Scent Description:

GUERLAIN Shalimar EDT, starts with a bracing, almost shock of bergamot and lime—a sharp opening that defines the vintage style. As the brightness fades, it transforms into a smoky, seductive blend of leathery vanilla, incense, and animalic musks. The vintage EDT is dry and unapologetic; it smells like burnt resins and French powder inside a leather bag.
