Inspired by the passionate love story between an emperor and an Indian princess, Shalimar which means "temple of love" in Sanskrit symbolizes the promise of eternal love forevermore. It is a fragrance of desire. With its smoldering and slightly impertinent character, the star gourmand fragrance in perfumery embodies skin-caressing sensuality with a hint of the forbidden. "Wearing Shalimar means letting your senses take over," Jacques Guerlain would say. Voluptuous, Sensual, Spellbinding. A flight of flowers and bergamot whips up the top notes with a breeze of freshness. The heart is warmed by enveloping and delicately powdery notes of iris, jasmine and rose. To conclude, the presence of vanilla, rounded balmy notes and the gourmand warmth of tonka bean orchestrate a sensual symphony for the dry-down.
