Real talk
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 will find it old-fashioned. That's the whole point. Pauline is for the person who's comfortable being remembered for something other than what's trending.Pauline
