    Too powdery. My co-worker bathed herself in it. Every time I smell it - I get the vision of a bleached blond in mommy jeans who doesnt feel she is worth a nice fragrance.

    Nice bottle but the scent smells to me like a cross between Lemon Pledge, baby powder, vanilla and the infamous Guerlainade note. Definately not a keeper.

    Probably the best parfum bottle ever! Like others i really wanted to like it but it is very early 20th century Parisian cafe....smokey, smokey, rich and....smokey! Looks very nice on my vanity...

    This is one of the few perfumes that I feel that history and associations bear on my feelings about it. I bought a bottle of this with my first paycheck in 1972 at the Navy Exchange. I had no idea...

    Another staple for me, I always have a bottle of Shalimar. It's another "sex bomb" fragrance for me, that men really respond to. It's also my Mom's signature scent, so that may explain why I was...

    Another great classic. I sincerely hope the people at Guerlain won't kill it by "reformulating" it, like they did with Mitsouko. There ought to be a law against reformulating scents. :(

    I am normally quite sensitive to perfumes in that they can make my eyes sting... and then there's the urge I get to vomit when women drench themselves in some god awful crap and it's 105 degrees...

    I received a small GWP sized bottle from someone and was pretty excited to see what all the Shalimar hype was about. I kid you not, this turned straight to burning tires on my skin. My skin hates...

    I tend to gravitate towards winter fragrances and this is no different. A lovely timeless composition of an oriental top with a creamy and powdery vanilla at its base. I originally had a vintage...

    ETA: Since both my mother AND my father like it on BOTH of their skins, I have to concede that it is my own perverse hide that has led to the unfortunate conclusion reached in my earlier review....

    This is such a classic scent- yes, it reminds me of Mom or Grandma, but in a good way. I know why they wore it all of the time! It dries down to a powdery yet sophisticated finish on me, and I...

    This scent is from my mother's perfume tray....old fragrance, not new, and has an "over the top" grandmother/like scent. NO demension and too heavy....not young and complex.
