Imagine smelling this and also looking up at the Eiffel Tower in 1889. It doesn't smell all that out of place today! This fragrance takes you on a journey. As the prototype Shalimar, you'll smell that familiar bergamot opening mixed with a more herbal accord (lavender). It's like Shalimar, but without the intense vanilla and tonka swoon. A drier, greener take and better for the Spring than Shalimar. It does give a hint of 'halitosis' here and there, but that's only if you smell up close on skin. From a distance, just lovely. Now discontinued.
