What do reviewers say about London and Shalimar?
This fragrance earns its name. The opening is genuinely aquatic-green, cucumber and violet leaf that reads like rain on stone, but it refuses to stay cool.London
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
