    After reading all of the positive reviews for this fragrance, I was excited to test it while out shopping today. I excitedly took a whiff from the bottle, and... It was awful. Deciding to give the...

    oh this in fact dreamy. It sends me to far away places. It actually reminds me of my greatgrandmother, who was a very elegant and sophisticated lady. She loved this fragrance, so it has become a...

    I actually first caught a whiff of this on an older friend (who, by the way, is classy and refined). Now, I'm no fragrance expert; I don't even know what the heck is in this. All I know is that...

    Old lady scent my ass! This is one of the all time sexiest fragrances out there. When I was a kid, the line was that good girls didn't wear Shalimar. Wore it then, wear it now. My SO likes it...

    Anybody who tells you that this stuff is for old ladies, tell them to bite it. ;) I'm 18 and have managed to fall in love with Shalimar. It's ultra sensual, deep, and kicks Chanel No. 5 to the...

    Brilliant. One of the great classics. The oriental-type fragrance for evening wear. Sophisticated and extravagant. Why bother about trying anything else, if it's seduction and orientalism you're...

    I remember being told a number of years ago that Shalimar was only for "old ladies", and was encouraged to look at other fragrances when shopping at a local department store. Sadly, I never gave it...

    There is a reason that this is iconic... it's stood the test of time and has a wonderfully romantic history. To me, it's the quintessential French perfume -- I use it for special occasions and...

    Shalimar was launched in 1925 by Guerlain,one of the oldest perfume houses in the world (founded in 1828). It is a classy, refined fragrance, if not mythical. My mother wore this and it always...

    This is really an odd thing to say, but the smell reminds me of band-aids. There, I said it. I'm probably the only one who thinks so. I wanted to like it because of the beautiful,...

    The vanilla in this smells like plastic. I like a certain smokiness, but when it comes to Guerlain, I expect something better.

    The version of this I use is the eau de cologne, as I figured the higher strengths might be a bit much, as I do not like overpowering sweetness. I have to say I was impressed, especially...

    I've tried to like this, but haven't been successful. It smells great on other people - vanilla'ish and soft. On me, it's cloyingly sweet. All I get is powder...ridiculously sweet powder. I wish I...

    I wanted to like this perfume, I really did. I sampled some at the drugstore. With some fragrances, you feel a little ambiguous about them. Not with this one. I hated it. I thought it smelled...

    I have tried so much to like Shalimar but I just can't. The first 30 minutes it smells absolutely horrible to me, very citrusy with other notes that I can't identify but simply hate. After 30 mins...

    (EDT) This scent for me represents new, first love - though bittersweet. I wore a good quality, exact dupe of this when I was a teenager. I lived in a small town and the only fragrances that were...
