What do reviewers say about Shalimar and Private Room?
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
The gourmand sweetness is the whole point. If you want a quiet floral, keep walking. But if you want a fragrance that wraps around you and doesn't let go for hours, this is the one worth trying.Private Room
