I got a great deal on this at scentiments. 1.7 ounce was $22.00!!! Can't beat that and I have to say, I love it!!! I can't wear the original shalimar, major migraine, but this one is so nice and...

I am so glad I finally found this fragrance! Everyone has been raving about it and I see why. It starts with a nice lemony top note and then fades into a lovely not too heavy powdery scent. Not...

I have never been able to wear the original Shalimar, it always gave me a headache. However, this works and I love it. I usually do not like anything with citrus notes but these seem to not bother...

A lighter--lemon scented-- version of the classic vanilla oriental scent. This can be worn during day or night. For an EDT, it wears well...and I'm one who has a hard time keeping scents on my...

I have been a fan of Shalimar ever since I was about 4 years old. I couldn't wait until I was old enough to wear this beautiful perfume! I adore both versions but wear Shalimar Light for day...

Blah - the light version of Shalimar takes away all the charm of the real Shalimar. This is just a plain lemon/vanilla scent, with none of Shalimar's sexiness. The bottle is the shape of the...

Last night I tested Shalimar Eau Legere, and woweee, where has this one been all my life? This is Shalimar perfected for me. Very light, lemony top notes, with the Shalimar scent still there,...

I haven't tried Shalimar in years but after trying this new version, I am tempted. I remember the original being too strong and nauseating, but my changing tastes and body chemistry have me...

The original Shalimar even in its parfum form just doesn't work with my insane chemistry. I am quite a fan of Guerlain in general and am aware that there are critics who believe that Guerlain...

Lemon meringue pie. Citrusy version of original Shalimar, clean and fresh. Non-offensive, but not sexy or special because it smells exactly like homemade lemon meringue pie.

Even though I love the original Shalimar I received a sample of Shalimar Light and thought, what the heck I'll give it a try. And, to my surprise, I really really liked it! However, the reason I...

The original Shalimar is too strong for me, so I decided to give this one a try. After few minutes, I realized that this smelled exactly like my L'Occitane Orange Blosson spray. Identical. No...

I adore the original; this, not so much. Made me a bit queasy, actually, and I couldn't wait to wash it off. I just got a sort of cheap and generic vibe from it. Shalimar needs no improvement, imo!

Why did they in Guerlain decide to do something like that: to water down THE fragrance like Shalimar, to make diluted, "plastic", synthetic version of it!? Diluted or not, this is not "light", it...

I have to preface this by saying I hate Shalimar. It reminds me of wearing Tabu and Shalimar in the late 1970s and don't want to go back there again but..I thought I would try Shalimar light. Maybe...

Love this fragrance, but it doesn't last very long on me. I got the body veil to layer with it. I couldn't smell it on me this morning, but the man at the shoe store told me I smelled wonderful...
