I do not like a fragrance that you can smell from 10 feet away. I wore this about thirty years ago but due to my line of work (criminal justice) I chose to quit wearing any type of cologne. Now I'm retired and decided that I wanted to use a light fragrance again. After a visit to the cosmetic department of a major store, I didn't really like anything. After several sniffs, nothing smells right. That being said, I decided to look on line for a bottle of one of my old favorites. I used to love Shalimar and Chanel no. 22. Found out that no.22 is no longer made and what's still on the market really isn't affordable for me. Shalimar was still available at a decent price. Having gone without wearing fragrance for so many years, just a very small amount is perfect for me.

it didn't smell like Shalimar par fume when I first smelled it. But it is smelling better everyday. I guess its like wine and has to be exposed to the air and ripen to get that full bodied fragrance that Shalimar is famous for. It is one of my most favorite fragrances.

At first this perfume smells very old fashioned, almost out-dated, but the longer you wear it the more you realise how complex and interesting it is! I feel like it reminds everyone of something different from long, long ago. It's clean, powdery, sultry and feels like something you'd wear at an event where the ladies are in fabulous evening gowns, the men are in tuxedos, and people have to lean in to realise you smell amazing, because you've dabbed it on your wrists and behind your ears. I like the pink cotton candy drugstore perfumes quite a lot too, but this one is money--OLD MONEY to be exact, like a powdery, mature, immaculate lady in a vintage Chanel suit.

This is a beautiful bottle of Shalimar in all ways. The eau de parfum is more rich and long-lasting than the eau de toilette. It lasts for a very long time. The initial burst of exotic scent mellows and seems to become more rich over the course of the day. Or night. A deep, warm, fragrance that becomes a "signature" fragrance. The bottle itself is instantly recognizable as Shalimar, it is graceful and substantial. All in all, a perfect scent in a perfect bottle.

I love Shalimar! It is soft and yet lovely -- gains compliments everywhere I go. The scent lingers and doesn't disappear 10 minutes after I put it on. I also love it in the spray bottle -- makes it easy to apply and does not waste any by spilling. This is a wonderful value.
