The initial sensation is of cool citrus burst that quickly melds into a rich floral heart. The undercurrent of dark sensual pervades even the initial chilly note, setting the stage for the warmth of the base.

...I just realized that Shalimar smells very similar to Guerlain's Habit Rouge Pour Homme! Similar, but Shalimar has a more prominent note of powder, whereas Habit Rouge has a prominent note of leather, although both are somewhat sweet. I love them both and wear them both! Very long-lasting also.

Shalimar. Such a gorgeous scent. It's definately the best (and easiest introduction) to the House of Guerlain. From Shalimar you can start to build your perfume collection. It's such a melody of warm flowers, exotic yet familiar. It's very, very sexy, but not overpowering.

I am not particularly a great fan of Guerlain perfumes, I find some of them difficult to like especially some of the newest ones, however I am crazy for Shalimar. This perfume that has been around since the 1920's so it has a whole load of history behind it.

wow what can i say, i have loads and loads of perfumes but i always go back to shalimar, since i was 18 i was bought it for one of my 18th birthday presents and 37 years on what can i say, wonderful, sexy, makes you feel like a woman.

I have been using this fragrance for 35 years and it is complemented by both male and female of all ages. It never fails to please.

I love Shalimar. It is the only cologne I use. The fragrance is not overwhelming and very pleasant even to those who are around me.Everyone always asks "what is that fragrance you have on".

Looking for something a little heavier than a one-note floral, I found the description of a floral medley with vanilla and musk interesting. Shalimar is lovely, fine for parties and other outings--or romantic evenings, but if you're heading to the mall, PTA, or carwash, stick to something lighter.

Of all the classic fragrances that hail from the Roaring '20s, Guerlain Shalimar and Chanel Bois des Iles are probably the only ones I reach for and would repurchase if I ever ran out, even though I don't wear them daily.

This is the third time and probably the last time, I will purchase Shalimar. When I first started using Shalimar parfum, it was heavier and almost an oil. It now appears to be watered down and the fragrance isn't the same. It is more like the spray cologne from the bottle.
