More about Guerlain Shalimar Eau de Parfum
Shalimar Eau de Parfum by Guerlain opens with bright bergamot and lemon, softening into graceful iris and jasmine, and drifting down to creamy vanilla and sandalwood touched with incense. Luxurious yet deeply personal, it wraps the skin like a cherished silk scarf. It evokes a quiet night in the fabled Gardens of Shalimar, where moonlight glows on still water and the air carries the promise of secrets. Jacques Guerlain composed it as a tribute to the timeless love of Emperor Shah Jahan for Mumtaz Mahal.
