(Another) daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 21 April 2020 25 Comments

Aha, the latest collector bottle of Guerlain Shalimar, with a design intended as a decorative tribute to the gardens of Shalimar. Sure, I'll take one. €99 for 50 ml Eau de Parfum.

      Maybe wait a few weeks? It’s on the French Guerlain website at the moment, and possibly elsewhere but I think its official launch is in May.

        Ah, thanks that’s why I don’t see it anywhere.
        Here’s an enabler pin to you.

    Well I kept hoping to see the Souffle d’Oranger bottles shake down into the discount sites and it didn’t happen. I might have to just save up for this one. Never enough Shalimar IMHO.

      I haven’t seen D’oranger even at regular sites.

    Why does Guerlain have to do this to me, again? Lol. Bottle porn pros.

    Never have converted to Shalimarism, but this pretty bottle galvanized me to put on a spritz of Shalimar and then 5 spritzes of Orange Sanguine. Hmm, going to let it settle down. Too much time on my hands? Not at all…

        Which means you don’t love it either … maybe a creamsicle orange … I’m pretty sure I have one somewhere.

    I like Shalimar and the bottle is pretty. I would rather Guerlain re-release the Ode a la Vanilles.

      I think lots of us feel that way.

        I don’t know why they were discontinued. I have 2 bottles of the Mexican one but I liked the Madagascar one a little bit better.

      It really is. And I don’t even – gasp – like Shalimar.

    I much prefer the classic bottle shape, but I do like this painted decoration. It might be worth finding someone who is good at painting glass and commissioning one. ?

      Years back, my local Macy’s had an artist painting in wineglass for Mother’s’ Day!

        There seems to be a lot of it on Etsy, and Google shows craft stores in my area with supplies or facilities. Now is not the best time but it should be very feasible.

    The bottle is gorgeous. But here is a serious question: if we keep our perfumes away from light and heat, what do we do with those in particularly beautiful bottles? If I had this one I would want to display it. Decant the juice into a plain bottle to be kept in the dark, and leave the pretty empty one out to admire?
