Shalimar by Guerlain is a true classic of French perfume. It was the first to use artificial vanilla which produces a scent that is almost overwhelmingly intense, and started the fashion for Oriental fragrances. Shalimar, meaning "home of love" in Sanskrit, was inspired by the tragic love story of an Emperor and has been bought for dazzling women throughout the decades. The vanilla heart is complemented by jasmine, cedar and mandarin for the ultimate representation of luxury and romance.
