Fragrance Description: GUERLAIN Shalimar EDP, is a darker, "wilder" version of the modern classic. It's famous for being much smokier and more animalic. It opens with a sharp, citrus, followed by a heart of dark leather and burning incense into a thick, "burnt" vanilla mixed with a heavy dose of civet. Type: Oriental Spicy Original Release/Year: 1990 This bottles Batch Code/year: Mh2gp = 1990 batch Season: fall,winter Occasion: morning or evening Longevity: Ten hours Projection: Beast Gender: Feminine marketed but I would also consider it unisex Scent Era: Classic Identifying the vintage: I would look for boxes with short ingredient lists.
