Guerlain Shalimar Eau de Parfum

Guerlain Shalimar Eau de Parfum was supposed to be a casual daily bottle for me. The scent does not smell like a flat copy; it has a beginning, middle and finish. For a blind buy, this was a very good surprise.

I kept Guerlain Shalimar Eau de Parfum in my work bag for a few days and used it like a normal person would. I like that it feels clean rather than sugary or heavy. The bottle looks presentable enough for a simple gift. I would rather spend this amount here than overuse my designer bottle.

The fragrance itself was fine, but the courier crushed the outer box and one cap arrived cracked. The seller arranged a replacement quickly, so the low score is for delivery. I also checked it before going out during wear 9, and the dry-down stayed tidy.

The parcel was delayed for several days and tracking barely moved. The seller replied patiently and added a sample later. The scent was okay; logistics lowered the score. I also checked it before going out during wear 5, and it did not become sharp.

After a full workday, I could still smell a soft trace on my collar. It never became sour or dusty, which matters a lot to me.
