Shalimar L’Essence by Guerlain is a luxurious Oriental fragrance for women, launched in 2025 and created by Guerlain perfumer Delphine Jelk. This new interpretation reimagines the legendary Shalimar with deeper intensity, modern elegance, and sensual richness.
The fragrance opens with a captivating blend of almond, incense, and bergamot, offering a warm yet luminous introduction. The heart unfolds into an opulent composition of iris, amber, rose, opoponax, and ethylvanillin, adding depth, softness, and addictive sweetness. The base settles into a sumptuous trail of Madagascar vanilla, musk, benzoin, tonka bean, and leather, creating a long-lasting, velvety, and seductive finish. Shalimar L’Essence is a powerful expression of timeless femininity and oriental sophistication.
