Eau de Shalimar 2009

Wow! I love Shalimar so I’m an easy sell but this is delicious!! It’s a tangy pastel lime in the opening that quickly becomes fluffy, fuzzy angora sweater vanilla! Angel food cake with a little lime and lemon zest!! I’m so happy I found a 2010 (clear bottle with clear cap and navy blue label) bottle in perfect condition!! Btw, this is the exact same formula that’s in the charms version, just a pretty design on the bottle which must be gorgeous because the 2009 bottle is really beautiful!

That is absolutely divine fragrance! So attractive! The top notes are gently fresh then you might smell a luxurious powderish aroma. The base notes are sweet, but without being agressive, and very intim. Very feminine, making you feel special at any moments of your life! This fragrance has also long lasting power. Without any doubts, creation of this parfime is absolute success of the Guerlain company!Bravo!

I bought this perfume last saturday. Its a very seductive perfume. I love this perfume so much.Its like drug to ur nose and brain.Five star!!!

Oh sweet heaven :) i just got this in the mail today . what a beautiful treat . i simply love this. so bright, citrus lime whit a touch off sugery sweetnes. a real candy. the vanilla makes this so delicios.. I have heard and read that this is supossed to be the same as the Eau de Shalimar , only limeted bottle . Well .. I disagree. this is much more about sweetness and vanilla, then the eau de shalimar.. and the notes listed are infact different. In Eau de shalimar there is Iris and Resin , This i can not pick up at all in this special edition. i did not care to much about this notes in the original when i ones owned it. But now i nead to get nother bottle off it to find out closly:) This is a realy soft take on Shalimar . I can feal i tiny hint off the original , but not to much . well it is closer to the edp then edt anyway. I am so so ower the moon happy about this one . if there is a tiny down fall to this it is a bit weak.. not as strong as the other shalimars . But sprayed on clothes aswell this is a lovely thing for shure I LOVE IT

I got this today, as i wanted a lemony fragrance, after reading the lovely reviews! First spray it smelt harsh citrus &, burnt rubber/ resin, I got worried! but didnt wash it off thankfully. After 5 mins that initial harshness was gone and now it's a cloud of sweet, snuggly gentle citrus, vanilla, amber and wood with a gentle floral powder background.

Fresh and bright (almost too sharp for the first 5 minutes) with a very cheerful feeling.. leans feminine and has VERY poor longevity / sillage.. nice spring/ summer alfresco pick-me-up but don't save money to pick this one up... If you want a VERY similar offering with WAY better performance, get the Shalimar Cologne...

I was given a bottle of this one. Very cute and romantic bottle, by the way. The smell? Sweet lemon juice and delicate jasmin. Reminds me Jonhson baby powder ...I think I will wear it to go to bed. jJust adorable.

I love the bottle, it's so pretty! And the smell is so appropriate to hot weather, like in my country, so lemon juice and freshness.

So I guess I’m collecting Shalimar flankers now. I say this after having sought out the edp, an early 2000s edt, Parfum Initial L’eau Si Sensuelle, Philtre, Millesime Tonka, and Eau de Shalimar, all after having fallen for the classic lotion that came with my bottle of Millesime Iris (which is not even the best of the lot!). Eau de Shalimar is the frothy, lemon-lime cream soda iteration of Shalimar. Modern, and yet as charming as the replica of a 50s soda shop — maybe a whiff of the idealized past is in there, too. What sets this apart from the other flankers is a distinctly tart and edible citrus opening, followed by a distinctly edible powdery vanilla dry down — right in the neighborhood of key lime pie or a lemon meringue-topped cupcake. It smells that way in its sillage, at least. Up close, there is something of a clean soapiness or well-groomed/barbershop vibe. I love it. This, along with L’eau Si Sensuelle, will be my summer Shalimar! Next, I’d love to try Soufflé, Soufflé Intense, and Shalimar Cologne (though I hear it’s quite similar to this).

NOTE- THIS IS A REVIEW OF SHALIMAR LIGHT- not the one on this page, but they have no shalimar light page on this site so I thought I would share my experience here. I am a fan of shalimar, but it is a bit mature on its own. I have fb of shalimar edp and ode vanilla, a small bottle of the pure perfume, and shalimar light. I have read so many positive reviews of shalimar light over the past few years, that the first time I saw it for sale on amazon, it was with a lotion and shower gel, and I didnt really care about any of them but the perfume, but i still bought it. I can honestly say I understand the outrage of the discontinuation of this perfume, it is the best shalimar yet. It is a light version of shalimar without so much powder and is much less sharp than any of the other versions. The lotion was watery, obviously gone bad. I agree with the reviews that this is the best shalimar, shalimar light.

I love this bottle of Eau De Shalimar as well..since it is much older you get more of the suede leather and fuzzy vanilla and not so much of the citrus tops..yes the citrus is there but not so pronounced as the newer Eau De Shalimar..it could be because they are older bottles but I love how fancy this looks..and I don't know why Guerlain changed that caps on these bottles to what they have now their look so much fancier and they should go back to these caps they look so much more crystalized...but either way I adore my eau de shalimar's and will always own them..I can't part with them...they smell too yummy to even think it..

Sweet powdery lemon with "burnt rubber". A light version of original Shalimar to be worn at daylight. Weak staying power.

@ floof, we have Shalimar Light in our database, it is just under the name Shalimar Legere (legere = light, in italian)
