ODE OF GUERLAIN
Shalimar Parfum, 1925
Guerlain's most successful and enduring fragrance was created by Jacques Guerlain at a time when fascination with the orient was sweeping Europe. Inspired by the love of an Indian Emperor for his magnificent wife, Mumtaz-Mahal - for whom the Taj Mahal was built - Shalimar is named after "The Gardens of Shalimar," where their love grew. A deliciously fresh flight becomes hazy and sensual when the vanilla and powdery notes of its sweet, sensual base are discovered.

FAVORITE THINGS
"The fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking over
harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on."
Carl Sandburg
January 6, 1878 – July 22, 1967
