    I was surprised to see this classic in Sephora alongside more modern, frothy concoctions. I tried it on a card and immediately frowned. It smelled dry and powdery like a fresh roll of scented...

    This is the standard by which all others are measured. I may stray to others, but I will always return. From the first sniff to the last whiff of the drydown, pure heaven.

    I have been a fan of Shalimar for over 40 years. I've used other brands, but always find my way back to this. I think it will always be my favorite fragrance.

    Oriental by which all others are judged! Gorgeous masterpiece with the classic Guerlain vanillic drydown. Shalimar is a very sexy perfume, However, I tend to associate it with grandma kisses...

    reminds me of my mother and my childhood. I actually wore this religiously in highschool even thought a lot of people think it is a scent for an older woman. I do like this scent. it has a powdery...

    Beautifully done, but not for me. I liked the citrus topnotes (and I'm not normally a big fan of lemon in fragrance), but there's an unpleasant middle note--not skanky, exactly, more like dust on...

    A fragrance of contradictions. On me, the EDP version is heavy on the smokey and vanilla combo. The parfum is a whole different world altogether: smooth and velvety, the bergamont/jasmine/iris...

    Shalimar is a classic for a reason, and I understand that. It's rich, dark, and sensual. However, the EDT on me is very heady. The scent is cloaking and gives me a headache, no matter how light...

    My HG for perfume. All of the Guerlain perfumes are magical, but Shalimar is the most erotic of all. Wear this perfume and people will compliment you on how delicious you are. Men go nuts for this...

    An oldie and a goodie. I love this scent. Doesn't turn on me which is unusual, and I always feel tremendously feminine in this scent. Love it!

    This smells very different in the bottle than it does on the skin. It smells so strong in the beginning. After ten minutes it starts melting into the skin and starts smelling completely...

    Shalimar EDT is another fragrance from the 1920's which was, for me, love at first scent. Alas, hormones and allergies forced me to bid a fond au revoir to this eau de toilette. Ten years later,...

    Shalimar is very nice on me...it is somewhat delicate, a light lemon spice. There is a leather note that lurks underneath, but is not overpowering. The vanilla is there but isn't very prominent....

    There are 3 scents I religiously wear: Pheromone, Shalimar, and Opium. Ok, they are all classics and complex. Still, no newer fragrance can outbeat them for their complexity and femininity. Now,...

    The initial spritz was HORRIBLE...but of course it smelled much better after the dry down. Very warm and musky scent...however it's not something I would wear regularly so I can't rate it higher...

    This is for the EDP. I think I have found a new favorite in Shalimar. I was looking for a deep,smoky vanilla fragrance and this is it. The dry down is incense-like and haunting in its beauty....

    The first waft I get is citrus. After that settles down, the powdery iris comes to the front & the two notes dance around each other. Then warm vanilla incense joins the party so you get this...
