What do reviewers say about Shalimar and Paradise?
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
This is the contradiction you didn't know you wanted: sweet honeysuckle threaded with smoke. Oriental warmth that stays close to the skin instead of announcing itself.Paradise
