Warning: I am only reviewing the vintage Shalimar. That wonder of a perfume made pre-1970's. It must be a bottle found in the original packaging, kept in a cool place. Yes, this is a rare creature...

i was so looking forward to this one, as it was described by many as lemony vanilla cake. Instead I found it to be a potent, artifical and perfumey. I cannot detect any lemon and it smells almost...

Love this but also prefer the older product. Men do love Shalimar, every time I wear it someone tells me.

A masterpiece in perfumery, doubtless. I can simply say that this is a classic, an all time favourite – best results in winter, though, as happens with many orientals. I agree with the...

This is a perfume that I know I am supposed to love; seems like everyone else does but for the life of me everytime I smell it I am disappointed. I know that it's a classic but for my money L'Heure...

This is another signature scent that is associated with women of a certain age and era, not unlike Chanel no 5 or Opium. I became familiar with Shalimar in the late 80's early 90's from three women...

I have to admit, when I first sampled Shalimar I hated it. Tried it again and I absolutely LOVE THIS PERFUME!!! Almost to the brink of obsession. Intoxicating and warm this morphs on the skin all...

Chanel No. 5 may be the classic fragrance of fashion, but Shalimar is the quintessential fragrance of LOVE. Shalimar is probably the finest vanilla-based perfume of all time. I've never met anyone...
