    Real talk

    It's aldehydic without being intimidating, somewhere between a fresh soapy morning and something you actually want to wear at night. The rice powder note isn't typical, and it shouldn't work.Gold Issime
    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
