Elegant and Timeless

Elegant und Zeitlos

After the Shalimar millesime Iris, which I already liked immensely, I had to test you on my skin as well.
Bought blind, always keeping the wonderful "shalimar millesime Iris" in mind, I was full of confidence that you were made for me.
In joyful anticipation of your arrival, I counted the hours until you would be with me.....
The day came faster than expected, and I carefully took you out of the box; what a beautiful packaging you wear......
I sprayed you right away, I couldn’t and didn’t want to wait any longer. You enveloped my senses with a warm, sensual aura, filling the entire room; I was in love. The tonka bean (the star of the perfume), combined with vanilla and bitter almond, gives you such wonderful depth.
To me, you are a precious treasure, an exceptionally successful, elegant, and timeless fragrance composition that is indispensable in my collection. I smell you.... over and over again and perceive a little bit of the classic shalimar DNA in you, subtly, just a hint, and very pleasant.
However, you two are not comparable; you are unique.
Your bottle, however, is not just yours; that doesn’t bother me at all.
In my opinion, you deserve more than just a plastic cap; that’s the only thing I can criticize.

I agree with you on everything. However, I also love the "Ur" Shalimar very much, both the EdT and EdP. That's why it has beautiful daughters too.

Yes, that's exactly how it is with "Ur" Shalimar. However, I recently bought a new bottle directly from Guerlain Germany. For the first 2 months, the bergamot note was as delightful as fresh bergamot. Now it's back to normal, but at first, it was very tarry. I just like wood tar when it doesn't transition into leather scents with iris and the like.

I really like it too. Although not right at first, the "Ur" Shalimar develops beautifully very quickly.
