My Mom wore Shalimar. When I Magnin was shutting down in the mid-90s I went in and bought her a bottle and had it wrapped in the pretty Magnin’s wrapping and bag. She was dx’d with cancer a couple of years later. Shalimar has a bittersweet place in my nose and heart.
The bubblegum aspect comes from the large quantity of benzyl acetate which is naturally found in jasmine but also available as part of the synthetic palette. It is used prominently in bubblegum flavorings, hence the association but it is definitely the fruity part of jasmine. But this fragrance is very indolic and indole is not 'pissy' so I imagine something you think isn't indole, is in fact indole but you might see it as just jasmine.
Are you a chemist? Your analysis is fascinating. I have a love/hate relationship with jasmine notes. I loathe Alien, and I love Jasmin at Cigarette. Why?
@@dimad645 there are only so many ways to do a jasmine, so between those two fragrances your preference lies in the rest of the context of the formulation. Alien has a huge woody accord and lots of Cashmeran, and is freshened up by Habanolide, salicylates, lily of the valley odorants. Jasmin et Cigarette is more indolic, with a spicy, vanillic creamy fond. I suspect it's this difference. Alien is certainly the better built fragrance though and much more distinct.
Adore this first impression…your love for the opening of the scent mirrors my own. Please feel free to do a review on the samples and doing an in-depth review of this jasmine iteration of Shalimar - honestly… your have the BEST perfume reviews of all, and I especially love your Guerlain reviews because you express how I feel about their perfumes too. At any rate, this was wonderful! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👏🥰
😅 your face said it ALL!!! .... I LOVE 💙🧡🧡💙 this one!!! It took me a good year to love Iris, I think it needed to mature, but this Millesime Jasmin was LOVE at first sight and scent. The colour of the liquid almost stopped my heart when I opened the box. Hope you are safe Dacob. I'm from LA, but moved to Toronto a decade ago. My family is ok for now. I'll keep you all in my prayers. Take care 🙏
Thank you Dacob🧡 I was a bit worried as Jasmine is not normally kind to me but this is Lovely , absolutely love it.Am actually enjoying the Millesime range 😍♥️❤️🧡🙋🏻♀️🇦🇺
Thank you for reviewing this. I put it on today because of this and posted a review of all the millesimes on my channel. This is quickly becoming my favourite.
Can smell more Shalimar in here than in Millesime Iris. It starts out soapy and I'm not really getting jasmine. Sometimes it takes time for the scent to mature. The Iris aged beautifully so I'm sure this Jasmin will get better. Will try it again in warmer weather.
I also have an unopened bottle of this perfume. I was lucky to get one. My local Guerlain perfume boutique had sold out by the time I dropped in. Luckily, they were able to order a bottle from another boutique from across the country. Thanks for the review.
Hello Dacob. Just like you I’m in heaven with Shalimar Millesime Jasmin. I went to visit my mum for Christmas in France and, while waiting for my train at one of the Paris train stations, I went to a Sephora branch in the station to browse on perfumes. And there it was on the shelf waiting for me. I sprayed once on my hand and the cold of the air mixed with the warmth of the jasmine and the Guerlinade took me to another Shalimar dimension: subtle, classy smooth and comforting. I bought 3 bottles for very special occasions as so afraid to run out (and will probably buy more). This is heaven in a bottle.
Finally !!! I remember you Iris review so was really looking forward to the Jasmin. Has it been easy to find where you live? Personally it’s one of those perfumes I don’t love at the first sniff and keep coming back to. It is a little animalic to me but surprisingly everyone complements me about it!
Hi Dacob, first of all I really hope you're safe and healthy ❤️🙏 sending you all my love and support in these crazy days...😢 I personally pre ordered this one even before it came out, and, it turned out to be the very best blind buy in my entire life!!! A real beauty... Love you 💛🤍💛🤍💛🤍💛🤍
Shalimar edc has always been my favorite formulation too. 🙂 Jasmine as a perfume ingredient will darken, so much so that you’ll think the perfume has turned, but it hasn’t. I learned that with Diorissimo years ago.
I want to buy it, but i feel it’s so risky to maybe fall in love with a fragrance that I’ll never be able to get my hands on again 😔 Have you ever tried Jardins de Bagatelle from Guerlain? Got my hands on a decant of the EdT, and I think I’m falling in love. I’m on a «Guerlain les legendaires» journey
Of course I see that Guerlinade euphoria while trapped in the house during an ice storm. Maybe Atlanta city govt. will understand the emergency and send an ice truck escort to Neiman's. Mon Dieu Dacob, that speechless first sniff was a Bat-Signal to Guerlinaders.
Yeah, I love the first whiff of a new Guerlain, especially if it’s a new Shalimar. Just love the depth of it to bits and love to just let myself fall into it 🥰🥰🥰
Honestly was underwhelmed with this one, I’ll hold on to it and then sell it. Maybe I’ll revisit it though. The iris one is the best and should really stay as a regular flanker ! Edit- sprayed it again since it came out, I’ve learned a lot from you Dacob, sometimes fragrances need that oxygen to sort of develop fully, what I thought was jasmine hairspray last year is now opulent Shalimar dna with beautiful jasmine added. Maybe I’ll keep this one lol
Hi Dacob. Isn’t it incredible what AI can create. I recently asked for and recieved an incredible mythical picture of an angel as though painted by one of the great renaissance masters.❤
Yes please review the samples! love your guerlain content

Of course I meant ELDO Jasmin et Cigarette, I got autocorrected.

Thank you for all Guerlain content Dacob❤ I adore your reviews ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the video, glad you liked it! I’d be curious to hear your thoughts on Neroli Plein Sud!
Thank you Alessandro 💖
The Shalimar Millisime Jasmin is my favorite Millisime so far. It’s gorgeous
My grandma passed and this was her scent now I wear it. Comes off powdery. Very nice
I’ve been waiting for your review of this! ❤ I really like my bottle of this!
I'm sooooo pleased you instantly loved it... I have all 4 of these Millésimes so far and the Jasmin (surprisingly!) is BY FAR my favorite one...!!!!
😅 your face said it ALL!!! .... I LOVE 💙🧡🧡💙 this one!!! It took me a good year to love Iris, I think it needed to mature, but this Millesime Jasmin was LOVE at first sight and scent. The colour of the liquid almost stopped my heart when I opened the box.

This video is inspiring me to plant potted Jasmine this year. 💖

I really need to buy this

I just got mine. Omg I love it! Reminds me of Arpege by Lanvin.
It really is lovely and a contender for my favourite of the flankers.
Dear Dacob, can you make a video of Nina Ricci L'air du Temps? I would like to know your opinion about it. Thank you so much 💛
I like nina ricci l’air du temps.
I Iove Neroli Outrenoir. Please review it. I have Millesime Jasmin, but I’m still getting used to it.
How do rank the Millesimes so far?
Of course I see that Guerlinade euphoria while trapped in the house during an ice storm. Maybe Atlanta city govt. will understand the emergency and send an ice truck escort to Neiman's. Mon Dieu Dacob, that speechless first sniff was a Bat-Signal to Guerlinaders.

Truly would love to get the Iris version but I have never been able to find it - any assistance would be appreciated!
Try to find a decant maybe, eBay, Mercari etc. the full bottles are already going for 200-350$ 🤦🏻♂️
This one improves after a few weeks
Honestly was underwhelmed with this one, I’ll hold on to it and then sell it. Maybe I’ll revisit it though. The iris one is the best and should really stay as a regular flanker !

New sub 🎉 love Fragrances,my Weakness 😊
The pure parfum or the cologne … works best at its extremes for me
It smells a bit soapy rather than bubble gummy to me which I love
Must smell before you buy😮
I want a beard so sad i cant grow beard
🗣️🗣️🗣️JAAAAZZZZZZZMEEEEN (my pronunciation. lol )
10.22: a Molly Bloom moment?🥰

That sounds beautiful 🥹💖💖
