What do reviewers say about Shalimar and Vanille Patchouli?
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
If you want a vanilla that does not shy away from the dark side, this delivers. The patchouli keeps the sweetness honest, and the praline note feels less dessert, more sophisticated indulgence.Vanille Patchouli
