Product Name: Vintage 1960s Shalimar Eau De Cologne Guerlain 6.8oz Jumbo retail Perfume
Vintage 1960s Shalimar Eau De Cologne Guerlain 6.8oz Jumbo Rare collectible perfume and bottle. Empty bottle alone is highly collectible. This is an almost full bottle! I inherited this bottle from my grandmother, it was only ever owned by her, and then myself. It was kept in a cool and dark environment (confirmed this with my grandmother) to keep the original fragrance preserved. Shalimar is the first oriental perfume in history, characterized by bergamot, iris and vanilla notes. It leaves an unforgettable memory and embodies skin-caressing sensuality with a hint of the forbidden. Inspired by the passionate love story between an retail emperor and an Indian princess, Shalimar, which means "temple of love" in Sanskrit, symbolizes the promise of eternal love forevermore. It is a fragrance of desire. In 1925, the Shalimar bottle designed by Raymond Guerlain won first prize at the Paris Decorative Arts Exhibition. Its curves were inspired by the basins of the famous Shalimar gardens.
