Shalimar Ode La Vanille Sur la Route de Madagascar by Guerlain: launched in 2012.
Created by Thierry Wasser, who traveled to the plantations on the Vanilla Coast of Madagascar to obtain the precious Sambava vanilla.
To ensure the high quality and enhance the exquisite scent profile, the local artisans must treat the varietal vanilla for 18 months. The vanilla was further processed in France, where the delicate orchid was prepared by technology and infused for a month's time in order to capture all of the essences that makes this varietal vanilla so prized above others. The final tincture has been retained solely for the usage by Guerlain.
So what does it smell like? It is classified as an oriental woody fragrance for women.
The fragrance is housed inside of the updated Chauve Souris bottle, designed by Jade Jagger.
