See What People Think

Shalimar L'Essence by Guerlain is a 2025 eau de parfum intense for women by Delphine Jelk, created for the centenary of Shalimar as an ode to vanilla. Madagascan vanilla tincture joins the ethylvanillin of Jacques Guerlain's original formula, giving the legendary oriental a new intensity. Bergamot, almond and incense open softly before a heart of rose and powdery iris wrapped in amber and opoponax. Vanilla, tonka bean, benzoin, musk and a hint of leather form a smooth, woody and sensual base. Rich and enveloping, Shalimar L'Essence shines on autumn and winter days and evenings.
