The drydown is fantastical by the way, it is Neonatura without the patchouli and Indecence with out the spice it is so warm and inviting, all stages of this perfume are diffrent and beautiful and the veil of shalimar is the kicker which places Legere into my new favorite perfume of all time.

The lemon is discreet, the flowers are lovely and when the base notes are started to develop… that powdery scent makes me think of babies! For everyday use, from dusk till dawn.
This fragrance, from a girl turns you into a woman. I don’t find it old - fashioned at all! Classic, irresistible, absolutely!
Too bad, everyone knew about this fragrance except me! I’m inadmissible (lol)!


Oh well, the fragrance is great anyway. The top notes can make some people frown as it's very sour and sweet at the same time. In the middle notes the sour notes get weaker and not so prominent, letting the powdery vanilla in. And the base is the best - powdery vanilla-grapefruit. Yummy!
Shalimar Legere is a sister to Lavanila Laboratories Vanilla Grapefruit, their bases are almost identical.
The lasting power is great.



Unfortunately this impressive perfume is too strong and give me a headache. So pity that I can't wear it.

This fragrance opens with beautiful and fresh citrus notes. I was taken aback, not in a bad way, it was a good surprise in a Guerlain scent. Then it setles down to a powdery vanilla that stays on for a long time. I find it original and sexy but it took me a while to make up my mind about it.

Shalimar Light (which is now discontinued) opens with a very strong lemon-oil furniture polish note, which fortunately dissipates in a few minutes. Very quickly we're on to orange blossom, light citrus, and jasmine, with a hint of the vanillic base showing through. This is very rich, even for an EDT. The base is warm and vanilla-y, without the "dirtiness" of the original. I've heard some people describe this one as lemon custard, but to me it's far richer and sexier than the idea of lemon custard. Beautiful. This may be my next full bottle, if I can find it - high praise, since I rarely buy full bottles.
EDIT: Found it on ebay and am buying ASAP. This stuff is gorgeous.

It seems to me it's a very gentle fragrance. Starts with sharp citrus notes and dries down to a very soft iris with a little bit of vanilla. I like it a lot but it was strange that the first time i tried it seemed to me to have only citrus notes.
Today I am putting it in my wish list.
Another strange fact is that the fragrance reminds me of my childhood and my grandmother's wardrobe aroma. She had planted many irises in the garden and probably the roots that she kept during wintertime gave its aroma to the clothes in the wardrobe. That's why the fragrance I find a little retro but very seductive at the same time.
I would wear it in autumn/winter or early spring- for the cold days.

It´s like a daytime version of Shalimar and still with lots of class, sensuality and thrill.
When the vanilla comes to play, it has evolved to a woody, lingering and kind of rich smelling fragrance.
It is a bit oldfashioned and I think some could find it too oldfashioned. But I don´t, neither this one or the original.
Like it a lot and would like to have a big bottle of it. Marvelous stayingpower.

It opens with some powerfull citrus notes and then they melt down into a powdery amber-vanilla base, which on me is delicious!
It is also a long lasting smell.
On my skin it resambles to Roma - Laura Biagiotti...


Like me! I adore this scent.
Good for people who think that original Shalimar is lovely, but little bit too old fashion style.
