What do reviewers say about Knowing Legacy and Shalimar?
The opening is dark fruit and animalic intensity. Bold. Confident. Made for the woman who already knows. This isn't a fragrance that introduces itself, it assumes you're already in the room.Knowing Legacy
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
