The greatest oriental fragrance in history, presented as the ultimate luxury gift experience. This Guerlain Shalimar Gift Set brings together the iconic Shalimar Eau de Toilette alongside a curated collection of sumptuous Shalimar-scented body indulgences — perfumed body cream, perfumed body powder with brush, and additional fragrance — in a presentation worthy of the legend it celebrates. Whether given as a gift or acquired as a personal indulgence, this is the definitive Shalimar experience: layered, luxurious, and completely unforgettable.
Shalimar is not merely a fragrance. It is the original oriental — the benchmark against which an entire category of perfumery has been measured for a century. Created in 1925 by master perfumer Jacques Guerlain and inspired by the legendary love story between Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan and his beloved Mumtaz Mahal, in whose honor he built the Taj Mahal, Shalimar takes its name from the Gardens of Shalimar in Lahore, Pakistan — paradise gardens of jasmine, roses, and fountains built as a testament to eternal devotion. The fragrance poured into this bottle carries every ounce of that extraordinary history.
Shalimar opens with a luminous, sparkling burst of bergamot, lemon, and citrus — brightened by iris and the signature Guerlinade accord — fresh, powdery, and immediately distinctive. The heart blossoms into a rich, enveloping bouquet of iris, jasmine, and rose — sensual, opulent, and unmistakably Guerlain. The fragrance then settles into its legendary base: an extraordinary overdose of vanilla — the defining soul of Shalimar — joined by tonka bean, sandalwood, leather, balsamic notes, and musk — warm, resinous, smoky, and deeply sensual, with the kind of longevity and sillage that has made it one of the world's best-selling fragrances for over a century.

The layering ritual offered by this gift set elevates the Shalimar experience entirely. Applying the perfumed body cream first seals moisture into the skin and creates a warm, fragrant base that amplifies the EDT's longevity dramatically. The perfumed body powder with brush — one of the most classically elegant fragrance accessories in all of luxury beauty — adds a soft, velvety, powdered dimension to the skin that brings out Shalimar's legendary iris-vanilla dry-down with unparalleled intimacy. Together, the products create a multi-sensory Shalimar experience that lingers on the skin, the clothes, and in the memory for hours.
