As someone who cannot wear normal Shalimar (I amp the incense note), and has never smelled any other flanker and probably never will, I present a completely unbiased review. I'm aware that Parfum...

Finally there is a nice softer version of Shalimar! I love Guerlain fragrances, but could never enjoy Shalimar. This is a great scent. I'm a guy and I love to wear it! It doesn't smell that...
