Pros & Cons
- ✅ This juice… is probably a gateway frag to the entire Shalimar franchise. The MVP, on the other hand, is totally addictive and wearable.
- ✅ I find this warm, rich, and golden vanilla envelops you like a protective hug. This fragrance radiates so much warmth and depth, it is strong yet somehow gentle at the same time.
- ✅ This dark, almost black, slightly charred vanilla immediately affects my synapses. The light smoke is accompanied by the spice of the Guerlinade, unmistakable and very well woven into this fragrance creation.
- ❌ I was initially a bit disappointed that it is not the vanilla from the dry down of the Shalimar EdP (which I find brighter and less dense).
- ❌ It was a limited release, sadly, and my backup bottles will last me a while. Guerlain, you should consider making it a permanent offering.
