Launched by the design house of guerlain way back in 1925, shalimar is classified as a refined, oriental fragrance that serves as one of the great icons of early 20th-century perfumery. It's a feminine scent possessing a blend of balsamic and citrus accords, and it's recommended particularly for evening wear. The citrus notes appear in the top notes, specifically mandarin, bergamot, and lemon, as well as a cedar note.
