Guerlain’s legendary fragrance, Shalimar, is a hauntingly sensual, timeless scent in an iconic bottle symbolizing a mythic, incandescent love story. The first ambery fragrance overdosed with vanilla, embodies intoxicating femininity and a hint of the forbidden.

Shalimar l'Extrait, is a true filter for femininity. Apply with intimate touches where you want to be kissed. Its fresh and delicious flight becomes a sensual mist, as you discover vanilla and the powdery notes within its soft and sensual base.” - Jacques Guerlain, Iconic Guerlain house perfumer.

Both a technical feat and daring gem, the Shalimar bottle with its arabesque designs evokes the basins of the Shalimar gardens. Its fan-shaped stopper brings to mind the eternal beauty of the garden’s water jets.

Nearly a century after it was first created, Shalimar continues to inspire both the women who cherish its fragrance and the Guerlain perfumers who have continued to compose superb new variations on the scent... Like never before, Shalimar remains a living legend.

The quintessence of “Guerlinade”

Voluptuous and sensual, Shalimar l'Extrait opens with a breeze of flowers and bergamot, warmed with notes of iris, jasmine and rose. Vanilla, balsam notes and tonka beans meanwhile bring power and sensuality to this now-legendary fragrance. Also included are the notes that make up the famous “Guerlinade” olfactory signature, which is recognised for making many of the Guerlain house fragrances so unique.
