How I found God (in the olfactory sense)
Shalimar was a very special experience for me. As one of the primitive of classic perfume art, this Guerlain knocked my socks off at the time, so much so that I've been going through the world differently ever since. I have lost faith and rediscovered.
But at the beginning.
Who is perfumo-kundig, the eternal number one among the women's fragrances will have quickly noticed: Shalimar, the Extrait. In the high pleasure of this golden elixir I was unfortunately not yet allowed to come (30ml about 300€ -aua-), the "normal" Shalimar lets you guess but what awaits you.
Since sat, and that was due to the circumstances that Douglas puts the "classics" down on the shelf as would no one want to buy, I so in front of the Guerlain shelf and looked at this beautiful, elegant, oriental flacon. Makes joy for more.
to the fragrance:
Sprayed on - bäh. No, at this point my untrained nose did not get along with the oriental spice-balsam bomb. I was disappointed, after all, the EdT on Parfumo has a handsome 8.6, a rating that left me pensive, I had lost my faith.
The enlightenment came on the way back, you give the whole thing but still a second chance. And then, miraculously, I found myself on the Orient Express. I smell a godlike balsamic vanilla, which pulls me under its spell and no longer lets go - or is it me who can not let go? We are dealing here with a genderless charmer that excites everything around it. Remember the final scene in Perfume? Where Jean-Baptiste gets eaten because he smells like an angel? Well, with Shalimar you can smell like God. If he/she/it should smell like that, I like to go through the gate of heaven!
