Today's giveaway is a true classic in the perfumery world: Guerlain's Shalimar, this time graciously donated by [livejournal.com profile] laleonaenojada. As before, it's a 1 ml sample from The Perfumed Court, tested but mostly full.

Their description: First introduced in 1925 by Jacques Guerlain, Shalimar means Temple of Love in Sanskrit. Shalimar is an Oriental fragrance with top notes of lemon and bergamot; middle notes of jasmine and May rose; and base notes of iris, incense, opoponax, tonka bean and vanilla. This is the Eau de Parfum.

The Guerlain perfume house goes back to 1828, when the family made custom fragrances for high Parisian society, and Shalimar is considered Guerlain's flagship fragrance.

Enter to win this sample by leaving a comment here. I'll select the winner at random in one week. If you're not an LJ user, leave an email address where I can notify you if you've won. LJ users ought to be able to find out via the usual comment notification. Good luck!
