The myth of Shalimar inspires a new exceptional accord, the Millesime Tonka Eau de Parfum, composed as a loving tribute to the tonka bean. Deliciously addictive, it sublimates the soul of Shalimar to reveal its most voluptuous facets with amber accents, enveloping it in a subtly irresistible roundness. Magnified by the expertise of the House perfumers, the tonka bean raises this vintage to the rank of the great perfumery vintages.

"The tonka bean is a wonder of nature. This delectable little bean smells of powdery almond, caramel, and chocolate - a true delight. In Shalimar, it is as much a sign of the perfume as vanilla. For me, magnifying it was an obvious choice" says Delphine Jelk, Guerlain perfumer

Like the perfume it conceals, the bottle of Shalimar Millesime Tonka pays homage to the original. A technical feat and a jewel of art, the bottle's arabesques evoke the basins of Shalimar's gardens. Its fan-shaped cap is reminiscent of its eternal water jets.
