Ylang-ylang and mandarin in the opening give it an immediate sweetness that might surprise those expecting something sharper. It's a soft, sweet embrace.Sable d'Orient
Shalimar is aldehydic history bottled, but it remains surprisingly Intimate on skin. The opening feels bright, the heart powdery and romantic, and the drydown is just plain cuddly.Shalimar
