What do reviewers say about Shalimar L'Essence and Dania?
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
The kind of sweetness that doesn't ask permission. Coconut and vanilla make this more than a floral, they make it a mood. Warm from the first spray, lingering close to the skin throughout the day.Dania
