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
If you came here expecting restraint, turn back now. Vanilla runs the show and the supporting cast (sandalwood, animal notes, iris) only amplifies its presence.Vanilla
