Shalimar Eau de Cologne combines bergamot, mandarin, cedar and lemon with patchouli, jasmine, rose and orris over vanilla, benzoin, Peru balsam and leather. Shalimar (1925) was one of the first perfumes built on synthetic ethylvanillin, and bergamot's brightness against that vanilla is the whole trick. The EDT, EDP, extrait and the separately named Shalimar Cologne are different.
What Wearers Say
