Shalimar Parfum Initial Perfume by Guerlain, Romance radiates from Shalimar Parfum Initial, released in 2011. The enchanting citrus top notes of bergamot and orange join refreshing green notes to energize you. Floral heart notes, including iris, jasmine and rose seamlessly combine with vetiver and patchouli creating a sensual, seductive scent. The deep, satisfying base notes harmonize into woody, aromatic bliss, including vanilla, caramel, Tonka bean and musk. The timeless, elegant bottle adds to your pleasure with a classy blue stopper and tassel.

In business for nearly 175 years, Guerlain is synonymous with quality and luxury. The French perfumery produces exceptional fragrances for men and women. It also offers a fine line of makeup and skin care. The brand is inspired by the bee, which was initially used to adorn a bottle of perfume created for Empress Eugénie when wedded to Emperor Napoleon Iii. The bee continues to symbolize the brand, and inspires the company’s commitment to sustainable development. All products are original, authentic name brands. We do not sell knockoffs or imitations.

Shalimar Light

The original Shalimar has been my favorite for many years but a little too heavy for daytime use. This Shalimar Initial is the same lovely fragrance but lighter which makes it perfect for anytime use.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Compliments where ever I go

I constantly get compliments from men & women & asked what perfume I am wearing, I use this perfume in the day & evening, what amazes me though is how many men comment when I wear this perfume ... It is almost like an add on TV for impulse where the men follow the scent ... I love to smell nice & receiving all these compliments tells me that Shalimar Initial is a winner 😊

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

a necessity in my life

I can't imagine my life without Shalimar. I have been using it for 40 years now. But with the high amount of duties in my country it's not worthwhile ordering from your company again.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Starting to Grow on Me

When I first received this product, I thought it was way too complex for me. After using it for a couple of weeks, this scent is now growing on me. The dry down is very nice, it is fluffy and powdery - very feminine. I wear the scent everyday, I am addicted. Also, this is my first time ordering from FragranceX - no problem with the product nor shipping.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

A "Good" Mistake

I sampled Shalimar Parfum Initial in a store, and instantly liked it, thinking it was the parfum version of the original. However, I bought the original Shalimar, not realizing they were different scents. While I do like the original, I had to find this scent again. I had a hard time finding it in stores, again. Fortunately, I found it here. It's just as I remember in the store.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

One of Guerlain's better flankers

The original Shalimar is beyond compare and I love it. Many perfume lovers feel that having ANY flanker based on Shalimar is tantamount to sacrilege. However, Shalimar Parfum Initial is a delightful fragrance that deserves to be appraised on its own merits. I do catch whiffs of its predecessor, but the starring notes of PDI are powdery iris, rich sweet vanilla, and an opening blast of sunny citrus. It's a cheerful, light-hearted daily scent - and even if it's not the Grand Old Dame of perfumery, PDI is well worth appreciating for its own radiant beauty.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Amazing

Sunlight captured by the warm afternoon! At place, where the nights are hot. :-) The fragrance is unique on my skin! And I recieve nice compliments from different people, even sometimes from ones who I do not know. It evolves and changes every hour, but continuisly remaining some main notes-powdery, rose, balmy, sweet. But you cannot distinguish them separately, it is a great mix, which you just enjoy. When I am with Shalimar Initial, it is like I have a magical veil, aura around me, which changes the reality and the mood. :-) Longlasting and rememberable. When I feel the odour of Shalimar Initial, I remember the legend and I believe that all the mystery, love and sence of exotic is captured in the gently designed bottle. I believe I can use it anytime and in any season. :-)

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.
