Guerlain Shalimar Eau de Parfum 50ml Spray

Guerlain Shalimar Eau de Parfum 50ml Spray is the legendary 1925 feminine fragrance from the iconic French perfume house Guerlain. Composed by Jacques Guerlain, Shalimar is one of the most legendary oriental fragrances in perfumery history — built around the historic Indian love story of Shah Jahan and the Shalimar Gardens of Lahore. The eau de parfum interpretation brings a deeper, more sumptuous character to the iconic original.

About Guerlain Shalimar

Guerlain is the legendary French perfume house founded in 1828 by Pierre-François Pascal Guerlain. Now part of LVMH and under the artistic direction of in-house perfumer Thierry Wasser, Guerlain remains one of the most respected names in classical and modern perfumery. Shalimar, launched in 1925 and composed by Jacques Guerlain (grandson of the founder), is widely regarded as the first true oriental fragrance — and one of the most influential perfumes ever created.

Character

Shalimar opens with a sun-bright burst of bergamot, lemon and mandarin — luminous and Mediterranean. The heart introduces a refined floral bouquet of iris, jasmine and rose softened by tonka bean, before settling into the legendary Shalimar base — a sumptuous, sensual oriental accord of vanilla, opoponax, amber, Peru balsam, leather, sandalwood, musk and a hint of civet. The result is the definitive oriental feminine signature — sumptuous, sensual and unmistakably iconic.

Who it's for

This 50ml eau de parfum is for fans of classical, legendary oriental feminine fragrances and Guerlain loyalists. Particularly well-suited to evening wear, special occasions and as a confident, classical signature for those who appreciate the historic depth of perfumery's most iconic oriental composition.
