Guerlain Shalimar L'Essence Decants/Samples

The mythical amber accord sublimated by a vanilla used in abundance.

Shalimar L'Essence by Guerlain was created to mark the 100th anniversary of the original Shalimar. Developed by Delphine Jelk, this fragrance is described as an intense eau de parfum that highlights vanilla, with nuances that are suave, woody, and slightly leathery. The bottle design pays homage to the original, featuring bold gold Art Deco-inspired lettering.

This intense eau de parfum celebrates vanilla in every form. Delphine Jelk has added the precious Madagascan vanilla tincture stemming from Guerlain's ancestral know-how to the ethylvanillin found in Jacques Guerlain’s original formula, giving Shalimar a new intensity. 

Discreet and subtle, bergamot illuminates the floral heart which blends rose absolute with the powdery elegance of iris. Little by little, Shalimar’s amber note unfolds. Used in abundance, vanilla infuses it with new facets – smooth and woody with a hint of leather.

Notes: Madagascar Vanilla, Vanillin, Iris, Musk, Rose
