    Real talk

    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
    Soft florals and powdery iris for someone who finds boldness unnecessary. Innocent wears close and gentle, built for intimacy over entrance. If you want a fragrance that announces itself.Innocent
