Guerlain Shalimar Eau De Parfums Spray, 1 Ounce

This delicious fragrance is a classic. It is fresh and clean and lasts forever. You don’t need much just to spray and it will last all day. It’s gorgeous. It’s classic Guerlaine great size good value for the money. Excellent. I have bought my mother this every year for her birthday since I was a kid and this is actually cheaper this year than it was when I bought it for her in high school so excellent price.

This is absolutely lovely! It reminds me of my mother so much. The scent is exactly just I remember. So beautiful! Nothing like it. You definitely don’t need much and it is Devine. So very happy 😊 ❤️

My last bottle was eau d’cologne, so this was more intense and requires a lighter touch to apply. Shalimar is a classic fragrance that I love for nostalgia. May not appeal to younger shoppers. This one bottle will probably last the rest of my life, which could be anywhere from 7 to 30 years, give or take.

I had added this item to my wishlist years ago. My adult son accessed my list and purchased the 3 oz as a Christmas gift to me. I was worried about receiving a fake. I messaged the seller who assured his vendors are good and honest. That didn’t mean much to me. I received the item. It seems authentic enough. Surprisingly it doesn’t smell like an old lady although its top note smells like spices. The bottom note is vanilla and musk. I read the EDT reviews of a major department store retailer and most were literally 1 stars. Unless we have Guerlain authenticate, we consumers will never know. As for longevity, I find it won’t last very long on certain textile clothes materials, but is long lasting when sprayed directly onto my skin. Basically, it will differ from person to person. I think this fragrance will not appeal to most under age 45.

A nice big bottle of Shalimar Perfume. A great value for the price. Nicely packaged.

My grandmother has worn this for decades. Needless to say, I love the smell, but it’s also an association thing. I’m sure plenty of people would consider a “grandma” perfume... the scent is definitely not very modern. However, you can tell it’s an incredible quality. The scent stays on all day, and doesn’t break down like other scents. Even though it smells slightly different on each person, it still seems to work for any person I’ve known to try it.I’m not able to describe scents very well. I couldn’t pick out an individual one if my life depended on it. I do know that I once saw it described as “the classic Oriental perfume,” and while I couldn’t identify a perfume’s category, I can understand the description. When I first smell it, I notice the musk (and I typically hate musky perfumes), then spices, then almost like a sweetness. When I say spices, I mean like when you smell cinnamon or something like that, and by sweet, I mean like when you smell something baking, like vanilla. I know it sounds like I’m describing a musk mixed with cinnamon buns (which, hey, if that’s your thing), but it’s not at all what it smells like, it’s almost like how it feels. Baking is really the only reference I have for scents, I don’t wear them often, and body sprays and the like usually gag me. Most perfumes either nauseate me immediately or after I’ve had them on for a few hours. This one never makes me sick. As I said, I normally hate musks, but this doesn’t seem to be like most of the ones you find in stores. Imagine a room that was done in lots of dark, jewel toned colors, with all kinds of velvets and fur and leather pieces.... but someone’s baking in the kitchen and it’s wafting through (and no, I don’t mean those canned cinnabons, I mean like if someone’s baking some Thomas Keller-level stuff with real vanilla beans and all that). Definitely a naughty but nice feel to it, but a very luxe version of it.

Classic that remains the same

A timeless fragrance with warm vanilla and floral notes. Lasts long and feels luxurious, but the strong opening may not suit everyone.
