About
The inspiration for Shalimar Parufm Initial: “It was a real challenge, allowing the perfume to evolve in time, 85 years after its creation, without distorting it and retaining the alchemy that makes it so desirable. I had to lighten but not disown the fragrance, transpose but not betray it. Create the future while honouring the past,” Thierry Wasser, Perfumer.
