What do reviewers say about L'Origan and Shalimar?
This fragrance doesn't announce itself. It arrives quietly, stays long, and leaves an impression that lingers past the last spray. The powdery warmth at the base is the thing people remember.L'Origan
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
