The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 8 May 2026 14 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. To conclude, the presence of vanilla, rounded balmy notes and the gourmand warmth of tonka bean orchestrate a sensual symphony for the dry-down", $105 for 200 ml at Dillard's.

    Agree…this looks great! đŸ‘đŸ»

    “To conclude, the presence of vanilla…” the perfect ending to any story 😁

    I had this body cream a few years ago (the jar was deep blue) and it was fabulous! Lasted forever on the skin, it’s not something to slather on, it’s very rich. I used just a dab on my elbows and could smell it all day.

      Guerlain and Estee Lauder know how to do body creams 🙂

    A reasonable price honestly, given what cosmetics and such go for these days.

    Way way back in the day I had the Samsara body cream in a similar jar (only red). Fantastic stuff, intensely fragranced and very hydrating. $105 is a really good price for something like this — I was afraid they’d be peddling it for twice that, or more.

      Yes! I had that too! I’d love this product. I love Shalimar. Back in 1995 I had the cream in a turquoise tube and it was so rich and fabulous. I miss those products.

    84.49 currently on fragrancenet now. Can totally verify that this is lovely. I bought two jars from fragrancenet right before or during the pandemic and loved it. Rich in scent and in moisturizing capabilities. Sadly, I think I paid $50 for each jar and even then I thought it was over the top but worth it. Not affiliated but just in case you can’t resist, I’m happy to be your confessor. 🙃
