What do reviewers say about Shalimar Millésime Iris and Iris Shot?
Guerlain made this for someone who already knows what they want. The powder isn't subtle, it's the whole point. But the vanilla underneath gives it warmth, not cool.Shalimar Millésime Iris
Iris Shot is not a typical iris fragrance. It leans more metallic and aldehydic than powdery, and the blackcurrant and cardamom create an unexpected electricity in the opening.Iris Shot
