Scent Description:

GUERLAIN Shalimar EDC, is a brighter, more "aerial" version of the classic that smells like lemon-infused velvet and smoldering vanilla. It opens with a sparkling, effervescent burst of bergamot that is far more prominent than in the denser concentrations. This leads to a heart of powdery iris before settling into a transparent, smoky base of animalic vanilla, incense, and soft leather.
