Guerlain Shalimar Parfum Initial L'Eau Si Sensuelle

Calm, languid, caressing haze with notes of loose powder by Guerlain, tasty kids caramels and light vanilla. The aroma truly weightless as fluff. For me it's tenderness. Ease. Grace. Playfulness. And all this in one perfume -bottle. On my nose this is the most beautiful fragrance from the pink line of Initials. The main note here is white iris. I fond of iris & it opens up beautifully on me, so that this Shalimar has refilled my fragrant collection. The aroma is quite persistent: he can live until the evening and without updates. This fleur is very complimentary. There's only one reason to be upset - is that this version of Shalimar is limited edition - and alas, it is removed from production. In my humble opinion - in vain. This flanker is no worse than the original. The fragrance of classic Shalimar in the base is recognizable, but yet another. Youthful, flirtatious, fresh Si Sensuelle resemble to Shalimar Parfume Initial L'Eau Eau de Toilette however L'Eau Si Sensuelle is lighter, ringer on account adding green notes & more iris - paper in its base. P.s. On the neck of the perfume -bottle he has a fuzz brush.

I have long saught an amazing floral green fragrance. While I thought I liked green notes, I realized maybe not because estee’s private collection even the original formulation were too green too citrus. I liked Guerlain’s original Jardins but i didn’t smell much flowers. But digestable green. Best flowers scent I have smelled in this journey was Margiela Replica flower market. Margiela replica Springtime in the park is not the same. Lancome O intense is a calmer green even more than Guerlain’s Jardins but has some flower that is amplified by a fruity feeling. Most modern florals have fruits in them it seems, but I find the best ones have a sweet sense eithout fruit. So that’s where I get to initial sensulle, this one. THE BEST. Floral, green. Beautiful longevity. Lasted in a winter breeze. And it is not cirtus, it IS grapefruit. I love it. Vanilla is there too. And iris is barely noticable. Similar profile as Chanel No. 19 poudre, but NOTHING like it— in every best way

So today I was browsing at Winners here in Canada with my gift card I got for mothers day and I spotted this for 50 bucks, grabbed it right away of course. husband a skeptical, he doesn't think its a good idea buying fragrances without smelling first (aaaaand he's right)... I just couldn't resist. Somehow I knew I was gonna appreciate this. Shalimar edp/edt are among my favourite, actually anything Guerlain I'm pretty sure I like. Anyways, I was right!! This is a soft, powdery citrus with some vanilla, reminds me a bit of Coco Madmoiselle, (I could be wrong its been a while since I wore that one). Now this one still has something Shalimar hidden somewhere in there, not sure what... Oh and husband liked it a lot. yay! I missed to mention that lasts a decent amount on my skin (5-6hrs) but like I said this one's a soft scent, subtle sillage if that makes sense.

Shalimar Parfum Initial L'Eau Si Sensuelle and all of the pillars of Initial were beautiful and sadly discontinued! I love this Shalimar Sensuelle its warm sensual and bright at the same time it simply melts in your skin like butter! Their Guerlinade Vanilla with the Iris, tonka bean and bergamot are just right slightly gourmand ish, IMHO it smells just like Dior's Homme 2005 simply gorgeous. IRIS is the prominent note... I have both the Shalimar SI Sensuelle and SPI there both equally luscious and alike one citrusy than the other. What a shame Guerlain discontinued these pillars and that it was not given the chance it deserved when it was launched maybe today it would've been a seller Maybe it was about timing or promotion whatever it was Well done Mon Thierry Wasser!

This scent is an odd one for me. I love it and I hate it but I can't get enough of it when I want to smell it. I think it's one I had to wear a bunch of times to really appreciate it. I'm not one of those who loved this right away, but I'm starting to love it now. The iris and bergamot combo turned it really sour for me, it had an odd citrus/smokey sort of vibe in the beginning. But after a bit it's oddly pleasant. Once it settled down I really enjoy it, but it's still an odd scent I'm just not really used to yet. The citrus is still there doing weird things, but now I'm starting to get the vanilla and tonka. I guess it's sort of like Shalimar in that way, where I need to keep smelling it to really GET it.
