    I never saw anything wrong with Shalimar per se, but I didn't see it as a "me" fragrance, and given how smokey and ash-like I found it, I couldn't understand how it was so popular with the public! ...

    You are wearing a work of art, an exquisite masterpiece. No, it is not subtle or light or fresh or clean. It is richly floral, with some chypre and vanilla. Perhaps you will only wear it for...

    I so wanted to love this! After reading how sexy and sensual this fragrance is supposed to be, all i got on me was "old-lady" smell. So sad for me! :)

    I tried this on my wrist, in the hopes of liking it and adding this classic to my perfume collection. All it smelled like was talcum powder, and not a good one. I didn't get any vanilla note from...

    One word summarizes this scent: Divine. It's a heady mix of vanilla and patchouli. I usually detest patchouli scents, but Shalimar has it right. The EDT smells a bit rancid, but the EDP wears...

    I always thought this was a heavy, vanillic oriental, solely for those who like foody smells. Well, I put some on today, and I was really surprised to find a lovely, soft citrus-vanilla oriental,...

    This is a warm romantic scent and you definitely should get samples and check it against your body chemistry. The best bet is to splurge and go for either the Eau de Parfum or preferably the...

    I wore Shalimar in my twenties and loved it, so sexy! I don't know if it is my sense of smell has changed or they drastically changed it from the original (which many companies have done) I was in...

    Someone please explain why this is a classic fragrance. I just don't get it. It's soooo strong and heavy. If I were to give a classic fragrance as a gift (as I would never wear Shalimar on my own...

    I have fond memories of this perfume. My mother always wore this whenever she got dressed up for an evening out. She was French and Shalimar was her favorite! It smells very exotic and special yet...

    This is like taking a hot bath that makes you feel sexy. Shalimar is definitely the best vanilla-based perfume ever made.

    Very heavy and doesn't seem to have a distinctive smell to it. I don't really know how to describe it. I just don't like it.

    I only tried the EDT of this before and it never grew on me. The top note has a very distinct burnt rubber type of smell that I could never get over, and on the EDT, it lingered forever. I...

    One of my old favourites. I tend to buy this when the newer fragrances coming out all smell like kiddie drugstore perfumes(which seems to be a lot lately). However, this fragrance is probably best...

    I get hot pepper on the opening of this ,very spicy . I then drop down to a vanilla, grounded sweet powder. I like this in the winter,it is more oriental than floral on me . It is long lasting...

    Sweet, feminine, old-fashioned. Nice to get as a gift. Chemistry is everything,though. What smells great on one is purely awful on another.

    I usually like soft musks and orientals, but this did not work on my body chemistry at all. Way too loud and unpleasant for me. I prefer a small spritz of Guerlain's Samsara instead, which I find...
