This is not a fragrance that fills a room. It's the one people notice when you're already gone. Creamy gardenia and jasmine bloom against a dark patchouli base, the florals stay lush.Carine
This is not your grandmother's Shalimar. L'Essence takes the classic in a more abstract direction with incense and almond leading the charge. The vanilla is still there but draped in smoke and iris.Shalimar L'Essence
