The first inhale of this delightful scent will send you top notes of fresh cedar, a bouquet of just-cut and ripe citruses like mandarin, lemon, and oranges without the overt sharpness some citrus scents may carry. At its heart, Shalimar perfume whisks you away to the garden itself with full blooming jasmine, roses, a touch of earthy patchouli, and vetiver that all arise from the middle notes. Shalimar perfume sets the final and base note with a solid, grounding foundation of layered scents such as civet, incense, a touch of leather, a hint of musk, opoponax, ancient sandalwood, tonka bean, and rich vanilla. This base then produces the essence of abundant nature and perfectly completes this aromatic story.
