About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
This 2015 edition of Shalimar, composed by Thierry Wasser, opens with a bright citrus quartet of lemon, bergamot, lime, and grapefruit. The top notes are sharp and effervescent, but they quickly give way to a floral heart of freesia, rose, and jasmine. The base is a classic Guerlain signature: vanilla, orris, and white musk, with a powdery iris facet that lingers. The citrus is dominant (100% accord), but the vanilla and powder soften it into a wearable, modern interpretation.
Collectors who appreciate the original Shalimar's DNA will find this version lighter and more sparkling, ideal for daytime or warmer months. It suits those who love citrus-forward orientals with a powdery finish. The 2015 reformulation is a fresh take, not a replacement for vintage. If you seek a bright, approachable Shalimar with the same base warmth, this is a worthy addition.
中文簡介
2015年由Thierry Wasser調配的Shalimar，以檸檬、佛手柑、青檸與葡萄柚的明亮柑橘開場，清新跳躍。中調轉為小蒼蘭、玫瑰與茉莉的花香，柔美優雅。基調是香草、鳶尾與白麝香，帶有經典的粉質感，鳶尾的粉末氣息貫穿其中。柑橘調佔比極高，但香草與粉感平衡了酸澀，呈現現代而易穿的風格。
適合喜愛柑橘東方調、偏愛粉質收尾的收藏家。此版本較原版輕盈，適合日間或溫暖季節使用，是Shalimar家族中活潑的變奏，值得入手。
