    I wanted to love this so much... I love the history behind the perfume, but I just can't pull this off. I don't know if it's the jasmine or the incense, but it smells like sweaty, spit covered...

    If you love Shalimar like I do, here's a little trick. Spray some perfume, or whatever you have, on a piece of cotton, put it on the back of a room fan in whatever room you want and your entire...

    I love this perfume so much. On me it starts off like really powdery floral and then it melts into a gorgeous, spicy vanilla with a hint of citrus. Shalimar is very feminine, but with a sharp edge....

    I love warm, deep, sensual, amber-y/vanilla Orientals, so Shalimar, naturally, ticks all the right boxes for me. I don't get any gasoline, rubber, "chain-smoking 1920s prostitute" or "small-town...

    An elderly woman, still beautiful, once said to me that "every woman should wear Shalimar at least once in her life." This is a truly beautiful scent. While removed from its former glory, like...

    Shalimar is my favorite fragrance. It is best experienced in parfum form, and I wonder how many of the reviewers who dislike it have only smelled the EDT. This classic and lovely scent definitely...

    This smells awful to me. There is nothing young or fresh about this scent. Old ladyish is correct. I also don't find anything remotely sensual about this scent. It just says "old" to me. I find...

    This should be called "raunch". There's nothing chic, sultry or alluring about it at all. It is offensive and putrid!

    I don't think I would even buy this when I'm older. It makes you smell old too. The first time I used this was in 4th grade because my mom had it laying around, and during recess some kid said...

    *Edit* Tried the eau de parfum yesterday and I must say, I like the deep, smoky, richness that it settles into, but I'm still catching whiffs of something acrid in it . Maybe it's the Iris. The...
