Shalimar L'Essence (2025) is a modern oriental that reinterprets the classic Shalimar structure with a focus on almond, incense, and iris. The top opens with almond and incense, brightened by bergamot. The heart weaves iris, ethylvanillin, amber, opoponax, and rose, creating a powdery, balsamic sweetness. The base anchors with Madagascar vanilla, musk, tonka bean, benzoin, and leather, delivering a deep, resinous finish. Collectors will appreciate the prominent vanilla (100%) and amber (87%) accords, balanced by powdery (80%) and iris (66%) nuances. This scent suits those who love gourmand orientals with a vintage soul, ideal for evening wear or cool weather. It's a worthy addition for Guerlain enthusiasts seeking a contemporary take on a timeless theme.
