    Shalimar is the only perfume I'll ever wear! My mother forbade me to wear it when I was younger because guys couldn't resist it. I saved all my babysitting money to buy my first bottle. Mom was...

    Oh, how I adore this beautiful fragrance when I hold the delicate bottle up to a nostril or two. But sadly enough, this smells like lemon pledge on me! :( I am really disappointed that it makes...

    Smells very strong when you first spray, but it does dry down soft and lovely, to a powdery vanilla, spicy scent. I wore this in my teens and rediscovered it again. I would say it is a classic,...

    I used to work in a grocery store frequented by old ladies who all wore this "perfume" along with another terrible one - "Ysatis". It smells brutal. It's so strong and it sticks in your nose for...

    I guess I just do not understand classic perfumery and hate to poo on ol' Jacques Guerlain, but Heatherbell70's review of Shalimar is of the funniest things I've ever read on MUA. I agree with her,...

    GOD, this stinks! I tried to like it, I like the idea of it, but it's gross! To me, this smells like the cake of deoderant that people used to put into diaper pails to cover up the smell of dirty...

    Very feminine, mysterious, powdery.Dries down into a warm, woody vanilla. Lovely fragrance.

    The pure parfum is one of the most wonderful fragrances. On me, the EDT and EDP are harsh and loud. The parfum is soft, smooth well blended and light smelling. In the parfum the bergamot shines...

    My Shalimar story: Way back in 9th or 10th grade english I had a teacher, she dressed sooo plainly but smelled so good. I sat in the front row (alphabetical order). I could smell her every time...

    oriental, sensual, modern, classic and warm. lots of sensuality, feminity and life...not one of those current dull floral, "happy" boring lifeless watery scents.

    This is the only fragrance my mother wears (and I've spent a small fortune keeping her supplied - I think she drinks shots of it) and it's my favorite as well, although I tend to only wear it for...

    At first spritz it's unbearable. If you're patient, dry-down is *exactly* baby wipes and smoke. Yes, I know it's a classic, and I agree that it's pleasant and probably smells fabulous on some, but...

    Very warm and inviting...I love the smell. The only problem is that my husband calls me "granny" whenever I wear it.

    As I have gotten older (31) I have really learned to appreciate this perfume. It is a beautiful perfume and a classic perfume. I just can't imagine why anyone with "good taste" would not enjoy...

    Enveloping, elegant, complex, romantic, and probably the most beautiful perfume I've ever encountered. It's both soft and sexy. Guerlain perfumes are definitely not for wallflowers or women who...

    Eeeeeck! It may be a beautiful scent on others but on me, it smelled like one of those oriental herbal mecine store. I almost broke my leg running to the bathroom to wash it off. I lathered and...

    Shalimar is a fairly heavy scent, but very exotic and alluring!! You have to wait a few minutes after applying it to get a true sense of its fragrance, since it has a very strong alcohol smell at...
