How I found God (in the olfactory sense)
Shalimar was a very special experience for me. As one of the original stars of classic perfume art, this Guerlain knocked my socks off at the time, so much so that I've been going through the world differently ever since. I lost faith and rediscovered it.
But to start.
Who is perfumo-knowledgeable, the eternal number one among the women's fragrances will have quickly noticed: Shalimar, the Extrait. In the high pleasure of this golden elixir I was unfortunately not allowed to come (30ml about 300€ -aua-), the "normal" Shalimar lets you guess but what awaits you.
Since sat, and that was due to the circumstances that Douglas puts the "classics" down on the shelf as if no one would want to buy them, so I sat in front of the Guerlain shelf and looked at this beautiful, elegant, oriental bottle. Makes joy for more.
to the fragrance:
Sprayed on - bäh. No, at this point, my untrained nose did not get along with the oriental spice-balsam bomb. I was disappointed, after all, the EdT on Parfumo has a handsome 8.6, a rating that left me pensive, I had lost my faith.
The enlightenment came on the way back, you give the whole thing but still a second chance. And then, miraculously, I found myself on the Orient Express. I smell a godlike balsamic vanilla, which pulls me under its spell and does not let go - or is it me who can not let go? We're dealing with a genderless charmer here who excites everything around him. Remember the final scene in Perfume? Where Jean-Baptiste gets eaten because he smells like an angel? Well, with Shalimar, you can smell like God. If he/she/it smells like that, I'll gladly go through the pearly gates!
