In my Shalimar toilet water, the scent of incense and wax is prominent. It starts off strong and then becomes softer, but it can be smelled throughout the entire day. The longevity of this fragrance is impressive. This time, I opted for the perfume version from ES, and it is very long-lasting, dense, and feels like a precious elixir. It is a masterpiece that time cannot ruin.
I used this creation throughout the cold seasons, from autumn to spring. It was brought from Germany, and there is not even a hint of forgery.
Considering that I love Guerlain for their "dresses," their tooth-crushing sweetness, longevity, and sillage, I absolutely did not like this fragrance. No matter how much I tried to figure out what makes this "luxurious" fragrance special, I couldn't find anything. I understand that everyone has different tastes, so I'll just share my own opinion.
The opening is killer! A million receptors explode in my nose from the initial notes, and tears well up in my eyes. No, I'm not actually crying.
It resembles a rubber melting factory with a touch of frankincense. You need to hold your breath for the first few minutes, or even better, step out onto the balcony and give yourself a little spritz; otherwise, your head will start to ache at that very moment.
I'm waiting for it to develop. But it doesn't! And there is no scent either. Absolutely nothing after about forty minutes. So, from the moment of application, you just endure the stench, and after half an hour, it doesn't smell like anything. Great, the torture wasn't long-lasting. God forbid using this elixir in the summer, it will knock out both yourself and those around you.
In conclusion: no development, no longevity, no sillage.
There's nothing more to write about. If the smell of burning rubber for forty minutes brings someone pleasure, then you're truly cool! As for me, I've put the bottle away for now and will take it out when mosquitoes arrive. I hope my review is useful to someone.
Fans of "Guerlain dresses," look for something more enjoyable.
Bergamot launches with its power and breathtaking sillage. There is so much of it that it seems like there are no other notes in the perfume. It quickly fades into the base on me, and there... You can get lost. The signature Guerlain undertone is enchanting. By the way, in the base, you can detect the same vanilla as in the aged classic Mon Guerlain (I have both, they are identical in the base). The longevity is average for such a "monster," but it satisfies me. I apply no more than one spray on my collarbone. The sillage is very pleasant. My husband, without knowing that it's my new Shalimar, said it smells expensive and very sexy (I'm 31, he's 35 years old). I don't hear any grandma's, grandpa's, or other trunks. Undoubtedly, lovers of Imperatrice, Bright Crystal, and similar fragrances will hardly appreciate Shalimar, but if you hear it once and you like it, then that's it... Any other perfume will always be compared to the grandeur and power of this classic.
I bought it here, but it was still winter. It's a prestigious, expensive, and legendary fragrance, but the initial scent is very sharp! It's a must-try! Apply it at least an hour before going out, as the rubbery notes overpower the others at first. But when it unfolds, it's beautiful - in my opinion, the bitter vanilla takes center stage... I even sleep in it.
I am trying this fragrance for the first time and immediately hit the mark. It is a divine classic that will never go out of style. I love oriental scents and I understand that Shalimar will become a favorite. In it, I can detect frankincense and some spices, creating a cozy aroma.
I finally received my package from the EU. I am familiar with the scent and I love it. It didn't immediately captivate me, but from the second sample, I was hooked. It is something magical and unusual, yet cozy and warm at the same time. The batch code is fine, not expired. Thank you to the store for the festive mood!
First encounter with a legend. I thought long and hard about where to begin, and I decided on the EDT. The first spritz on the blotter - it seems like I hit the mark, hello tires.... After an hour, I decided to apply it to my wrist. It still managed to captivate me, even from the blotter. On the skin, it unfolds completely differently. Yes, the infamous tires are present, but in a much smaller concentration and they don't repel, rather they spark curiosity about what's next?... And what comes next is that in the eau de toilette, the floral and citrus notes are almost nonexistent for me, but instead, there's an oriental tale of sun-warmed sandalwood with a hint of vanilla and a touch of powdery cloud. In short, love happened on the second try, or maybe the first if we don't count the blotter. I don't recommend trying to understand this perfume from paper alone, as the impressions are very different. As for longevity, it lasts all day on the skin and remains noticeable on clothing for several days. The store's service, as always, is top-notch :)
I really love the fragrances of this brand, so I've been slowly testing and trying them on myself. Currently, my favorite is "Elysian Fields." I decided to buy the famous "Shalimar" - I didn't dare to get the perfume, but I am very satisfied with this version! It reminds me of oriental incense. I once bought aroma sticks with vanilla, and it's very similar! I'm very happy that I took the risk, even though I bought it without testing it first. I caught myself smelling my wrist and enjoying it until the evening after the test.
I have heard mixed reviews, but I really wanted to have Shalimar in my perfume collection. It is suitable for a special occasion or mood, but a preliminary test is obligatory.
I didn't buy it here, but I decided to write a review. Oh, it's love at first sniff. The scent is multi-faceted and complex. It reminds me of an Eastern fairytale, but without excessive sweetness or overpowering spices. There's a hint of bitterness. Its longevity is excellent, it lasts all day on me. The jar is small, but it lasts a long time.
Favorite water) It won't suffocate you or get boring; it receives compliments from both guys and girls. It's difficult to say what it smells like... a hint of smoke, lemon jam with a touch of bitterness, and a delicate powder. The scent is luxurious and elegant. It's lighter than the perfumed Shalimar, especially for summer. I give it a 5-star rating.
My beloved Shalimar! I chose the TV version, as it is quieter than the PV (and in my opinion, it is the closest to Shalimar Initial L'eau, which is no longer available). For me, this fragrance is definitely meant for summer evenings by the sea. It is very powdery and delicate, despite the initial bitterness that reminds me of medicinal drugs. However, after 10-15 minutes, a subtle floral sweetness emerges. It is very pleasing and receives many compliments.
DISLIKED - immediately after application, it hits with a strong scent of wood and incense, but it's not long-lasting - neither on me nor on my friends, even though it has been settled for a while. Other scents from Gerlema are beautiful and long-lasting. But this one - terrible.
I received my Shalimar. It is simply incredible. I am in love with it. This is my second bottle. It is the scent of a luxurious woman. Definitely a fragrance for special occasions. Evening or during the cold season. I am 32 and in this fragrance, I don't feel like an older woman. On the contrary, this fragrance gives me status and elegance. It is rich, has a lingering trail, and is very long-lasting. I ordered 30 ml. When it runs out, I will order 90 ml. This perfume is a diamond in my collection. And whoever wrote that they smell burnt rubber, I smell powder and an Eastern scent. Everything is very individual. If you love fresh scents, this perfume is definitely not for you. But it is simply incredible.
I recently purchased the Photo code TV and I must say, I am quite impressed with its performance. The TV has exceeded my expectations in terms of picture quality and functionality.
Firstly, let's talk about the picture quality. The Photo code TV boasts a stunning display that produces vibrant and true-to-life colors. Whether I'm watching my favorite movies or playing video games, the visuals are incredibly sharp and detailed. The high resolution ensures that every image is crisp and clear, enhancing my viewing experience to a whole new level.
In addition to the exceptional picture quality, the functionality of the TV is also worth mentioning. The Photo code TV comes equipped with a variety of useful features that enhance convenience and user experience. The remote control is intuitive and easy to navigate, allowing me to effortlessly switch between channels and adjust settings. The TV also offers multiple connectivity options, including HDMI and USB ports, making it compatible with various devices such as gaming consoles and external storage devices.
Furthermore, the TV's sleek and modern design adds a touch of elegance to
The store's work is always timely and of high quality, well done. Regarding the toilet water, I have been familiar with Shalimar for a long time, I had the Shalimar Initial L'Eau flanker, so its "capriciousness" is known to me. At first, it is a sharp, citrusy-spicy explosion reminiscent of some joint ointment, but after about 15 minutes, it transforms into a vanilla powdery scent with a hint of resinous base that simply enchants. Definitely, you need to get used to it and understand it, it is a very complex fragrance, but when you become friends with it, you will understand that it is truly something magical. Smoky, spicy, balsamic, vanilla, not at all simple. It is either love or hate. I love it very much, especially in winter. It is definitely retro, but this retro vibe is modern. I feel its longevity for 6 hours on the skin and on clothes, and even on the next day.
And once again, I got lucky! Thank you, dear store!
My acquaintance with this fragrance happened back in 1996. I was working in the accounting department of one of the currency boutiques in our city. We dealt with the sale of French cosmetics and perfumes. Genuine FRENCH ones. Representatives from the Nina Ricci house even visited us. So, we had a Guerlain department as well. It was the most incomprehensible department. We, the accountants, with our untrained noses, ruined all the Guerlain scents except for Samsara. Shalimar in particular was completely ruined, I thought nothing could be worse. Only now I realize how foolish we were and how we didn't appreciate the fact that we were surrounded by original masterpieces. It's funny and sad now... The fragrance, of course, is amazing. I also feel the incense as a red thread throughout all the stages of its development. But it's not overwhelming. The initial phase with the citrus notes is very delicious. In my opinion, there's a bit too little vetiver, I really admire it. It's good that everything turned out well with Shalimar after all these years.
I received my bottles. I ordered 2 bottles of 93 ml each. This is the original, with a beautiful and legendary fragrance. These perfumes are luxurious. They resemble Chanel Coromandel, Cartier Must, and Moschino Moschino. However, Shalimar has its own character and uniqueness. I am grateful to the store. Good luck to you. Employees deserve a bonus!
I would like to thank Make Up for their consistently precise, instant work and their care for their customers. It is always a pleasure to make purchases with you, without worrying that something will go wrong. The fragrance is luxurious, there is no point in describing it as there are plenty of fans already.
