Gina Lollobrigida's known favorite perfume: Shalimar by Guerlain
Why we love Guerlain Shalimar perfume
For generations, women have loved all-time best selling classic, Shalimar. The brand tells the romantic story as “Inspired by the passionate love story between an emperor and an Indian princess. Shalimar, which means “temple of love” in Sanskrit, symbolises the promise of eternal love forevermore. It is a fragrance of desire.”
Top notes are bergamot, lemon, cedar and mandarin orange. Middle notes include iris, patchouli, vetiver, rose and jasmine. The base notes are rounded out with leather, sandalwood, civet, musk, and vanilla.
“With its smouldering and slightly impertinent character, the star oriental fragrance in perfumery embodies skin-caressing sensuality with a hint of the forbidden. “Wearing Shalimar means letting your senses take over,” Jacques Guerlain would say.
