The Story
Shalimar Millésime Vanilla Planifolia is a limited edition that elevates the classic Shalimar with a focus on the finest vanilla. Thierry Wasser sourced vanilla planifolia from Madagascar, creating a richer, more gourmand interpretation. The fragrance opens with bright bergamot and lemon, then blooms with jasmine and rose before settling into a deep, creamy vanilla and benzoin base. It is a tribute to the vanilla bean itself, warm and indulgent.
