    When I started reading some of the reviews for Shalimar, I was really confused. I don't get gasoline or anything like it. This perfume must really react differently on different people. ...

    This was my mother's favorite perfume. I'm now the age she was when she wore it. I got a sample bottle to try. As soon as I put it on, there was a harsh, acrid note that I just couldn't stand. ...

    This review is for the Edp. I obtained a sample and was judicious with the application so as to get the full effect of this scent. The initial blast I get is of gasoline. I know this fragrance is...

    As I read the other reviews, I can't improve. My vocabulary seems more suited to describing color and not very well suited to describing scent. I have a new sample of the current EDP and it is...

    Oh, I have such fond memories of this. It was my very first "me" scent, and I discovered it as a child. It was a mini bottle that my well-traveled aunt brought back home from overseas. She must...

    At 85, Shalimar is one of those rare classics that possess both the baroque elegance and gravitas of the era in which they were created, and a timeless, eternally fresh sex appeal. It was the first...

    I've waited a long time to write this review, because this is probably my favorite perfume and I wanted to do it justice. I love the bright, sharp citrus and lavendar on top, and the slow drydown...

    A timeless masterpiece!! It has taken me so long to "get" this fragrance, but I finally have. It took the vintage extrait to capture my heart. My mother used to wax nostalgic about the parfum...

    PERFUME HEAVEN!!! I am a lover of Tabu, Giorgio Beverly Hills and Coco Chanel, and I'd say that Shalimar fits very well in on that list. I simply ADORE it and I swear that I become almost...

    I am giving this 5 stars because I really, really appreciate it. But do I like it? Not exactly. Here's what I get out of Shalimar: bonfires. Just smoky woods. No vanilla, no flowers, just a...

    Smells exactly like baby powder. No lie. Bought this for mother's day present without smelling it.. BIG MISTAKE. The sales rep said it was perfect for women in their 30-40s. Personally, I think...

    The best perfume ever. There is a reason it has been around since 1925. If you can find it, try a dab of the vintage extrait. Heaven.

    I consider this to be the mother of all modern Oriental perfumes. It's womanly, lush, full-bodied and beautiful. I originally got this in a 5mL bottle as part of a gift set, and I am now lusting...

    To be honest, I don't understand at all what's so sexy and sensual about this scent. It smells strong, spicy and old-ladyish, period. I wasn't so impressed by this perfume. I did expect at lot more...

    I tried this many years ago. My mother was a big fan of this perfume, and it smelled nice on her. On me, it smells old lady-ish. And not the good kind. Plus, I would sneeze like crazy every time...

    This review is for the EDT formulation. I received this in a swap, and it's bright and pretty strong for an EDT. The initial blast is lemon--sort of Lysol, but also with a slight spiciness...

    The EDT of Shalimar smells like a cheap mess on my skin, although it was intended, and is regarded, as a masterpiece by many people. Initially, I get a whiff of lemon and kitty litter. When it...
