    This Guerlain classic was truly awful on me (edt.) It must be down to my skin chemistry because there are so many wonderful reviews for it. It was so dry it was like vinegar, earthy and smoky. I...

    This was my absolute favorite of my mom's perfumes when I was little-- I used to tell her she smelled like "lemon cookies." I remember testing it on myself about 10 years ago and being very...

    Shalimar is a favourite to wear during autumn/winter. Its vanilla, tonka bean and patchouli notes are warm, sensual and create a very distinctive blend. I often wear it to work and often get...

    I love orientals but this one was not for me. Something in it strikes me as almost masculine, but that's just me. I will concede that this is a classic scent though and I have witnessed many an...

    I simply just dislike this in general. I found it strong and powdery and just unpleasant. It's just too much and is too classic smelling for my tastes. I don't doubt that some people may smell good...

    I, too, am reminded of Emeraude when I smell Shalimar - not a good thing, though Shalimar is not nearly as bad. I'm trying to figure out what smells so bad on me, because Shalimar smells wonderful...

    UPDATE 7/05: The initial note is rather medicinal on me but the drydown after a few minutes is beautiful. A sexy, warm, non-foody vanilla. It does remind me a bit of Emeraude but not as powdery.

    I had a moment of clarity this morning. (Yes, I do have them occasionally!) Coming out of the shower, feeling refreshed and ready to face the day, I reached for a tiny little bottle of Shalimar EdT...

    Shalimar is my HG fragrance. I have an EDP and it smells divine. The tope note (bergamot) disappears instantly on me and the warm,sexy and smokey vanilla takes over. I think it's a masterpiece!

    Shalimar is an ultimate classic. Unfortunately, while I love it, something about it goes sour on me when I actually wear it. Perhaps it is the bergamot, but this gets a very strange bitter smell...

    Mmmmmm.... I LOVE this. I see why it's such a classic perfume. It's incense-y with bergamot, iris, vanilla & powdery tonka beans. I have the EDT spray and it softens by the end of the day but...

    Okay...this must be one of those chemistry things because I was gagging when I put this on. I couldn't get it off fast enough. It smells like lemon pledge with a dash of pepper. Very loud to me. It...

    I don't smell vanilla, I smell a sour, old-fashioned scent that is a bit putrid. Awful.

    Makes me think of glossy-smooth black satin...or buttery kidskin leather. Smoky, hazy, seductive. More subtle than other orientals I've tried--no overdose of sweetness or spiciness. Works...
