Shalimar: The Iconic Fragrance | GUERLAIN

Created in 1921, Shalimar was finally unveiled in 1925 after four years of intense research, shrouded in deepest secrecy. The mystery surrounding the perfume's creation was mirrored in its daring concept, from its unique Oriental scent to its iconic bevelled base and midnight-blue stopper. A groundbreaking departure from the fragrances of the day, Shalimar was instantly coveted by le 'tout-Paris' of the 1920s, and remains an integral part of the Maison's history to this day.
