The Story
Shalimar Millésime Tonka is a limited edition that celebrates the tonka bean, a key ingredient in the original Shalimar. Thierry Wasser amplifies the warm, almond-like sweetness of tonka, blending it with the classic citrus and vanilla notes. The result is a richer, more gourmand interpretation that feels both familiar and new. It's a cozy, elegant scent perfect for cooler weather.
