Description
Guerlain introduced two variants of their classic fragrance, Shalimar, produced back in 1952, in Sprng 2009. These are sensual reinterpretations of the original perfume, decorated with elegant flowers and beautiful applications on the flacons. Dark and light Shalimar, fragrances for day and evening, is presented to the market in spring 2009, as EDT and EDP, with opulent, dominant vanilla accords in both editions.
Eau de Shalimar hides in the light flacon and is created of lime and orange, along with luminous bergamot scents. A heart features rose and jasmine, while a base includes a mixture of vanilla and ambergris. The fragrances are available in flacons of 75 ml as limited editions for 2009.

This Shalimar is divine! I’m biased however. Guerlain junkie at best! A freshness with a sweet powdery softness. The sweetness is not overwhelming. It’s well balanced. The longevity and sillage are excellent. I find Shalimar and most its flankers to be sultry, suductive and very addicting. This specific Flanker garnishes me many compliments. A bonus is the bottle. Yes, I like to collect the limited editions for keep sakes. The lemon and gentle Jasmin accompanied by the ambergris is just beautiful. If you haven’t gotten your hands on this one, hunt it down and add it to your collection. This fragrance does NOT disappoint.

I got this today, as i wanted a lemony fragrance, after reading the lovely reviews! First spray it smelt harsh citrus &, burnt rubber/ resin, I got worried! but didnt wash it off thankfully. After 5 mins that initial harshness was gone and now it’s a cloud of sweet, snuggly gentle citrus, vanilla, amber and wood with a gentle floral powder background.

Oh sweet heaven 🙂 i just got this in the mail today . what a beautiful treat . i simply love this. so bright, citrus lime whit a touch off sugery sweetnes. a real candy. the vanilla makes this so delicios.. I have heard and read that this is supossed to be the same as the Eau de Shalimar , only limeted bottle . Well .. I disagree. this is much more about sweetness and vanilla, then the eau de shalimar..
and the notes listed are infact different. In Eau de shalimar there is Iris and Resin , This i can not pick up at all in this special edition. i did not care to much about this notes in the original when i ones owned it. But now i nead to get nother bottle off it to find out closly:)
This is a realy soft take on Shalimar . I can feal i tiny hint off the original , but not to much . well it is closer to the edp then edt anyway. I am so so ower the moon happy about this one .
if there is a tiny down fall to this it is a bit weak.. not as strong as the other shalimars . But sprayed on clothes aswell this is a lovely thing for shure
I LOVE IT

NOTE- THIS IS A REVIEW OF SHALIMAR LIGHT- not the one on this page, but they have no shalimar light page on this site so I thought I would share my experience here.
I am a fan of shalimar, but it is a bit mature on its own. I have fb of shalimar edp and ode vanilla, a small bottle of the pure perfume, and shalimar light. I have read so many positive reviews of shalimar light over the past few years, that the first time I saw it for sale on amazon, it was with a lotion and shower gel, and I didnt really care about any of them but the perfume, but i still bought it. I can honestly say I understand the outrage of the discontinuation of this perfume, it is the best shalimar yet. It is a light version of shalimar without so much powder and is much less sharp than any of the other versions.
The lotion was watery, obviously gone bad. I agree with the reviews that this is the best shalimar, shalimar light.

I love the bottle, it’s so pretty! And the smell is so appropriate to hot weather, like in my country, so lemon juice and freshness.

I was given a bottle of this one. Very cute and romantic bottle, by the way.
The smell? Sweet lemon juice and delicate jasmin. Reminds me Jonhson baby powder …I think I will wear it to go to bed. jJust adorable.

Sweet powdery lemon with “burnt rubber”.
A light version of original Shalimar to be worn at daylight.
Weak staying power.

That is absolutely divine fragrance! So attractive! The top notes are gently fresh then you might smell a luxurious powderish aroma. The base notes are sweet, but without being agressive, and very intim. Very feminine, making you feel special at any moments of your life! This fragrance has also long lasting power. Without any doubts, creation of this parfime is absolute success of the Guerlain company!Bravo!
