What do reviewers say about Shalimar and Kashnoir?
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
Powder that doesn't whisper. The orange blossom absolute arrives with a presence most fragrances only suggest, and once the vanilla-to-benzoin base settles in.Kashnoir
