Guerlain - Shalimar eau de toilette (EDT)
SHALIMAR - A veritable essence of femininity
Shalimar is the first oriental perfume in history.
The Eau de Toilette wake is characterised by bergamot, iris and vanilla notes. It leaves an unforgettable memory and 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 FRAGRANCE
Voluptuous, sensual, spellbinding.
A flight of flowers and bergamot whips up the top notes with a breeze of freshness. The heart is warmed by enveloping and delicately powdery notes of iris, jasmine and rose. To conclude, the presence of vanilla, rounded balmy notes and the gourmand warmth of tonka bean orchestrate a sensual symphony for the dry-down.
SHALIMAR, AN ODE TO SENSUALITY
Guerlain’s legendary fragrance, Shalimar, is a hauntingly sensual, timeless scent in an iconic bottle symbolizing a mythic, incandescent love story. The first ambery fragrance overdosed with vanilla, embodies intoxicating femininity and a hint of the forbidden.
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.
