    I tried a tester in a store. To me, this has the most OVERPOWERING, ATROCIOUS, and OBNOXIOUS scent that you can ever imagine. It is mixed heavily with alcohol, on me it burned terribly. I cannot...

    Warning: I am only reviewing the vintage Shalimar. That wonder of a perfume made pre-1970's. It must be a bottle found in the original packaging, kept in a cool place. Yes, this is a rare creature...

    i was so looking forward to this one, as it was described by many as lemony vanilla cake. Instead I found it to be a potent, artifical and perfumey. I cannot detect any lemon and it smells almost...

    I received this in a swap. I have to say, I am SO impressed. This scent is years old- my mom remembers wearing this in High School. But I love it. The first I get is an airy strong smell of what I...

    Love this but also prefer the older product. Men do love Shalimar, every time I wear it someone tells me.

    A masterpiece in perfumery, doubtless. I can simply say that this is a classic, an all time favourite – best results in winter, though, as happens with many orientals. I agree with the...

    This is another signature scent that is associated with women of a certain age and era, not unlike Chanel no 5 or Opium. I became familiar with Shalimar in the late 80's early 90's from three women...

    I really enjoyed reading all the reviews on this! It seems alot of us have some sort of sentimental story related to Shalimar! My story is that this was my mother's staple item, along with liquid...

    Someone gave a bottle of this to my grandmother years ago. In fairness, I should say that I've never tested this on my own skin, simply because it smelled so strongly of powder with some sort of...

    I have to admit, when I first sampled Shalimar I hated it. Tried it again and I absolutely LOVE THIS PERFUME!!! Almost to the brink of obsession. Intoxicating and warm this morphs on the skin all...

    Chanel No. 5 may be the classic fragrance of fashion, but Shalimar is the quintessential fragrance of LOVE. Shalimar is probably the finest vanilla-based perfume of all time. I've never met anyone...
