Perfume by Guerlain - Shalimar Fragrance

Most of the fragrances that deserve eternity are fragrances inspired by images or stories - stories of love between a man and a woman. Such a love story inspired Jacques Guerlain to create a wonderful fragrance - "Shalimar". Shalimar is a garden - a garden of love. And the word itself, translated from ancient Persian, is "pleasure." It is unique scent, which in France is still among the most demanded and sold.

The ruler of the Mughal Empire in India Shah Jahan (1627 - 1658) erected the magnificent Taj Mahal palace, surrounded by gardens, where there were many beautiful flowers and of course roses. He built this palace of white marble in memory of his beloved and beautiful wife. The enchanting aroma "Shalimar" - the aroma of seduction, was created in the 20s of the last century. In 1925, the whole world of the beautiful half of humanity learned about him.

Guerlain Shalimar perfume

This composition of oriental spirits is a bright touch of those turbulent years when women, during the First World War, who changed their image, learned, or rather were forced to learn independence. Many of them ended up at the machine, at the workplace of their husbands. They learned to make money, manage their income, they learned to be independent. But men, whose number after the war had decreased almost three times, of course, they were interested. The competition was tough, therefore, in order to attract attention, one had to go for the most daring actions: shorten the dress, make unusually deep cutouts on the back (this was much more difficult to do on the chest, since corsets were no longer worn). And the seductive perfume that Guerlain Shalimar turned out to be very useful.

It was at this time that Jacques Guerlain managed to create the image of that woman, from whom a man “loses his head” - a bright and seductive image that takes him away. An enchanting scent of the East, in which a fresh burst of bergamot and lemon gradually gives way to accords of rose and jasmine, and then enchants with a cloud of vanilla, tonka bean, orris root, incense and opopanax.

Baccarat crystal bottle with blue sapphire fan-shaped cork evokes sophistication and luxury. It is decorated with a tassel, which is always done by hand. And the bottle itself resembles a fountain, probably one of those that were in the Shalimar garden.

Guerlain Shalimar fragrance with bright image of the East and a seductive woman is calculated for eternity. His success was and always will be great. It captivates both the senses and the imagination, it is full of sultry and sweet aroma.
