Description
- Top Notes: A wave of freshness opens the fragrance with citrus notes like bergamot, lemon, and sometimes mandarin orange.
- Middle Notes: The heart reveals the soul of Shalimar. Here, warm and powdery notes of iris and vanilla take center stage, often accompanied by the warmth of rose and jasmine.
- Base Notes: The fragrance dries down to a rich and sensual base with notes of tonka bean, opoponax, leather, and sometimes civet (a controversial animalic note that might be reformulated out in some modern versions). These notes provide depth, warmth, and a touch of smokiness.
