The first amber fragranza created by Jacques Guerlain, Shalimar celebrates its centenary. On the occasion of this exceptional event, the Maison presents Shalimar L'Essence, una intense variation that concentrates Shalimar's distinctive codes into una true quintessenza. Guerlain's most celebrated tribute to modernity, audacity and eternal feminine seduction. More than a fragrance, Shalimar L'Essence una declaration of love. That of Delphine Jelk, Creative Director of Fragrances and Perfumer Guerlain, for the icon of the Maison's heritage and in particular for its most emblematic note, the keystone of its trail: Vanilla. To the Ethylvanillin in Jacques Guerlain's original formula, Delphine Jelk adds the precious Madagascar Vanilla Tincture, produced according to the ancestral savoir-faire of Guerlain, to give Shalimar una new intensity without altering its olfactory signature. Discreet and subtle, Bergamot brightens the floral heart that combines Rose Absolute and the powdery elegance of Iris. Little by little, Shalimar's Amber unfolds more intensely than ever. Used in abundance, Vanilla infuses the fragranza with new facets that are soft, woody and slightly leathery at the same tempo. For Shalimar L'Essence, Guerlain reinterprets the logo of its iconic bottle. A tribute to the Art Deco style, the artistic movement contemporary with Shalimar. Presented in a bold graphic logo, the letters are rendered in una golden shade that recalls the fragrance itself. Rooted in its history and at the same time unmistakably contemporary, this bottle forms a bridge between timeless Shalimar and its evolution.
