AnimalWhat does Shalimar Fourreau du Soir smell like?
It opens with bergamot, lemon and mandarin orange for a citrus lift, with cedar adding a dry woody edge. In the heart, jasmine, rose and iris give a floral, powdery face, while vetiver and patchouli ground it. The base carries vanilla and sandalwood for sweetness, and leather, civet and musk pull it in an animalic, smoky direction. The overall impression is sweet, spicy and warm.
Its profile is close to Guerlain Shalimar Black Mystery and Guerlain Shalimar Parfum Initial.
