    What do reviewers say about Shalimar L'Essence and Fève Délicieuse (2018)?

    This is not your grandmother's Shalimar. L'Essence takes the classic in a more abstract direction with incense and almond leading the charge. The vanilla is still there but draped in smoke and iris.Shalimar L'Essence
    Opens cool. Finishes warm. Neither apologizes. Mint and lavender give way to chocolate and caramel in a way that feels less like a dessert and more like a dare.Fève Délicieuse (2018)
