Description

Shalimar is the first oriental in the history of perfumery. Inspired by the story of an intense love between Emperor Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal, Shalimar, which in Sanskrit means "Temple of Love", forever symbolizes the essence of desire, the promise of eternal love. . The myth continues with Shalimar Philtre de Parfum. An Eau de Parfum like the quintessence of sensuality associated with Shalimar. A gentle variation thanks to the velvety powdery notes, like a refined and addictive potion. Oriental Refined, sensual, addictive. Philtre de Parfum prolongs the myth by magnifying the velvety facets of iris and sensual vanilla, for a trail as soft as a refined and addictive philtre. A flight of lavender, lemon and bergamot exudes a breath of freshness in the top. The floral heart is warmed by enveloping and delicately powdery notes of iris, jasmine and rose. In the base, patchouli and tolu balsam bring a bewitching dimension to the gourmet warmth of vanilla, and orchestrate an ultra sensual symphony. Four centuries ago, in India, Emperor Shah Jahan fell madly in love with Princess Mumtaz Mahal. He created the marvelous gardens of Shalimar for her, then dedicated the Taj Mahal to her, one of the new seven wonders of the world. This incredible story fired the imagination of Jacques Guerlain, who in 1925 created Shalimar, the first oriental perfume in history.
