Amorem Rose

8.3

Shalini · 2018

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

Shalini Amorem Rose is a women's perfume that sets rose inside a sweet, spicy and smoky oriental frame. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters suggest autumn, followed by winter and spring, and evening and night-out wear lead the occasions. Feminine is the leading character vote, though a fair share call it masculine. The notes have no top, heart and base split, so it reads as a whole: Bulgarian damask rose forms the floral centre, saffron adds spice and amber brings sweetness. Mahogany wood and oud give it a woody, smoky backdrop. Lattafa Opulent Oud and Monkoku Rose Absolue have a close profile.

Most voters pick evening and night out, with leisure wear not far behind. It doesn't lean masculine or feminine; it reads as unisex. The notes have no top, heart and base split, so the scent reads as one piece: honey and pot marigold give a floral sweetness, while frankincense and myrrh add a resinous, smoky weight. Baltic amber and Spanish saffron blossom bring a spicy, oriental warmth. The creamy, gourmand side is clear, with a leathery shade in the background. Moresque Sandal Granada and Mind Games Grand Master have a close profile.

Vanille Rêve

8.0

Shalini · 2021

Floral · Sweet · Gourmand

Shalini Vanille Rêve is a sweet, creamy floral-gourmand unisex scent built around jasmine, tuberose and vanilla absolute. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. The sweetness and creamy texture make it sit close to the skin rather than fill a room, and it can be worn comfortably by women and men alike. Jasmine, tuberose and tiaré draw a floral frame, while vanilla absolute pulls it toward a soft, powdery sweetness. Aniseed adds a faint spicy touch in the background, and the gourmand side stays warm and creamy.

Shalini

8.1

Shalini · 2004

Fresh · Floral · Green

Shalini by Shalini is a women's fragrance that sets a floral heart of neroli, ylang-ylang and tuberose against a soft base of vanilla and sandalwood. Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin and leaves a quiet trail. The number of ratings is small, so this should be read as a rough guide. It opens fresh and lightly spicy with neroli, ylang-ylang and coriander. The heart turns floral with tiaré, tuberose and lily of the valley. In the base, musk, vanilla and sandalwood sweeten it and settle it into a creamy, woody ground, with green and earthy touches running through.

Jardin Nocturne

8.0

Shalini · 2017

Floral · Spicy · Woody

Shalini Jardin Nocturne is a female oriental that darkens a floral heart with spice, smoke and wood. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, so it stays on the skin for a long time and makes its presence known. There are no season or occasion votes, so all that can be said is that its dense, dark build is worn as a women's fragrance. The notes read as a single whole: saffron and Assam oud form a spicy, smoky spine. Jasminum auriculatum absolute carries the floral side, Mysore sandalwood adds a soft woodiness, and musk brings an animal warmth.

Paradis Provence

Fleur Japonais

8.4

Shalini · 2021

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

Shalini Fleur Japonais is a unisex scent where sandalwood, magnolia and Japanese cherry blossom meet in a floral, powdery character. The notes read as a single whole rather than in stages: Japanese cherry blossom and magnolia give it a fresh, fruity floral side, while sandalwood softens it. Labdanum and frankincense add a resinous, faintly smoky warmth. Sweet, spicy and oriental accents keep the flowers from staying purely light, pulling them toward a powdery, warm tone. The balance sits comfortably on either a feminine or a masculine skin.

7.4

Shalini · 2020

Fresh · Floral · Green

Orris butter pulls the scent towards a creamy, powdery softness, and frankincense leaves a smoky trace in the background. The sweetness stays light, and a leathery touch can be felt among the flowers.
