What do reviewers say about Shalimar and L'Air du Temps by Starck?
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
Some fragrances chase trends. This one doesn't. Built for the woman who walked into a room and made it hers before she sat down. The powdery warmth and vintage spice either pull you in or they don't.L'Air du Temps by Starck
