How does this version compare to the original Shalimar Eau de Parfum?+−
This version is much lighter on the smoky and animalic notes that define the original. It replaces the heavy resins with a prominent, multifaceted jasmine bouquet, making it feel more contemporary and less "vintage."
Is this fragrance a limited edition?+−
Yes, as part of the Millésime series, this is a 2024 limited-edition release. These flankers are typically produced for a short period and are highly sought after by collectors once they are no longer in production.
Is the jasmine in this scent very "indolic" or animalic?+−
No, the community consensus is that the jasmine used here is clean, honeyed, and solar. It avoids the "pissy" or overly-ripe smell sometimes found in jasmine-heavy perfumes, feeling more like fresh petals or green tea.
What is the best time of year to wear Shalimar Millésime Jasmin?+−
While the jasmine suggests spring, the rich vanilla and smoky base notes make it perform beautifully in the fall and winter. It is versatile enough for year-round wear, though it may feel a bit heavy in intense summer heat.
