About
More than a perfume, Shalimar L’Essence is a declaration of love. One made by Delphine Jelk, Guerlain Director of Perfume Creation and Perfumer, to the Maison’s heritage icon, and specifically to its most emblematic note. The cornerstone of its scent, the secret of its universal seduction: vanilla. Tender and sensual, enveloping and seductive, the precious pod is a symbol of Guerlain’s palette. An essential element in the Guerlinade that distinguishes many of the Maison’s fragrances.
