Guerlain Shalimar Light

Shalimar is a beautiful fragrance - I wear it and get compliments all the time. The Guerlain Shalimar Light formula has been changed once from when it came out about 5 years ago - it just doesn't live up to the name.

I have had more complements when wearing Guerlain Shalimar Light perfume than any other product I have worn, even original Shalimar.

Though I don't wear it, I've been a fan of Shalimar since I was a child. Shalimar Light is a more subtle version of the original--it maintains a nice smell, yet isn't as strong and overpowering as Shalimar can be.

It takes some time for the citrus to make itself known; the first scents I noticed were amber, sandalwood and tuberose. Eventually the vanilla and lemon/lime surface just a little, and it's a lovely combination.

I think Shalimar Light is a nice and unobtrusive fragrance that would be good for working in a classroom or a small office. It doesn't linger or last long, so it wouldn't bother anyone. However, I wouldn't recommend it as a date perfume...especially if you like bold, flirty, or seductive scents.
