Introduced in 1925, Shalimar is the fragrance that generations of women have trusted for special and elegant evenings. Shalimar was inspired by the great love story of Indian Emperor Shah Jahan and his beloved wife, Mumtaz. Jacques Guerlain created the scent and named it after the Gardens of Shalimar, where their legendary love for each other grew. Guerlain's fragrance has stood the test of time and is still one of the world's best selling perfumes. Its heavenly mixture of exotic flowers and warm vanilla create an intoxicating feminine aroma, perfect for a dinner date or a night at the play.
