Shalimar Parfum Initial L'eau Perfume by Guerlain, Intimate and sophisticated, Shalimar Parfum Initial L'eau invokes feelings of a spring bouquet. Released in 2012, this subtle, fresh scent opens with citrus notes of bergamot, grapefruit and orange. The floral heart notes soon delight your senses, including the perfect combination of freesia, iris, rose, hyacinth, lily-of-the-valley and jasmine. The Tonka bean and vanilla base notes ground and warm the powdery fragrance creating an aromatic undertone of sensuality.

For five generations, Guerlain has been infamous for sophisticated fragrances. Founded in 1828, this French perfumery is rich in tradition. While keeping with the lush history, the brand has also introduced innovative practices that encompass the perfect marriage of modern and classic. The current house perfumer, Thierry Wasser, journeys across continents in search of the finest materials to develop the luxurious scents. In addition to fine perfumes and colognes, the company creates exceptional make up and illustrious skin care for the face and body. All products are original, authentic name brands. We do not sell knockoffs or imitations.

Hey everyone, it's Sarah. And today I'll be reviewing Shalimar's parfum, Initial. This beautiful perfume was released in 2011. And I like it because it's a warm floral, and you can really smell the rose when you first spray it. It's also blended with vanilla, and jasmine, white musk, tonka bean, patchouli, and other green accords. I would recommend wearing this luminous fragrance on special occasions and evenings out. All right everyone, that's all for today. Remember, if you want to see more reviews on your favorite products, subscribe to our YouTube channel.

Wish I Could Buy It

After several samples of this delicious scent I ordered a larger bottle. Alas, I received Shalimar Initial instead of Shalimar Initial L'Eau. I decided to keep it rather than hassle with a return, and I sometimes use the Initial. I tried again and was excited when the packaging box stated

Initial L'Eeau, only to find that the perfume bottle revealed it as Initial. Can't afford to try again but am VERY disappointed.

Alas no!

After reading the descriptions and all the various "notes" it had, I ordered, thinking it would smell as good as the original Shalimar that I used to love when I was in college. Alas, no! I don't even know how to describe the dominant fragrance that persisted, but it is nothing like the one from

the seventies and if I could return it I would. I have tried the regular Shalimar too and it has changed. So many of the classic fragrances I used to wear are either long gone or way different and I haven't found anything I really enjoy wearing anymore. Disappointed again, I should have ordered a sample dram first.Expensive lesson.

I would buy this perfume again

This is an absolutely gorgeous perfume I get compliments every time I wear it sadly it is very expensive so I made my one special purchase for my birthday . This is a modern fresher Shalimar with notes of citrus iris jasmine and rose without being overwhelming and then the vanilla and Tonka bean are also more restrained it is lighter than the original but is superlative femininity in a beautiful bottle

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Lovely fragrance

I used to wear classic Shalimar but found it too "heavy" in recent years. This fragrance is the same but much lighter. I'm so happy that I can now enjoy the scent of Shalimar again.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

just as good as the Queen

The original Shalimar smells dated to my nose and very pungent smelling when over-applied. This version is Fabulous... nothing but powder and citrus accords that make me feel like I've had a full nights sleep. Alive, fresh, sparkling ready for my summer adventure. I don't think of this as a spring scent only because it's still very cold here during those months. This needs the sunshine. Buy it you won't be sorry! This was a blind-buy for me and I'm glad I took the chance.

My Most Wonerful Scent - Shalimar

I love Shalimar and have since I was a teenager. When I married, every birthday I got a bottle as my gift. Then, suddenly, all my sources dried up. I did not receive any for 5 whole years. I was devastated. Then a miracle happened. In a kiosk in an airport, a dear friend of mine found a bottle o Shalimar. She bought it. On the gift bag was an email addy. I sent off a mail with my phone number and addy. They called and said they were not a source, but gave me you. I have never been without my Shalimar for nearly 4 years now. I wear it every day, even if I am only gardening. You are so prompt with your delivery. The items are well packaged. I also appreciate the files you encl You have a steady customer in me. Never run our of Shalimar!

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

I would buy this product again

I was an Opium user for 20 years. I stopped using perfume for monetary reasons and developed an allergy to perfume. So I order two from Fragrance X and Shalimar Parfum Initial L'eau works wonders for me. No allergy.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.
