About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
Shalimar Initial, launched in 2011, reinterprets the classic Shalimar with a lighter, more contemporary touch. The top notes sparkle with bergamot, orange, and green notes, leading to a heart of iris, patchouli, vetiver, rose, and jasmine. The base is a warm blend of vanille, caramel, tonka bean, and musk. This oriental floral is characterized by dominant vanilla and powdery accords, supported by citrus, woody, iris, and earthy facets. It is a softer, more approachable take on the original, suitable for women who appreciate a sweet yet sophisticated scent. Ideal for daytime wear or casual evenings, it appeals to those who find the original Shalimar too heavy but still crave its DNA. Collectors of Guerlain flankers will appreciate its place in the Shalimar lineage.
中文簡介
Shalimar Initial 於2011年推出,是經典 Shalimar 的輕盈變奏。前調以佛手柑、橙和綠調揭開序幕,中調是鳶尾、廣藿香、香根草、玫瑰和茉莉,基調則以雲呢拿、焦糖、零陵香豆和麝香作結。香調結構以雲呢拿和粉感為主,輔以柑橘、木質、鳶尾和泥土氣息。氣質甜美而優雅,適合喜歡原版 Shalimar 但覺得太濃郁的女性。日常或休閒晚間場合皆宜,是收藏 Guerlain 副線的不錯選擇。

Price ranges are compiled from our own recorded transactions, not from asking prices.
A batch code cannot prove authenticity on its own, but it can expose contradictions — a code that decodes to a date before the fragrance existed, or a bottle and box that disagree.
