    Sea salt and mastic. Either you're immediately in or you're not. The powdery floral heart that follows, heliotrope, Taif rose, mimosa, is where most people find their answer. Worth the 30-minute wait.Habanita Anniversary Edition
    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
