I'm always into orientals, so I knew Shalimar was around. I didn't dare to wear it. I need to deserve to wear an iconic perfume like this one. This isn't your regular perfume that you buy after one...

I bought this on a holiday to Paris, in the flagship store. It was expensive as I got the vintage perfume in a beautiful glass bottle, but has lasted for a long time as one only needs a few...

I bought this perfume after reading what others said about it, and I love it! It's such an elegant fragrance, it smells amazing! The first time I wore it I wad afraid it was going to stay peppery...

This is not a review of modern Shalimar. For that, I would defer to lipgloss junkies review below. This is a review of vintage Shalimar EdC, clock disk bottle, metal screw cap, perhaps from the...

It's one of my favorite perfumes. For me it smells like powder, a vintage powder. I adore it and have never come across anything like it. It's non intrusive and comforting, and mixes with the skin...

Nothing cheers me up more than Shalimar, it is luxurious and decadent and my absolute most favourite scent ever. I wish the bottle was still the vintage (or extrait) version. Guerlain has an...

I tried this at the store one day in a bid to see what this classic fragrance did for me. At first it has a medicinal smell and I thought to myself "why would anyone want this as a fragrance?"....

This is for the Eau de Cologne concentration: I'm wearing this today and am absolutely in love. I decided to go with the cheaper 'lighter' Shalimar to start with as I'd tested the edt and edp in...

This is a true classic, it's been around for nearly a century. In the past fragrances were much bolder than what is popular today. Initially this scent hits with a clove like incense note which...

This is one of my signature scents. When I first apply it it in EDP, it doesn't smell that great. But if I wait 15-20 minutes, wow! It changes. It's this beautiful powdery amber vanilla that smells...

Typical example of a fragrance that you need to let grow on you before you can fully appreciate it! Fist time I tried this... a very strong, very dirty, almost bitter vanillic leather aroma hit me...

I love vanilla, and was excited to try this after reading all the fuss about what a classic it is. But honestly... ugh! How does anyone smell vanilla in this? To me it smells exactly like baby...

There's a reason this perfume has been very popular for nearly a century. It's completely timeless, and really damn good. Sophisticated, sexy, glamorous, Shalimar is all of that. I'm a vanilla...

After reading all the endearing positive reviews of Shalimar (here and at other websites), I just had to smell it for myself. I went to Macy's just to try it. It's very strong. Overpowering for...

While I do not have a bottle currently I will repurchase soon. I forgot about this classic until I came across someone wearing it the other day. It was as I remember quite intoxicating in a...

Of all the classic fragrances that hail from the Roaring '20s, Guerlain Shalimar and Chanel Bois des Iles are probably the only ones I reach for and would repurchase if I ever ran out, even though...

Shalimar is so womanly and elegant. It is a meticulously groomed white Persian cat lounging on a maroon satin pillow. Luxurious, mysterious, beautiful and soft, quiet and endlessly alluring in...

I have heard of Shalimar for years but never smelt it or bought a bottle until recently. It is beautiful and long lasting. Smells to me of Baby powder with a touch of Musk which I like. Definitely...

Ok, so I had to come back and edit my original review. After putting this on, and letting it settle on my skin, it was pure heaven! It started off as a not so great first impression...but over...

I don't know why I thought I wanted to try this but I'm sorry I did. It smelled good in the store on the test strip. So I bought it and sprayed it on the way home. It was fine for maybe 10...
