JASMINE, THE BEATING HEART OF AN EXCEPTIONAL MILLÉSIME
Symbol of a legendary love story, the myth of Shalimar’s eternal sensual scent is being reborn in an all-new light. In tribute to jasmine, the heart of the jewel created by Jacques Guerlain, the House unveils Shalimar Millésime Jasmin.
From the very first moment, bergamot’s tangy freshness blends in with its dazzling vegetal nuances, while the irresistible encounter between Indian, Italian, and Grasse grandiflorum jasmine and Indian sambac jasmine, radiates an inimitable seduction at its heart.
Balanced in its delicateness and sensuality, the most captivating facets of the starry duo blend harmoniously with the vanilla tincture, the signature of Shalimar’s legendary amber accord.
JASMINE, THE WHITE GOLD OF PERFUMERY AND TREASURE OF THE GUERLINADE
The beating heart of this new millésime, jasmine features a unique and delightful palette of aromas. It is to this treasure of nature and icon of the Guerlinade that Delphine Jelk, Guerlain Perfumer, pays tribute with a composition signed by the meeting of two exceptional jasmine essences. Faceted with precision and expert savoir-faire, the pairing showcases all its splendor at heart. The extract of sambac jasmine comes with its fruity, sunny and honeyed nuances, while the grandiflorum jasmine absolute exalts its deep and sensual fragrance.

AN ICONIC BOTTLE
Both a technical feat and daring gem, Shalimar Millésime Jasmin’s bottle pays tribute to the original Shalimar bottle designed in 1925.

For this limited edition, Shalimar’s famous “bat” label has been given a gold makeover to evoke jasmine’s unique brightness and precious appeal. The collar is adorned with a black leather tie, a distinctive mark of exceptional vintages, reflecting the nobility of the raw materials that compose them.
Shalimar, the icon
Nearly a century after it was first created, Shalimar continues to inspire both the women who cherish its fragrance and the Guerlain perfumers who have continued to compose superb new variations of the scent. Like never before, Shalimar remains a living legend.
