I received my favorite fragrance
Shalimar - the scent of Istanbul. Unforgettable, enticing, and mind-blowing. ★
I have run out of Shalimar Initial and can't find it anywhere, they say it has been discontinued. Well, that's a shame. I bought this classic as a replacement. It is truly something. At first, it has a very sharp scent, I even thought it smelled like my grandfather's triple cologne. But after 30-40 minutes, it unfolds into an incredible aroma. I can't understand what notes it has, it is both fresh, sweet, and powdery, a very deep and iridescent scent. I just walk around and enjoy it. I asked my son, he said it has a very soft and warm smell, very pleasant. I can feel it on myself when I start moving, otherwise, I just blend in with it. Simply incomparable, very long-lasting. But I apply it 40 minutes before going out so that the initial notes settle a bit and it fully opens up. Special thanks to Makeup for the quick processing and delivery.
Thank you to the company for the quick response regarding the batch code. My first Shalimar is not only divinely beautiful but also very fresh!
I'm sorry, but these perfumes are not for me. I bought them after reading reviews. They smell like they're from my grandmother's trunk. I am disappointed.
By the way, this applies not only to Shalimar! Right now I am wearing Samsara and I am simply in a state of perfume ecstasy!!! I love this madness!!! I simply adore it!!! And age doesn't matter here! I have loved them for a long time and firmly! And it seems that these brands - Guerlain, Shalimar - have made me a perfume maniac! Thank you to the store for the opportunity to own these Perfume Masterpieces!))
I have read the reviews, and personally, I don't understand how such masterpieces can receive bad reviews?!?! Chanel, Guerlain - these are classics that one needs to grow into or have good taste! It is a masterpiece! There are no tires or anything like that! It is a divine elixir in a bottle!!! As for the toilet water, it didn't really please me.... But I am to blame myself, I know that the toilet version is not for me... But the perfume water - it's superb! Gentleness! Femininity! And even those people who usually suffocate from my perfumes appreciated this one! Divine Elixir!
I am currently on my honeymoon with Shalimar. Head over heels in love... This fragrance is like a rich pyramid, and the way it smells on the skin is incomparable - sweet, delicate, and very luxurious.
It's not a girly scent. It embodies femininity to its deepest depths. You can feel the elegance and ode to mature femininity in it. I adore it...
Once in the reviews, I came across a phrase about it, saying that it's like a lover - you enjoy it alone, but you won't take it out in public...
I bought the sample in May. I tried to sniff it a few times - not my thing, that's it! Just one smell of rubber, that's all. I put it aside and forgot about it. And now I came across it again, in November, when it got colder outside - and I didn't recognize it. Where did the burnt tires go? I don't feel any rubber at all. It's like lemon in syrup, like mulled wine, I don't know, a cozy scarf that you want to wrap yourself in... From this, I conclude that (for me) it's a winter fragrance.
I am just delighted and fully agree that this perfume is a masterpiece. There is nothing more to add to the already positive reviews, but one simply needs to have refined taste in order to love and enjoy this multifaceted aroma!
Bergamot, patchouli - a handful! This fragrance is highly therapeutic and perfect for cold weather. It possesses a rich and intense aroma that is sure to captivate retro fragrance enthusiasts.
I believe that perfume has no age. There are stereotypes, associations, and impressions. And Shalimar is a masterpiece that has been reinterpreted and filtered for almost 100 years now. Infinitely beautiful, contradictory, and prestigious.
I recommend starting with the Eau de Parfum version, and if it seems too heavy, move towards younger soufflés and illuminators. Intense versions are sweeter, Initials are more powdery. Colognes and EDTs are more vibrant. If it doesn't click right away, it simply means that the time hasn't come yet.
After reading reviews, I will not purchase this perfume again.
And thank you for the little gift, it's always nice when something is added to a purchase. Also, regarding the perfume, it reminds me of something, certain notes, but I can't remember what.
I am thrilled. I have been contemplating whether to purchase this product or not, as there are mixed reviews, some loving it while others complain about a strong rubber smell that is unbearable. Personally, I am a fan of it. The fragrance is perfect for autumn - sensual and cozy. As for the rubber smell, I wouldn't have even noticed it if I hadn't read about it. Of course, if you actively search for it, you might find something similar.
I bought this as a gift for my wife, and she really loved it. And indeed, the scent is luxurious. The makeup is always excellent, very fast delivery, and they even included a bonus gift - amazing.
The perfume itself is retro. It smells like vintage perfume. It reminds me of my grandmother's youthful perfume. Think carefully if you're really ready to wear something like this. I'm a fragrance lover, but even for me, it's a little too much.
Regarding this particular purchase on makeup: the cap is cheap, plastic, and wobbly. I will never believe that this is an original. I swear, Guerlain doesn't make such cheap stuff. It's like buying sneakers with the Abibas logo. Therefore, this will be my first and last purchase of expensive perfumes on this website. I don't want to waste any more money on garbage.
The fragrance is definitely unique and requires testing before purchasing. I have been sniffing them for a month already. The perfume is not modern. Nowadays, all perfumes are lighter, floral, fruity, fresh, or sweet. Therefore, if all your perfumes are like that, these are unlikely to appeal to you. Shalimar is different. It is unlike anything else. For me, it smells like a fur coat and a leather car interior. There is also a lot of incense. These perfumes are clearly not for young girls or for everyday wear. The scent is warm and sharp. Over time, it becomes slightly sweeter and the sharpness fades away. So, I will repeat, test them and only test them.
I find it very similar to Obsession Calvin Klein. The initial notes are identical, perhaps it's just my perception.
I just received my perfume. It is very beautiful, deep, and alluring in its scent. I will let it settle, and it will come alive with even higher notes.
Great scent, thank you so much! The package arrived very quickly. I first discovered this fragrance when my acquaintance bought it, and I wanted to buy it for myself. The smell is exactly the same as the one I first sniffed. I bought it on sale and I am extremely satisfied. I highly recommend it to everyone.
Horrible. Absolutely nothing in common with the description. I wonder who writes positive reviews????
The scent is like rubber slightly doused in frankincense. And that's it!!!
A complete waste. And this is not the first time I've received poor quality perfume.
This really touched my heart! I'm so happy with the gift! Now I want to try out the other variations too!
I became familiar with these legendary perfumes through online reading and listening. And now I have decided to try them myself. I really liked the scent, as I immediately noticed the aroma of Indian spices and black pepper, which I really enjoy. This perfume is timeless. It is rich, enveloping, and magical, just like the story it is dedicated to. According to legend, it was in the Shalimar Gardens in India that the characters of "One Thousand and One Nights" fell in love: Princess Mumtaz Mahal and Shah Jahan. It is a magical and captivating journey into the unknown world. Thank you, Makeup.
Thank you for the flawless work of the store's team! Shalimar is magnificent!
I purchased this product in December 2020. It is absolutely not long-lasting! I had the same experience with Guerlain L'Heure Bleue (I bought it here around 2018). In all fairness, I must admit that the same fate befell me when I bought Chanel No. 5 (not here). I bought a tester and, honestly, I reassured myself that the lack of longevity was due to purchasing a tester. At that time, I couldn't think of anything else. But now, as a longtime fan, admirer, and most importantly, a longtime consumer of French perfumes (since the late 80s), I can say that suddenly many previously familiar and well-studied fragrances have become less long-lasting. I regularly come across negative reviews. I see myself and my emotions reflected in other reviews regarding the lack of longevity. I think it's not the store's fault, but rather changes in the fragrance formulas. But the fact remains. So... I've put Shalimar in a corner for now – maybe a miracle will happen, and it will improve???? For now, that's all I can hope for. My rating is based on the lack of longevity!
Beautiful and expensive fragrance, a true classic. Thanks to Maykapu for creating it.
I cannot say anything about the quality of the product itself, as it is a gift for New Year. However, I can say that the order was executed very promptly and carefully.
I ordered 2 Guerlain fragrances as a gift for my mom - this one and Aqua Allegoria Bergamot Calabria. Thank you, Mkjkapu, for the timely delivery as always. Both perfumes are original, and my mom is delighted.
A refined fragrance that I mainly apply on my wrist. If you are a fan of Prada Iris from the first release in 2009, you will also enjoy Shalimar. After the initial sharp notes fade away, I can still detect cocoa powder along with the powdery and incense elements.
I can only hear one thing: rubber... yuck.
This fragrance is very versatile and extraordinary. If we were to call it retro, it would be a non-standard retro that surpassed its time.
At first, it is indeed sharp - the citrus notes are too prickly and the cedar is strong. But if you wait a little while, it unfolds with warm powdery notes - patchouli, vanilla, rose, sandalwood... all of these blend together in a scent that reminds me of my mother's deep childhood memories, like her lipstick. However, vetiver, leather, and frankincense prevent it from completely drowning in this powdery sweetness.
This is how it settles on me. Cozy, spicy, and delicate. It envelops me and keeps me captivated for a very long time, although it is already close to the skin.
It is impossible to choose this perfume based on its notes or reviews. It is worth getting to know personally.
Dear, enveloping, iridescent, multifaceted scent....
I could hear so many things in it - incense, citrus, leather, tires... and the most surprising thing - a cinnamon bun )))
Love at first sniff! I can't hear any tires. This fragrance is multifaceted, iridescent, enveloping, sensuous, smoky, and leathery - it's all about it. My golden treasure. :)
A scent for a confident woman. It's very long-lasting - you can still smell it on the skin even after 24 hours! It stays on clothes until they are washed.
Shalimar doesn't get along with everyone, so it's definitely necessary to test it before buying!
A very feminine perfume. It has a rich and surprisingly modern scent, considering its age. Citrus and vanilla are the most prominent notes. The rest is deeply hidden and only occasionally reveals itself in the trail. Overall, it is a masterpiece for all times. A must-buy for collectors.
Upon first spraying, there is a strong smell of leather or rubber, which after about an hour starts to reveal a gentle and pleasant fragrance. It lasts long.
The words Shalimar and Guerlain sound like music! They are the Bach and Beethoven of the perfume world.
The stunning design of the bottle creates an impression that you are touching magic.
Do not rush to test the perfume when it just arrived. Let it "rest" until the next day. Spray it on your elbow crease and forget about it for at least half an hour. After that, a whole orchestra will play on your skin!
To better understand this fragrance, you need to remember that it is oriental. The scorching heat and luxury of palaces are present in this scent.
Incredible leather notes and stunning sweet vanilla. This fragrance is a legend, and it is full of royal dignity.
Shalimar (delivery from the EU) 50 ml. The fragrance is magical, I would love to try other scents from Shalimar, it's just a pity they didn't include a tester.
I went to them for a long time... I listened carefully, holding my breath... A strange herbal infusion that hits the nose at first, it's like a distracting maneuver before the mind-blowing magical chord of unearthly pleasure! Nothing like it, intoxicating! No words!!! This is the pinnacle of perfumery art!!! Love forever!!! Thank you to the store for original perfumes.
Finally, I received it and fell in love at first sniff. This is absolutely amazing! The scent turned out to be mine, and I believe it will be forever. Thank you, store.
This fragrance is enchanting and magnificent. I will definitely order more and try out other scents. Thank you to the store for the fast delivery.
"It is wonderful for me. There's no point describing it. Enough has already been said and written about it."
It is magnificent and perfect. The box does differ from the one in the photo, but the product did not cause any complaints.
I bought this fragrance without testing it first because I really wanted to own this masterpiece. The scent is very multifaceted and complex. It doesn't smell bad or repel me in any way. This fragrance is simply for true perfume connoisseurs and self-assured women. If you prefer something light in terms of fragrance, then this is not for you!
Now I also have Shalimar Eau de Parfum. Compared to the toilet water version, this one is more intense, assertive, if you will. It takes longer to unfold and holds the scent better. The final note is not very pleasant, which is not the case with the toilet water. The toilet water is still softer and rounder, more pleasant for me. I'm thinking, what could be causing such a finish? What ingredient could it be?
Enchanting and expensive fragrance. The bottom note didn't impress me much, but when they unfold, it's pure delight! This is definitely not for those who appreciate the scent of watermelon rind, etc. This is Shalimar, baby!
This is a wonderful high-quality perfume. Its longevity is around 10 hours on me. It opens with woody notes and frankincense, and although the vanilla is barely detectable, it is still present. This fragrance is more suitable for mature ladies, as it may be a bit heavy for those who prefer sweet scents. It is perfect for warming up in cold weather and transporting you to an Eastern bazaar. I would like to express my gratitude to the store for their quick service and pleasant price for authentic perfumes.
I am very satisfied! The perfume is complex, versatile, and lasts throughout the day. It is definitely worth testing, although some may find it overwhelming. I love the makeup for its excellent and affordable fragrance.
I really love this fragrance....thank you so much.
The fragrance is simply AMAZING!!!! Thank you, makeup.
I don't have any rubber on me, but from the very first notes, IT is beautiful. I was expecting more trash based on the reviews, but it is even too feminine for me. In terms of direction, it is similar to Juliette Has A Gun Citizen Queen.
I received my Shalimar today too. The first 15 minutes it has a strong rubber note, but then... leather, spices, and powder. This is definitely my scent. Thanks to Makeupu for the gift as well.
When I first encountered this fragrance, I was horrified by its heavy and sickly-sweet taste. Six months later, I decided to give it another chance, and now I can't get enough of it. The way it unfolds and plays on the skin is amazing. My child even says I smell like oranges now.
For me, Shalimar is spicy, warm, even hot, mature, passionate, mature, and solid. It revealed itself to me with spices, then with some vintage Soviet perfumes from my mother, and only then with powder - the real Soviet one. You have to understand it! I'm 35. I think I wouldn't have understood it earlier. Thanks to Makeup for the fast delivery and reliable packaging!
A masterpiece, indescribable, a scent not for everyone, a timeless history, and so on. All true! But for those who haven't experienced the aroma yet are trying to imagine how it could sound, I'll say without unnecessary epithets - it smells like compact powder.
I ordered Shalimar from this website for the second time, and this time they sent me a counterfeit product. Before this unfortunate experience, I was skeptical about the comments regarding the lack of originality of the products on the website, but now I understand that it is indeed possible. It's incredibly disappointing. I really liked the prices for makeup and the quality of service, but I don't want to take any more risks.
Everything is great without any options, both Shalimar and the delivery of the product are original. The scent is fantastic and long-lasting.
Oh, Shalimar, Shalimar! Yesterday I received my package, and in it were the long-awaited "Gardens of Love" perfume, which I ordered in a 90ml volume. What can I say, a fragrance with almost a 100-year history, a masterpiece, a classic, but definitely for those who appreciate it! My first impression of the perfume was, oh my god, what is this, did I make a mistake with the choice of scent? But no, it can't be, this is the legendary Shalimar by Guerlain! For me, the fragrance starts too sharply, brightly, and forcefully, with some unclear "rubber notes" coming out, but over time, it unfolds incredibly beautifully on my skin. The scent is dense, rich, resinous, definitely not for everyone, the key is not to overdo it with this perfume, 1-2 sprays will be more than enough. The longevity of the fragrance is simply amazing, I applied it to my wrist fold in the morning, and now I'm writing this comment, it's almost 11 PM, and a subtle scent of Shalimar still lingers around me. As for the authenticity of the perfume, there are no doubts, everything is done and packaged qualitatively, I checked the batch code, the production date is February 2017. Thank you, MakeUp, for being there, and also for the gift - a sample of Guerlain La Petite Robe Noir perfume. I'm deducting one star only for the sharp beginning of the scent, everything else is superb!
I hesitated for a long time before trying this product. I am a fan and I own Initial and Initial L'Eau, but this classic Shalimar is something else. I can't even explain or understand why, but it seems like I have known it my whole life. It's a paradox because it's impossible. As soon as I received the package, I couldn't resist opening it and experiencing its warmth, comfort, and delight. Everything about it is perfect, just like my makeup. Thank you. Also, this fragrance is not for those who prefer lighter scents; it might be overwhelming.
How long-lasting it is! With just one spray, you could kill a bear!)) I am really happy with it, but it doesn't wash off, I mean, I happily sprayed it three times, and oh gods, I couldn't wash it off in the shower, it's still holding up, which is quite impressive, around 24 hours! I'm not kidding, not only I can smell it, obviously I went a bit overboard, but still. Overall, I am satisfied!))
