    Shalimar is one of the most significant fragrances of my lifetime, and I've been through several bottles, including refills of the refillable bottle I used to have. I still have it, in all...

    I am rating the modern formulation here since I never manage to win an old sample on ebay ( but I live in hope! :) ) The bottle is prima, and what's in it started with a blast of musk ( read dust )...

    Shalimar evokes such pleasurable memories for me. And it's scent is so deliciously decadently devious. Guerlain designed this perfume to be that way. It is a woman's scent. It is for those who...

    This is a classic that has been around since 1925! My mom gave this precious bottle to me in it's little metallic blue box for my 16th birthday, years ago. I have repurchased it since then like...

    I have now tried Shalimar in EDT, EDP and Extrait formulations and the Extrait gets high marks from me. The EDT to me on my skin smells like band-aids and lemon (yuck) ... the EDP to me loses the...

    Yes, Shalimar definitely wins in a fight against Chanel No. 5. Shalimar is just as complex as No. 5 (maybe even more so) and lacks the headache inducing aldehydes. (I detect a low concentration of...

    Oriental perfumes are something I grew up with, and to me, heady oriental notes are more nostalgic than 'exotic'. While Shalimar is a unique perfume with a strong personality, it is one of those...

    Some may argue that Chanel No. 5 is only iconic due to its marketing and image-- I do think it is exquisite, but not quite right for me. Too cold and regal, a bit too ubiquitous as well. But...

    I almost purchased this without actually smelling it because I'm a fool for spicy heavy wintery scents. I was in Ulta and took a quick sniff before grabbing it and I stumbled back a few feet. Now,...

    Warning: I never properly tried any vintage Shalimar, so this is a review on the current Shalimar (EDP and Parfum). If you want comparisons with pre-reform versions, please skip to another review....

    My very first perfume, for my 16th birthday. Wore it through early college--soft, elegant, complex, a training ground for my nose. Made me feel so adult. Over the years Guerlain changed Shalimar,...

    I can say this quite plainly: the teenage/early-20's version of myself disliked this scent immensely. I couldn't understand why this was so popular or famous, and even though part of me longed to...

    Another classic which I find to be very good, but not great. It was my nonna's signature scent, though, so it will always have a special place in my heart. It's a must for any perfume enthusiast's...

    I own Shalimar because I love its history and iconic status dating back to the 1920s. Being a curious perfume fan I just had to add it to my collection. The scent itself isn’t what I’d call a...
