A veritable essence of femininity. Elegance, sensuality, subtlety, feminine influence. Inspired by an oriental love story, Shalimar is the dazzling essence of a woman who is endlessly desirable & forever desired. Like her, Shalimar is at once sublime & intimate. Suave & luscious, this elegantly sensual & undeniably attractive perfume expresses itself in multiple & astonishing facets depending on the moment, the skin or the hour. Shalimar is the essence of femininity. Like all legendary elixirs, it springs from the basin of a magic fountain. The curves of the bottle evoke a gentle roundness while the transparent blue stopper recalls the eternal water fountains of the gardens of Shalimar. Inside the clear glass bottle emblazoned in gold, the mythic perfume glistens with a secret flame. Fragrance Description. Soft oriental Voluptuous, sensual, spellbinding Tonic top notes of fresh flowers & bergamot are calmly intrepid. Like the savvy disorder of rumpled silk sheets, powdery notes of iris, jasmine & rose suggest or promise sensual embraces. The creamy softness of addictive vanilla, the penetrating charm of iris, the balmy roundness of opoponax & the gourmand warmth of Tonka bean orchestrate an intimate symphony of scent for languorous interludes. Perfumer's Secret. Perfume, which is also called an Extract, is the most concentrated & therefore the most faithful version of a perfume. Created to be in osmosis with the skin, an Extract creates a unique alchemy upon contact with the skin & expresses itself differently on every woman. A few drops applied on the inside of the wrists & elbows, at the base of the neck, at the roots of the hair or in the hollow of the décolleté will reveal their presence with the movements of their wearer & the passage of time without ever becoming overpowering.
