Real talk
This is jasmine done in a warm, steam-like style, not synthetic. The citrus opens cleanly. The tea provides an astringent counterpoint to the florals.The Nirvana
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
