Shalimar Cologne

Shalimar Cologne is a bright, effervescent interpretation of Guerlain's iconic Shalimar, designed for summer wear and modern elegance. It opens with a sparkling blend of citrus—lemon, grapefruit, bergamot, and lime—delivering a sweet, juicy, and refreshingly clean aroma that feels like a lemon meringue tart or freshly squeezed juice. The middle notes of freesia, jasmine, and rose introduce a soft, powdery floral character that enhances the gourmand quality without overpowering it. As it dries down, a light vanilla and white musk base emerges, balanced with orris for a delicate, airy powder effect. The result is a refined, youthful, and wearable scent that retains the Shalimar DNA while being significantly lighter and less animalic than the original. On skin, it offers moderate sillage and long-lasting performance—lasting 8 to 12 hours, depending on the application and skin chemistry—making it a standout choice for warm days or office settings. The fragrance feels polished and modern, evoking a sense of quiet confidence, as if a lady in a Parisian salon has just stepped into the room with a subtle but charming touch of elegance. It’s particularly well-suited for those who love Shalimar but find the original too heavy, leather-heavy, or overwhelming.
