    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
    Some fragrances want to fill the room. Secret Amber wants to be discovered on your skin. That close, powdery warmth, vanilla and amber wrapped in white musk, is exactly why people lean in.Secret Amber Eau de Parfum
