What do reviewers say about L'Aimant and Shalimar?
Aldehydes divide the room, and that's the point. This is powder in the French sense: not dusty, but sun-warmed. Rose and jasmine over wood. If you've ever wanted to know what your grandmother smelled.L'Aimant
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
