# Guerlain - Shalimar Eau de Parfum  What a spicy opening! It is as if I was thrown in the middle of an oriental market: a combination of smoky, sour and spicy notes tickling my nose. Fortunately, the fiery scent mellowed, and soon a voluptuous vanilla note blossoms amidst flowers. _With a picture: an idyllic floral park in the heart of a Persian market._
