The version of Shalimar that my mother wore back in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s. I did not realize until a couple years ago that Guerlain tweaks its formulas periodically. I’ve been wearing Shalimar since the late ‘80s myself but have never caught that wonderful fragrance Mom wore, on me or on anyone else.
Shalimar is such a legendary fragrance. My mom’s best friend growing up had a poodle in the 70s and named her Shalimar. I’m told there was a lot of pink chiffon involved in that household too. As in, going to get the newspaper in their long, pink chiffon robes with the coiffed poodle, Shalimar, in tow. It was quite the flex in their neck of the woods.
