The first amber fragrance in history, created by Jacques Guerlain, Shalimar celebrates its 100th anniversary. For this exceptional event, the house unveils Shalimar L'Essence, an intense variation that concentrates the distinctive codes of Shalimar: its quintessence. A tribute to the modernity, boldness and eternal seduction of Guerlain's most famous feminine. More than a fragrance, Shalimar L'Essence is a declaration of love. That of Delphine Jelk, Creative Director of Guerlain Perfumes, to the house's heritage icon, and in particular to its most emblematic note, the keystone of its sillage: vanilla. To the ethylvanillin present in Jacques Guerlain's original formula, Delphine Jelk adds the precious Madagascar vanilla tincture derived from ancestral Guerlain know-how, to give Shalimar a new intensity without altering its signature. Discreet and subtle, bergamot illuminates the floral heart that combines rose absolute with the powdery elegance of iris. Little by little, Shalimar's amber unfolds, deeper than ever. Used in overdose, vanilla infuses it with new facets that are at once sweet, woody and slightly leathery. For Shalimar L'Essence, Guerlain reinterprets the logo of its iconic bottle. A nod to Art Deco, the artistic movement contemporary with Shalimar. Assembled into a bold, graphic logo, the letters are rendered in a golden hue that echoes the color of the juice itself. At once rooted in its history and resolutely contemporary, the iconic bottle builds a bridge between the eternal Shalimar and the Shalimar of tomorrow.
