Guerlain has launched Shalimar L'Essence, a new fragrance for women. Shalimar L'Essence is a limited edition flanker to 1925's Shalimar.
Few perfumes span ages and fashions without losing their aura. Shalimar, composed in 1925, is one of them. The first amber perfume in history created by Jacques Guerlain, Shalimar celebrates its 100th anniversary. To mark this exceptional event, the Maison is revealing Shalimar L’Essence, a new intense variation which concentrates Shalimar’s distinctive codes: its quintessence. A homage to the timeless modernity, daring and seduction of Guerlain’s most famous scent for women.
“To wear Shalimar is to let your senses take over.” Jacques Guerlain
This intense eau de parfum celebrates vanilla in every form. Delphine Jelk has added the precious Madagascan vanilla tincture stemming from Guerlain's ancestral know-how to the ethylvanillin found in Jacques Guerlain’s original formula, giving Shalimar a new intensity.
Discreet and subtle, bergamot illuminates the floral heart which blends rose absolute with the powdery elegance of iris. Little by little, Shalimar’s amber note unfolds. Used in abundance, vanilla infuses it with new facets – smooth and woody with a hint of leather.
Guerlain Shalimar L'Essence is available in 30, 50 and 90 ml Eau de Parfum Intense, $110 - $175.

I think that I would like to give this one a go since I do love Shalimar.
Worth a shot!
I want this for the bottle alone, and I’m glad they made the 30 ml size 🙂
me too Carole, I just ordered it.
I ordered yesterday. Apparently it’s been shipped already!
I did too, but haven’t gotten shipping notification yet😊 Probably will come in my email today.
I know some people did not like the bottle design but I love it.
I do too!
I love it too.
Other than not remembering my password but it let me through anyway, ordering was easy-peasy.
🙂
Resistance is futile. 🙂
I had little left in my PP account, so this was perfume-math free? Let’s go with that 😉
Yep!
Can’t wait to try this in a department store nearby on 9/1 ! I do hope I like it since Shalimar is part of my parents’ love story! 💗💗💗
Love this 😊
Mom still has the bottle Dad bought her as a First Wedding Anniversary gift, Lalique stopper and all intact. That bottle is going on 70 yrs!
That’s very cool.
Thanks for appreciating it ringthing! My journey into fragrance was kinda foretold imo.
I love stories like this!
Thank you mossyberry for telling me!
Just placed my order too. Can’t wait!
Will definitely sniff this when I find a tester bottle. I adore Shalimar, but all the current versions give me headache. 🤕 Hope this might be the one that works for me!
I’m putting this on my Christmas list. I’m hoping everyone who got one will report back on what they think.
Oh yes, i would also love to hear what others think of this one. 😊
I’m sure plenty will be chiming in.
Just joined the “ordered it” club. I was glad they had the 30ml, which I think will be adorable and the best-looking size for this design (but I ordered the 90ml ’cause I want to share and I love Shalimar). I am waiting to see it in person, but I was not a fan of the bottle at first glance.
Is it a limited edition flanker? Some reports online say it’s a permanent addition to the Shalimar lineup.
I thought so, will try to verify.
