Unlike the original
So let me start off by saying that I don’t like the original Shalimar. This however is quite nice and nothing like it to my nose. I’d describe this as a spicy/oriental vanilla. Mostly a vanilla though with a slight touch of oriental. I think what I notice is something resinous, it shares something with to Cuir Beluga and Molton Brown Milk Musk, although they’re all very different!
It has a slight powdery feel in the makeup sense, like a bronzing powder not like laundry powder.
I’m not sure how this would wear in warmer weather but for fall and winter it’s very suitable. Longevity is great.
