    What do reviewers say about Happy Diamonds and Shalimar?

    This is unabashedly romantic and feminine in a classic sense. The civet and ambergris give it vintage character that modern perfumery rarely attempts.Happy Diamonds
    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
