FAQs
What is Shalimar L'Essence Eau de Parfum Intense?
Shalimar L'Essence is an intense Eau de Parfum variation of Shalimar, revealed to mark the 100th anniversary of the first amber perfume in history, composed by Jacques Guerlain in 1925. It concentrates Shalimar's distinctive codes and celebrates vanilla in every form.
What does it smell like?
It is an amber fragrance that celebrates vanilla. Bergamot, almond and incense open onto a floral heart of rose and iris, over a base of benzoin, vanilla, tonka bean and musk. Used in abundance, vanilla adds smooth, woody facets with a hint of leather.
How is it different from the original Shalimar?
Perfumer Delphine Jelk added Guerlain's precious Madagascan vanilla tincture to Jacques Guerlain's original formula. This gives Shalimar a new intensity without detracting from its signature, and its amber note unfolds deeper than ever.
Is it a gift-worthy bottle?
Its bottle is an object of desire, revisited: the logo of the iconic Shalimar bottle has been reinterpreted for Shalimar L'Essence. Its bold graphic letters, a nod to Art Deco, are crafted in a golden shade reminiscent of the perfume itself.
What bottle sizes are available?
Shalimar L'Essence Eau de Parfum Intense comes in three sizes: 30 ml (1.0 fl oz), 50 ml (1.7 fl oz) and 90 ml (3.0 fl oz).

Classic with a Vanilla Twist
Guerlain is a fragrance powerhouse, and this new twist on Shalimar is a delight. First, the bottle. The pedestal shape is strong and architectural, and the blue cap sets off the amber color of the perfume beautifully. The leather tie adds a hint of flair, and like most Guerlain fragrances this look...

Intriguing and ultimately awful
This fragrance took me on a journey that ended with me hating it more than any fragrance I've ever tried. I'm not consciously familiar with Shalimar or any Guerlain fragrance. I knew that Shalimar is often described as having a "vintage" vibe, which makes sense considering how long it's been around...

Sophisticated perfection
Doesnt get enough love in reviews, tired of same old sweet gourmand fragrances, blah blah blah.. its why i love this one. So good
Good perfume
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I love the quality and unique style of the bottle. The top notes are bergamot, lemon, citruses, cedar, mandarin orange. The middle notes are Iris, jasmine, May rose, patchouli, vetiver, Tonka bean. And Vanilla, incense, leather, opopanax, civet, sandalwood, Tonka bean, musk. The scent is definitely different from my usual perfumes which are mainly fffxfuc. The incense and patchouli notes are not my favorite. But overall i do love perfume so i will definitely get use out of it.
Sexy vanilla fragrance
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This fragrance smells so luxurious! It's a warm vanilla scent that smells amazing and lasts all day. It's light enough for day, but sexy enough for night.

The best vanilla , sophisticated
Nobody does canilla like Guerlain, the best!
A warm and classic scent for fall and winter!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This classic perfume is elegant and warm, making it great for fall and winter. The bottle is beautiful and makes for a great display bottle. The scent is strong but also long-lasting with warm notes that I might not gravitate towards so much in spring and summer, but will use it as a transitional scent heading into fall.
