Guerlain Shalimar

Guerlain Shalimar is a legendary ambery (formerly oriental) fragrance characterized by a sparkling citrus opening, a powdery floral heart, and a deep, resinous vanilla base.

Top Notes: Bergamot, lemon, mandarin orange, and cedar. The bergamot is often described as "overdosed" to provide a fresh, zesty introduction.
Middle Notes: Iris, jasmine, rose, patchouli, and vetiver. These notes create a powdery and classic floral heart that balances the initial citrus.
Base Notes: Vanilla, tonka bean, incense, leather, opoponax (sweet myrrh), civet, sandalwood, and musk. Vanilla is the cornerstone of the scent and a key part of the famous "Guerlinade" signature accord.
