Community Verdict
Pros & Cons
- ✅ Effortless timeless, ever so modern, sensual yet comforting…
- ✅ Shalimar is one of those perfect perfumes. Everything about it is perfect; there is not a single thing wrong with it.
- ✅ This jewel smells of history, love, seduction, magic, forbidden things and desire.
- ✅ It was an enjoyable scent.
- ✅ It was a nice, cozy, pretty, and wearable everyday sort of fragrance.
- ❌ I don't like the opening, it is like urine smell to my nose.
- ❌ The current formulation does not last long; it only lasts at most 3 hours.
- ❌ The opening is much more civet-heavy than any other Shalimar.
- ❌ it wasn't intensely rich, so it never my first choice for a cozy comfort scent, and it lacked the divaesque, baroque character that I really gravitate to
