    Real talk

    The blood orange opening is unapologetically sunny, the kind of citrus that doesn't ask permission to be cheerful. What keeps it interesting is everything that comes after.Sunshine
    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
