Posted by Robin on 8 May 2026 11 Comments

From Guerlain, Shalimar Supreme Body Cream: "The body cream is enriched with moisturizing and smoothing orchid extracts and active ingredients that leaves the skin nourished and delicately perfumed with Shalimar's sensual fragrance...A flight of flowers and bergamot whips up the top notes with a breeze of freshness. The heart is warmed by enveloping and delicately powdery notes of iris, jasmine and rose.
