What do reviewers say about Shalimar and Cuir de Russie?
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
It doesn't announce itself. The aldehydes catch you off-guard, bright, almost soapy, then everything goes soft. Violet leaf and leather exist in the same sentence without competing.Cuir de Russie
