I do love Shalimar because it has the deep and dirty base that lacks in most modern perfume and I love civet as a note, it gives fumes that dirty, animalic, very sensual feel that I am in love with; anymore I almost inclined to only buy fumes that include civet:))) Unfortunately I have been unable to test the other classics from Guerlain and that makes me sad as I have a feeling I would love them.

Most of the iconic perfumes from that era were dirty, and that is what people found sexy. It is dirty. Most of the iconic perfumes from that era were dirty, and that is what people found sexy.

I don't smell any clean notes vanilla, jasmine, rose or patchouli. but there is something kind of spicy and dark, is that tonka bean? this really is a weird scent, I don't smell any sexiness in it either. I like the bottle though. I can see why it's appealing and I can see why a lot of people think it nice. it smells like a classic fragrance (well I guess it is). it smells to me like Guerlain's version of Chanel No5. I thought you might have lol

I think it's supposed to smell like a classic but it has a really weird twist. I never thought I'd own shalimar, I've just always wanted to know what it smelled like (I don't like it) so I won't be buying any :) I found the eau de toilette in a perfume shop in Tenerife

Sephora carries a few also, including Shalimar. Neiman Marcus & Saks both have a decent (but not at all comprehensive) Guerlain selection. Sephora carries a few also, including Shalimar.
