    Shalimar belongs to the group of fragrances I used to wear during my first years in Paris. It was also my first move into the world of oriental scents. Above all, this fragrance is connected to...

    Shalimar has the essential qualities of a legendary perfume: it is romantic, mysterious, elegant, and has an unmatched "backstory" (like all Guerlain's, although I think Shalimar's is best). It's...

    This is the ultimate bombshell scent, whenever the Queen of Sheba mood strikes, it's Shalimar I grab! It's very powdery, heavy on the vanilla and a true mantrap... The body products are great, too.

    As many other have commented, Shalimar is musky and very very powdery fragrance with vanilla as the dominate note...not something that I would wear, but certainly worthy of being tried.

    Last year I was into the cream and perfume. What's happened to my chemistry? This year I prefer the powder and EDT. The scent is soft, full, mysterious and a tad nostalgic. Too much is a...

    Even though it is kind of geriatric, Shalimar is one of my all time favorites. It is a soft feminine floral, but not too flowery.

    Shalimar reminds me too much of the Johnson's White Baby Powder. And I do not want to smell like a baby, even though a clean baby!

    This is a scent to be adored, like a persian cat that deigns to let you pet it. I was hooked from that first warm note of what seems to my nose like orange zest. It is, as others have noted, a...

    I absolutely hate this. There's something about it that makes me think of little old ladies who chain smoke and douse themselves in perfume. I can't even bring myself to spritz a little to see if...

    I love it! I have noticed that people either like it or hate it. It's one of those smells.

    This is a review for the EDT, as it is the only one I have tried. When I try the EDP/Parfum, I will update my review. Shalimar comes out as vanilla, baby wipes, and leather on me...with a...

    Shalimar is my "signature fragrance." I always get compliments when I wear this and my DH loves it. Guerlain describes it as "voluptuous, sensual, and bewitching...Shalimar is a fragrance to...

    Don't think it's as medicine-y as some have said but I can understand why they've said it as it can dry that way. I was actually pleasantly surprised, considering how old this is, it's not dated...

    This fragrance has completly seduced me! It is so sexy and elegant, warm, inviting, and very sensuous. This is a woman's fragrance that wears well with heels, pearls, red lipstick, and a bustier...

    I adore Shalimar! I am particularly fond of vanilla based perfumes. The scent is alluring and offers a lingering scent of powder...which may be a turn off to some, but I rather like it. The...

    As with all Guerlain fragrances (as another post started out), Shalimar's about chemistry, dahling. And I think I've figured it out. If you have cool, dry skin, this fragrance is exotic and...

    Awful perfume. I can't comprehend how anyone can like or wear it. It smells like a pharmacy to me, like the rub for sore muscles. When I've got samples, I thought they wanted to poison me. I'd...

    Like Mayra, this reminds me of my mom. I like it on her, but it's not something I would wear myself. It's just not my type of scent - too musky. My mom says it has terrific staying power. ...

    On me this has about 20 minutes of stunning warmth and complexity before it degenerates into an unremarkable cakey musk/vanilla, too reminiscent of unwashed linen to be attractive.

    a classic, and the story manon tells (review)is exactly the image conjured when you wear it. definitely sexy/sultry. Guerlain SO excels at fragrances!
