omg what an amaaaaazing scent !!!! i am not a fan of the original - for some reason its a stink bomb on me lol so i never bothered with the off shoots - thinking i wouldnt like them................well several years later- present day today lol - i decided to purchase this scent well i admit for the bottle - i love peacocks & this bottle is soooo beautiful.......... anyway i sprayed thinking i wouldnt like it & instantly went into dreamland after spraying it........its the most amazing scent ever.....i have never had a scent take me away to another dimension lol.....well this one did lol...........i felt like i was in a cloud of lemon-vanilla & musk....super comfy & romantically cozy :) its classy, romantic, soft, powdery, feminine, dreamlike......and it lasted a really long time on me.........so far its been 8 hrs & i can still smell it - yum yum yum so i cant wait to purchase more of shalimars off springs - i hope they are all dreamy.........and maybe one day i might even re-visit the original but i think i will hold off on that for a bit lol - i dont want to ruin any futures sniffs with the other shalimar scents lol

Same fragrance as the solid blue bottle, just in a special edition bottle. Lovely juice in a lovlier bottle.

I bought this mainly for the beautiful bottle, I just couldn't leave the shop without it, it seemed to special not to add to my modest Shalimar collection. Once I actually tested it I loved it- it is definitely a much lighter version than the original, but still very beautiful. I think its perfect for summer, and wear the original for winter. It did smell to me like absolutely delicious lemon meringue, light and airy but still had a surprising longevity and sillage. The vanilla is still pretty much the same vanilla that I adore in the original, and have nothing bad to say about it even if I am not normally a fan of flankers. I need to buy this in a normal bottle so I can spray away, its too precious in this peacock bottle to waste lightly.

I was admittedly only purchasing this at first because of the bottle. I usually don't do such things as I find it to be rather frivolous, but I luckily found myself head over heels for the scent. I had tried it before and while I enjoyed it, I didn't get any Shalimar connection and I also just found it a bit too dense. Once those phases passed, I found myself wearing it almost every day for over a month. It's an incredibly heavy scent, despite the name. Mostly a meringue pie, sweet and citrusy, but also quite full of jasmine of the non indolic variety. Exceedingly beautiful for me.

This is pretty and light and airy. Not too sweet, and with a light citrus scent. Perfect for the office or daily use. It won’t offend anyone. It doesn’t last long on my fair skin - or maybe my nose becomes immune to it. I layer it on top of original Shalimar Body Creme to help boost projection. It’s a safe fragrance to wear, and projects a classy edge. I think females of all ages can comfortably wear this.
