GUERLAIN Shalimar EDC stands as potentially the most masculine among the three variations (EDP, EDT, and EDC), yet remains firmly in unisex territory. Distinguished by enhanced resin notes and subdued vanilla, it presents primarily as a jasmine fragrance with subtle smokiness. The main notes I detect in the composition I detect are iris, jasmine, vanilla, opoponax, benzoin, Peru balsam, sandalwood, and musk.
