Guerlain

At a glance

L'Initial Eau de Parfum, released in 2021 by Guerlain, is a modern take on the classic Shalimar lineage. It opens with bright bergamot and orange, then settles into a powdery iris‑rose heart, finishing on a warm vanilla‑caramel base accented by tonka bean, patchouli and musk. The fragrance blends a crisp, citrusy opening with a luxurious, powdery dry‑down that has earned it a place in Guerlain's Legendaires collection.
