  1. A very good version of Shalimar. On my skin, it explodes with a huge, bright, creamy vanilla that, after about 15 minutes, becomes more serious as the iris root and bergamot take control, with no floral notes in between. The typical animal touch of Shalimar is greatly attenuated (but still there), making it a good option for any occasion, although I think it suits autumn and spring best.

    What a delicious fragrance! It starts with citrus, such as freshly grated lemon, fresh and vibrant, followed by the vanilla, which is very delicate and pleasant. The lemon loses intensity gradually, lasting about three hours mixed with the vanilla, while the last three hours are almost pure vanilla with a floral note and a very faint musk, all very soft. It is the perfect mixture of acidity and sweetness. The trail is moderate and lasts approximately five to six hours.

    What a delicious fragrance! It begins with citrus, like freshly grated lemon, fresh and vibrant, before the vanilla appears, very delicate and pleasant. The lemon fades gradually, lasting about three hours mixed with the vanilla, before the final three hours are almost pure vanilla with a floral touch and a very slight musk, all very soft. It’s the perfect blend of acidity and sweetness. The trail is moderate and lasts around five to six hours.
