Shalimar, the first amber fragrance ever created by Jacques Guerlain, is celebrating its 100th anniversary. To mark this exceptional event, the House unveils Shalimar L’Essence, an intense variation that encapsulates the distinctive codes of Shalimar: its quintessence. A tribute to modernity, audacity, and the eternal seduction of Guerlain's most famous feminine fragrance.
More than just a perfume, Shalimar L’Essence is a declaration of love. Delphine Jelk, Director of Creation for Guerlain Perfumes, pays homage to the Maison's heritage icon, especially to its most emblematic note, the cornerstone of its trail: vanilla. In addition to the ethylvanillin present in Jacques Guerlain's original formula, Delphine Jelk adds the precious vanilla tincture from Madagascar, a result of Guerlain's ancestral expertise, to offer a new intensity to Shalimar without altering its signature.
Subtle and discreet, bergamot lights up the floral heart that combines rose absolute with the powdery elegance of iris. Over time, Shalimar's amber unfolds, deeper than ever. Used in excess, the vanilla infuses it with new facets that are both soft, woody, and slightly leathery.
For Shalimar L’Essence, Guerlain reinterprets the logo of its iconic bottle. A nod to Art Deco, the contemporary artistic movement of Shalimar. Crafted into a bold and graphic logo, the letters are designed in a golden shade reminiscent of the fragrance itself. Anchored in its history yet decidedly contemporary, the iconic bottle acts as a bridge between the eternal Shalimar and that of tomorrow.
