What can I possibly add to the volume of words that has been written about Shalimar? For years I thought I didn’t like it, turns out I just didn’t like it applied with an atomizer. Despite loving a strong application of most things, it chokes me out with too much of a good thing. Just a dab of extrait on the pulse points is the perfect way to experience Shalimar. For me it’s meant to be intimate and close to the skin. My bottle came to me still sealed from the 1980s and it’s a bit richer than the current extrait, but I love the current one as well. Anyone who thinks they don’t like Shalimar should try to test the extrait, or at least apply another concentration in dabs rather than sprays.

    Looks like a Saint Gobain bottle! Likely early 80’s!
