Available on Saks Fifth Avenue Buy nowWHAT IT IS The first amber perfume in history, created by Jacques Guerlain, Shalimar celebrates its 100th anniversary. An homage to the timeless modernity of Guerlain's most famous scent for women, this Intense Eau de Parfum celebrates vanilla in every form. The Guerlain perfumer has added the precious Madagascan vanilla tincture to the ethylvanillin found in Jacques Guerlain's original Shalimar, giving it a new intensity. More than a perfume, Shalimar L'Essence is a declaration of love. One made by Delphine Jelk, Guerlain Director of Perfume Creation and Perfumer, to the Maison's heritage icon, and specifically to its most emblematic note, the cornerstone of its scent: vanilla. Discreet and subtle bergamot illuminates the floral heart, which blends rose absolute with the powdery elegance of iris. Little by little, Shalimar's amber note unfolds, deeper than ever. Used in abundance, vanilla infuses it with new facets smooth and woody with a hint of leather. Enveloped in the comfort of musk, Shalimar's inimitable trail reaches its peak in this captivating contemporary variation. Guerlain has reinterpreted the logo of its iconic bottle for Shalimar L'Essence. A nod to Art Deco, the artistic movement contemporary to Shalimar. Assembled in a bold graphic logo, the letters are crafted in a golden shade reminiscent of the perfume itself. Firmly anchored in its history yet unmistakably contemporary, the Shalimar L'Essence bottle forms a bridge between the eternal Shalimar and its future iteration. Made in France.
