About The Formula

Introduction

Inspired by a masterclass on the deconstruction of Guerlain's Shalimar, this formula seeks to recreate its legendary scent.

Notes

The formula features a high concentration of bergamot (26%), providing a bright and citrusy opening. This is contrasted with the warm and sweet notes of vanilla, balsamic, coumarin, and amber, creating a rich and complex base. The core of Shalimar is built upon a foundation of aromatic, floral, woody, and slightly animalic notes.

Bases

This formula utilizes four key bases to capture the essence of Shalimar: sandalwood, iris, jasmine, and petitgrain. Each base contributes to the overall complexity and depth of the scent.

Masterclasses

For a deeper understanding of the Shalimar scent, Pierre Bénard offers two masterclasses titled "In the Wake of Shalimar,...follow the white rabbit." Each session focuses on two of the bases and costs €110. You can learn more by contacting @osmoart or emailing osmoart@gmail.com.

Acknowledgements

This formula is a testament to the expertise and passion of Pierre Bénard. His dedication to sharing his knowledge is greatly appreciated.

Summary

This formula reconstructs the iconic scent of Shalimar, capturing its distinctive citrusy and vanilla notes, balanced with floral and woody accords. The formula is built around four key bases: sandalwood, iris, jasmine, and petitgrain.
