    What do reviewers say about Shalimar L'Essence and Ballerina No 3?

    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
    This one doesn't whisper. The pepper kick lands first, no apology, and the oud brings the warmth without the weight. It's a rose with actual personality.Ballerina No 3
