Shalimar, the first amber fragrance created by Jacques Guerlain, celebrates its 100th anniversary. To mark this exceptional occasion, the House unveils Shalimar L’Essence, an intense variation that captures the distinctive codes of Shalimar: its quintessence. A tribute to the modernity, audacity, and eternal seduction of Guerlain's most famous feminine fragrance.

More than a fragrance, Shalimar L’Essence is a declaration of love. That of Delphine Jelk, Creative Director of Parfums Guerlain, to the icon of the House's heritage, and especially to its most emblematic note, the keystone of its trail: vanilla. To the ethylvanillin present in Jacques Guerlain's original formula, Delphine Jelk adds the precious tincture of Madagascar vanilla, derived from ancestral Guerlain expertise, to give Shalimar a new intensity without distorting its signature.

Discreet and subtle, bergamot illuminates the floral heart, which combines rose absolute with the powdery elegance of iris. Little by little, Shalimar's amber unfolds, deeper than ever. Used in excess, vanilla infuses it with new facets that are simultaneously sweet, woody, and lightly leathery.
