Icon-Icon Opinion :
“I was on a plane from London to Paris in the 1980s and I was sitting, unknowingly, next to Jean-Louis Dumas, the president of Hermès. My Hermès schedule was so full that everything fell through. He told me that I had better put my personal belongings in closed pockets. I said, ‘If Hermes would put pockets…’ he said, ‘I am Mr. Hermes and I will put pockets for you. A month later, he sent me a bag and asked me if he could call it the Birkin.” Jean-Louis Dumas thus designed a bag that is now worth more than gold!

1925. Jacques Guerlain draw from the myth of the Taj Mahal the power to evoke a perfume forever in the minds of those who have approached it. This is what we find in the formula of Shalimar perfume – scents of vanilla, complemented by citrus fruits, iris and tonka… A sublimated Orient in other words!
Name of the product : Shalimar
Brand : Guerlain
Composition : Oriental.
Voluptuous, sensual, spellbinding.A flight of flowers and bergamot whips up the top notes with a breeze of freshness. The heart is warmed by enveloping and delicately powdery notes of iris, jasmine and rose. To conclude, the presence of vanilla, rounded balmy notes and the gourmand warmth of tonka bean orchestrate a sensual symphony for the dry-down.
Shalimar is the first oriental perfume in history.
L’Eau de Parfum Shalimar is a mythic fragrance with bergamot, iris and vanilla notes ; an intense wake with a touch of impertinence, always glowing which embodies skin-caressing sensuality with a hint of the forbidden.Inspired by the passionate love story between an emperor and an Indian princess, Shalimar, which means “temple of love” in Sanskrit, symbolises the promise of eternal love forevermore. It is a fragrance of desire.
In 1925, the Shalimar bottle designed by Raymond Guerlain won first prize at the Paris Decorative Arts Exhibition. Its curves were inspired by the basins of the famous Shalimar gardens. The fan stopper with its sapphire transparency recalls the garden’s eternally gushing water. -
