What do reviewers say about Transfixed and Shalimar?
The green, narcotic floral opening catches people off guard. Then tobacco and vanilla step in, turning sweet and powdery into something that actually means something. Transfixed is the one.Transfixed
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
