A MILLÉSIME THAT CELEBRATES SENSUALITY

As a declaration of love and a celebration of the incredible inspiration behind Shalimar’s legendary fragrance, Iris Millésime puts iris centre stage with a scent that follows in the fragrant footsteps of Shalimar’s previous Millésimes. Intimately seductive and sensual, with this new composition, Guerlain’s Maison Perfumers have created a fragrant caress. As soon as it touches the skin, iris brings hints of powder to the characteristically fresh bergamot usually found in Shalimar and Guerlinade. Set alongside rose and white musk, it reveals its jewel-like facets and characteristic olfactory complexity to display floral, velvety notes that feel dreamily sensual on the body.

IRIS

For Shalimar Millésime Iris, Guerlain’s perfumers have selected the noblest and rarest of all iris varietals, the Pallida iris, which, when made into what is known as “iris butter” creates addictively silky and creamy facets that accentuate Shalimar’s seductiveness. Key to iris butter’s precious nature is the intricate process through which it is made: a highly specialised technique that demands rare expertise and perhaps the most luxurious ingredient of all: time. Showcased here in the heart of this limited edition Millésime, the precious iris takes Shalimar’s legendary seductiveness to all-new heights, and infuses it with unprecedented sensuality.

VANILLA

Guerlain’s iconic vanilla vibrates with carnal sensuality throughout this exceptional Millésime. All thanks to vanilla beans of the highest quality, harvested in Madagascar, then combined with iris within this masterful Millésime to create an intimate pas de deux and a sensually seductive caress.

Perfumers Secret

"Shalimar is the fragrance of sensuality. This Millésime, composed around iris, reveals such sensuality on the skin that it reminds me of silk’s softness."

Delphine Jelk,
Guerlain Perfumer

AN ICONIC BOTTLE

For its bottle, Shalimar Millésime Iris pays tribute to the original Shalimar bottle designed for Jacques Guerlain by his nephew Raymond Guerlain in 1925. Guerlain's legendary heritage bottle, its Art Deco lines evoke basins in the Shalimar gardens. As for the famous “bat” label, Shalimar Millésime Iris features Shalimar’s emblematic blackish-blue shade which reminds the bottle’s iconic cap, as well as the colour of the Pallida iris petals showcased within the limited edition itself.
