Description
The story behind this fragrance
Shalimar Parfum Initial L'Eau opens with bright citrus—bergamot and grapefruit snap against orange peel, neroli adding a white-floral tremor. The heart unfolds into a lush garden of iris and rose, lily-of-the-valley's green sweetness threading through jasmine warmth, freesia's airy lift keeping everything luminous. Tonka bean and vanilla emerge at the base, softening into creamy amber without heaviness. The whole arc feels weightless yet sensual, crisp florals dissolving into vanilla warmth.
