What do reviewers say about Shalimar L'Essence and Le Regent?
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 is the fragrance for someone who doesn't need a room to know they've entered it. The balsamic sweetness isn't aggressive, it's the kind of confidence that sits across from you and doesn't say.Le Regent
