instead, there's an oriental tale of sun-warmed sandalwood with a hint of vanilla and a touch of powdery cloud. In short, love happened on the second try, or maybe the first if we don't count the blotter. I don't recommend trying to understand this perfume from paper alone, as the impressions are very different. As for longevity, it lasts all day on the skin and remains noticeable on clothing for several days. The store's service, as always, is top-notch :)
I really love the fragrances of this brand, so I've been slowly testing and trying them on myself. Currently, my favorite is "Elysian Fields." I decided to buy the famous "Shalimar" - I didn't dare to get the perfume, but I am very satisfied with this version! It reminds me of oriental incense. I once bought aroma sticks with vanilla, and it's very similar! I'm very happy that I took the risk, even though I bought it without testing it first. I caught myself smelling my wrist and enjoying it until the evening after the test.
I have heard mixed reviews, but I really wanted to have Shalimar in my perfume collection. It is suitable for a special occasion or mood, but a preliminary test is obligatory.
I didn't buy it here, but I decided to write a review. Oh, it's love at first sniff. The scent is multi-faceted and complex. It reminds me of an Eastern fairytale, but without excessive sweetness or overpowering spices. There's a hint of bitterness. Its longevity is excellent, it lasts all day on me. The jar is small, but it lasts a long time.
Oh my wonderful Shalimar! What a beautiful perfume!! Timeless classic and beauty. Of course, only those girls who appreciate complex and serious scents will understand them. I also have the eau de parfum, so now I can compare. I liked the toilet water more. It is not as long-lasting as the eau de parfum, there are fewer ingredients, no frankincense and patchouli, it is more delicate and calm. I can currently smell jasmine, rose, and powdery vanilla. Very delicious). The bottle is a separate compliment). It is simply perfect, a charmingly magical creation. This is my elixir of dream fulfillment)). Luxurious perfume! Thank you, Make up!!!)))
The TV stand is durable. At first, the scent may seem outdated and unclear, but once you wear it for a couple of hours, it's simply delightful. It has a very unique smell that is suitable for any time of the year.
I have always been amazed at reviews about the lack of longevity of fragrances, but now this fate has befallen me as well. I have come to the conclusion that caution must be exercised when ordering products from the EU. However, even Shalimar cannot last on clothing for more than an hour, and even then, barely. In order to anticipate the response regarding personal perception, I conducted an experiment - one spray of the EU-ordered fragrance on clothing and another of a fragrance purchased elsewhere. The difference is colossal.
I deeply regret ordering the toilet water instead of the perfume. Maybe I should have taken a break... but even so, it's just disappointing! I tested it in the boutique and the scent was like a fairytale, but this is just a pitiful imitation. I don't recommend it!
I really liked the scent of the perfume. It's unusual. After reading reviews, I decided to buy a sample first. The scent is expensive and complex. It definitely won't go well with a jacket and sneakers (as mentioned in the reviews). I waited for the perfume from the EU for a few days. I hope this scent will become my favorite. Thank you, MAKEAP.
Hello! I received the water and was very disappointed, as you can only smell one type of incense, like from an aroma stick. The scent is completely different from what I expected.
I wonder why the TV has such a truncated pyramid shape? I can clearly smell leather, suede, lots of citrus, especially at the top, and in the base, it has a balsamic, vanilla note... I can also detect frankincense. But why aren't these notes mentioned in the pyramid? In the fragrance pyramid, all these notes are listed.
Overall, this perfume is something special for me, for a special occasion that hasn't come yet. Because I can't bring myself to wear it with a down jacket and sneakers, even if they're the most expensive ones. I'm waiting for the right moment and I sniff this elixir from the bottle in the meantime.
I initially bought Shalimar Cologne because I had heard persistently about its classic creosote (railroad ties) scent. Shalimar Cologne is undoubtedly beautiful, but Shalimar TV is simply mind-blowing. I can't break it down into notes, I just wear it and enjoy. I will definitely also buy the EDP (Eau de Parfum).
I bought a 50ml bottle of fragrance from ES. The initial notes remind me of "Zvezdochka" for about 5 minutes, and then it develops into a beautiful bouquet. On my warm skin, the longevity is around 3 hours, as many perfumes tend to fade quickly. Those who want to try it, go ahead and you won't regret it. It's a must-have in your collection!
P.S. My husband is crazy about it.
I blindly purchased this product and it turned out to be a perfect match for me. It has a beautiful, deep, and comforting scent without being overly sweet. At first, it smells like a lemon cake, with hints of incense and leather in the background.
The scent is ambiguous, quite sweet, with a slightly noticeable aroma of incense. There is no association with the East. However, its longevity is weak.
This fragrance is perfect for colder weather, with a delicate powdery scent. Unfortunately, I don't feel it on my skin. However, it doesn't last very long.
I received my order. Thank you for the gift. It's nice... I checked the batch code and barcode, everything is clear. The scent is simply amazing, I don't know how to describe it in order to convey my exact feelings, but I'll try. I got the 50ml version. On my nose, I can clearly smell bergamot, cedar, mandarin, frankincense, and musk. I will apply this fragrance now and go for a walk with my son. I really want to wear it for a autumn stroll. I definitely recommend it, as I only ordered it based on reviews and I didn't make a mistake. I previously had a sample of Guerlain Shalimar Parfum Initial and I liked it, so I decided to take a risk because you can't not have such a fragrance in your collection. Yes, since I wasn't familiar with it before, I chose the classic version in eau de toilette, but I think I'll also try the perfume version. Definitely get it, you won't regret it.
The fragrance is lovely and I really liked it! However, I was very disappointed with the longevity of the perfume. I can only smell it on myself for a couple of hours, and then it completely disappears. The scent doesn't stay on clothes either. It's quite unpleasant.
Wonderful perfume!
I own Shalimar Cologne and recently purchased this TV fragrance. If we compare these two options, Shalimar Cologne is definitely more feminine, while TV is more unisex.
The longevity of TV on my cool skin is about half a day, after which only a subtle incense note remains.
The fragrance is beautiful. There is no need to describe it, as it has already been described a hundred times. The composition of the scent greatly influences one's mood: it gives confidence, romance, and passion.
To understand and love it, one needs to be independent from stereotypes. If it feels suffocating and harsh to you, then label all spices and ethers as suffocating and harsh.
Many people have complaints about frankincense. Guerlain Perfume House is not to blame for the fact that in our countries, Orthodox churches smell like frankincense. And for our people, the final notes of this fragrance evoke corresponding associations.
I received the package very quickly, thank you to the store! The fragrance is new to me, my daughter had it and I got curious about it, but it has a strong incense scent, which is not my preference.
I received my 30ml bottle today! It's an absolute masterpiece, a classic. Everything is as it should be, 100% original. There's no point in describing this scent. It's like telling a hungry person about delicious food. If you've never tried it, it's better to get a sample or try it in a store. It's a shame they didn't include a sample or any other gift. After all, it's thanks to samples that we discover new fragrances and other products.
I received a sample of this fragrance. I didn't like it at all, as it was heavy, cloying, and overwhelming. In the first few minutes of application, I could sense some distant notes of freshness, but then they disappeared, leaving behind just a suffocating blend of smells. My husband, mother, and those around me shared the same opinion. Maybe I haven't "grown up" to appreciate this scent, but it seems that neither have others. I used it once and immediately had to wash my clothes, as there was no other way to get rid of the smell. However, the longevity of the fragrance was surprisingly impressive. :)
Sharp, tasteless, and thankfully not long-lasting fragrance!
