Shalimar

What can I even say about this bergamot vanilla incense scent that has not been said before?  It is an institution, a warm, glorious institution.  This is a bit of history that belongs to the world.  It is sexy and comforting, old fashioned and timeless.  The opening is sharp and divisive and you might think you don’t like it, but let it settle, give it time, let the interplay of incense and vanilla come into the main.  It is a true Guerlain masterpiece.

Even if you don’t want to own a bottle this is a perfume you must smell in your life, it is a classic of French perfumerie and to wear it is to wear history.
