I liked this much awaited flanker of the great Shalimar DNA, but it didn’t wow me. To my nose, it was a bit of a fresher take initially; not bright, but sharp like a cologne. It reminded me of Bijon Aura Sublime mixed with other Shalimars. Then the vanilla takes over and you get a nice, cozy, but not all that interesting vanilla wear.
