Shalimar Eau de Parfum Guerlain for women

Shalimar was created by Jacques Guerlain in 1925, as a tribute to the legendary love story between Emperor SHAHJAHAN and his wife Mumtaz Mahal. Before he became emperor his name was Prince Khurram. According to the legend, twenty- year-old Prince Khurram met a young girl, named Arjumand Banu at the bazaar where her family worked. Mesmerized by her beauty, after becoming emperor, he made her his wife as Mumtaz Mahal, meaning the "Jewel of the Palace". After the wedding, the prince and Mumtaz were inseparable, in war and in peace. She had given 13 children to Shahjahan and died during the birth of their 14th child at the age of 39. Her death devastated Shah Jahan and had built Taj Mahal in memory of his wife and their undying love. Shalimar is named after ‘The Gardens of Shalimar’.It was Mumtaz’s favorite garden. Shalimar is one of the best selling perfumes ever and its magic is undeniable. Perfume is composed of citrus notes; lemon and bergamot, jasmine, may rose, opoponax, Tonka bean, vanilla, iris, Peru balsam and gray amber. The coolness of the citrus notes lead to a floral heart ending with a warm and luxurious trail.

Vetiver is masculine and elegant woodsy fragrance. It was created in 1961 and re-launched again in 2000. The bottle was changed and the color of the perfume, but the fragrance remained gorgeous, just like before. The top notes are bergamot, coriander, lemon, mandarin, and neroli; the heart unites vetiver and cedar wood; the base is composed of tobacco, walnuts, pepper, and Tonka bean.

Angelina Jolie was chosen as the face of the new perfume from the house of Guerlain, Mon Guerlain, coming out in March 2017. Jacques Guerlain said: "We create perfumes for the women we admire." Thierry Wasser was inspired by the "notes of a woman", or "the choices, emotions and dreams that embody modern femininity." The fragrance will be launched for the international market, with the notes of lavender and vanilla.

“Rose Chérie, it's the delight of a kiss at the bend of a street, it's the enchantment of a merry-go-round in Montmartre, it's the chic of Paris, it's life in pink,” explains the pafumer Delphine Jelk. A dapper, romantic score, built around the cosmetic effect of the pink-violet duo (in the vein of a Lipstick Rose by Frédéric Malle or a Misia from the Exclusives by Chanel), suffused with heliotropin and tonka bean.

"Guerlain Homme is an authentic call to adventure. Keen on discovery, man flourishes in a nature that he makes his own. Guerlain Homme Eau de Parfum revels in contrast: freshness and strength united in a mysterious and intense fragrance. This Eau de Parfum surprises with its vibrant freshness lent by the mojito accord, the fresh floral accord and the green woody accord, which come together in an intense composition. This strength ensures its powerful and refined trail. Guerlain Homme boasts a bolder, woodier personality. Modern in its geometry and rigorous in its form, the bottle – iconic of the Guerlain men’s fragrance collection – and its luxurious wooden cap are timeless figures of French elegance. The mojito accord (sweet lime, peppermint, rum) is made explosive thanks to an extra splash of rum. The floral accord recalls freshness and refinement. The green woody accord is reorchestrated for a more powerful trail and sensuality. Patchouli, cedar and vetiver are enhanced." - a note from the brand. Guerlain Homme Eau de Parfum is the repackaging and "reorchestration" of the previous Guerlain Homme Intense from 2009.
