This classic Fragrance was inspired by the celebration of love triumphant, that of Shah Jehan for the dazzlingly beautiful Princess Mumtaz Mahal. They lived out their passion in the shade of exuberant towering palm trees in the garden of Shalimar in India, serenaded by murmuring fountains that sprang from basins of finely chiseled marble. Touched by their beautiful love story, Jacques Guerlain created Shalimar, a scent to last through the ages.
