What do reviewers say about Ashoka and Shalimar?
Ashoka isn't trying to win you over in the first spray. That green-fierce opening either lands immediately or doesn't, but the payoff is the softly floral heart that comes after.Ashoka
Shalimar is aldehydic history bottled, but it remains surprisingly Intimate on skin. The opening feels bright, the heart powdery and romantic, and the drydown is just plain cuddly.Shalimar
