Memories of a Lifetime
Shalimar....oh my first memories of Christmas gifts in a little velvet box.....so pretty and the bottle so special with the little silk tie. My Mom getting dressed and the special scent of Shalimar. I can see her now with her black velvet heels, putting on her long black coat, gloves, red lipstick, hair just so and again the scent of Shalimar. I've lived a life with that beautiful scent. My Mom lived until she was 94 years old and still wore 'Shalimar. When I open my Shalimar and dab it on my neck and wrists....I close my eyes and it's Christmas morning or a special outing with my Mom and I'm a little girl. It's wonderful....the scent has taken me through a lifetime of beautiful memories. Nothing can compare to the warm scent that once you smell it you never forget it. I have a lifetime of memories every time I put on Shalimar....it's just wonderful. Thank you for a life long memory! Soon it will be a gift for my granddaughters to start another lifetime of memories. They all snuggle with me and put their heads in the crook of my neck and always say Grandma ;you smell so good.....thank you Mom and Shalimar!!

Very unpleasant
I was exciting to try this but it was not for me. At first spray I knew it was a scrubber. It has an acrid smell that was very hard to scrub off. I am not sure why women find this so wonderful, to me it was simply nauseating.

outstanding
If your lady means anything to you, buy her something that she will treasure for a very long time. Please do not compromise with Eau of this or that, get the real thing. Buy her only Shalimar Perfume, They will even give you time to pay for if if you need that, but for god sake, make her feel like she means something special or you will never get any where.

Shalimar Perfume
I've loved Shalimar since I was nine yeras old. My mother is a nurse and one of her students gave her Shalimar as a gift. She let me have the small container of shower gel. I would smell it everyday. I kept it by my bed in my old pencil box. When I became a teenager Ma bought Shalimar for my birthday. I love it. In college one of my girlfriends said it was an old lady scent. I told her it was a classic beautiful scent. I've tried other scents and I wear other scents; however I always come home to my first signature scent. It's unmistakable! Plus the bottle looks lovely on your dresser.

Shalimar Perfume
I absolutely adore this perfume. I had the Eau de Toilette first, but I found that it didn't last that long. This lasts all day and makes me feel, not just sexy, but womanly in the total sense of the word. I love the history behind it, it's Shalimar for me me for the rest of my life.

A classic never goes out of style
This perfume was introduced to mewhen I worked the fragrance counter - in my late teens. I swore I would wear it when I was old enough. I've been wearing it now for over 20 years - and it is still as fresh and seductive, yet calming and so familiar. The perfume is so much better than the eau de toilette or eau de parfume. The real stuff lasts - and doesn't go rancid. Nothing like a good French perfume. Anything else pales in comparison.
