Shalimar Eau de Parfum by Guerlain is smoky vanilla with a bright citrus start and a slightly wild edge. Bergamot, lemon and mandarin open it sharp and sunny, with a dry note of cedar behind them. The heart softens into iris, jasmine and rose, grounded by vetiver and patchouli. Then the base does the real work: vanilla and opoponax, a curl of incense, leather, sandalwood and tonka, with civet and musk adding a warmth that sits close to the skin. Launched in 1990, it tends to be a woman's choice, for someone who likes sweetness with some shadow. Voters keep it for autumn and winter evenings and for nights out. The longevity vote leans long-lasting and the sillage vote leans strong. Try a 10ml decant across a few weeks of evenings before you buy the bottle.
