Shalimar Parfum Initial L’Eau

In the beginning, there was a legendary perfume, a share of Guerlain’s genius that has been bequeathed and, from fragrance to fragrance, is renewed to reveal more contemporary facets. Shalimar Parfum Initial L’Eau is composed as a new initiation into sensuality and innocence that draws its fragrant impulses from a legendary olfactory construction, with perceptibly fresher, more velvety and tender accents. A story may be short or long; what’s important is that it is beautiful, that there are surprises, imagination, promises… and substance. The lineage of this new variation of Shalimar Parfum Initial is clear. Subtle transformation is the guiding thread of this light scent, like a diaphanous feather or a flutter of chiffon. Shalimar Parfum Initial L’Eau is writing a new page to the glor y of modern femininity – and sensuality. A perpetual awakening conceived as a scented and emotional handing down, the moment when it all begins, in which original freshness seems reborn. While the atmosphere and charm remain, the olfactory impression of this creation is, however, lighter and more transparent, different in its slender and enveloping intensity. But just as addictive as its recently launched elder sibling, from which it is distinguished by the charm and whisper of new raw ingredients with incredibly delicate scents, especially neroli and jasmine. This both sensual and fresher sequel highlights an unexpected concentration of citrus notes, notably bergamot, which is a touch greener and zestier, derived from a communelle specially chosen by Thierry Wasser . To underline the precise nature of this fragrance, he has added premium neroli essence along with a slight dash of grapefruit zest. This ardent freshness of the top notes unfolds throughout the fragrance, creating its originality and distinctive identity. Guerlain’s expertise is expressed from top to bottom, with the cherished notes of the Guerlinade, reinvented by Thierr y Wasser. At the top, there is Bergamot. The hear t unveils the floral facets, precious Damascena rose and vibrant iris, accompanied by a communelle of grandiflora jasmine from Grasse, India and Egypt with a subtle and evanescent character. At the base, tonka bean, which adds its almond gourmand facet, and of course, smooth, almost sensual vanilla, the very essence of Shalimar. Shalimar Parfum Initial L’Eau adopts the bottle with the sensual cur ves and the sapphire blue cap. The grace and codes of the legendar y bottle are present, displaying an unchanging and irreproachable family resemblance. L’Eau is distinguished by a powdery pink tassel attached to its neck, whereas the previous version was grey blue. A legendar y object, Shalimar is an adventure that is continually being reborn. With L’Eau, Shalimar Parfum Initial is making its mark on a new woman’s story.
