Guerlain introduced two variants of their classic fragrance, Shalimar, produced back in 1952, this spring. 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, will be available from 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.

Base Notes
It is divine. Is it true, that it's just limited bottle of Eau de Shalimar? If yes, I'm very glad, I can still buy that one.
This one opens with a slice of lemon sprinkled with vanilla sugar, you just want to lick it off. The lemon reminds me of Hadrien by Goutal. It lasts as "long" as this quality lemon scent. Which is still pretty long for a lemon. About 30 minutes.
Then the amber with vanilla take over, smooth silky powdery goodness. Then I start to smell the naphtalene from original Shalimar, but this unpleasant note is so weak in this version, that I still love the whole composition.
Oh and the bottle is stunning
A soft, warm, fluffy cloud of vanilla lifted in the opening notes by gentle citrus. Eau de Shalimar is a real comfort scent for me and very easy to wear. In fact, I can't think of anywhere or anytime it would be inappropriate. Winter, summer, day or evening, dressed up or casual. Perfect!
@ floof,
we have Shalimar Light in our database, it is just under the name Shalimar Legere (legere = light, in italian)
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.
I bought this perfume last saturday. Its a very seductive perfume. I love this perfume so much.Its like drug to ur nose and brain.Five star!!!
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!
