L’Essence is a special interpretation of the iconic Guerlain fragrance Shalimar, released in 2025 to mark the 100th anniversary of the original

According to Guerlain’s site, the composition emphasises vanilla in multiple forms (Madagascar vanilla tincture + ethylvanillin) along with subtle bergamot, iris, rose and musks.

Top Notes

Bergamot (light citrus lift) – described as “discreet and subtle” by Guerlain.

Madagascar vanilla tincture (though this plays more as the core than purely top)

Heart / Middle Notes

Rose absolute – adds a refined floral elegance. 

Iris (powdery elegance) – described in reviews as giving that “powdery elegance of iris” in the heart

Base / Dry-down

Vanilla (in abundance) – both natural vanilla tincture + ethylvanillin, giving warmth, sweetness, gourmand depth. 

Musks – smooth, skin-like trail to finish. 

Amber / Woody / hint of leather – reviews mention a soft woody/amber base with a touch of leathery nuance.

Summary of “feel”

Overall, this is a vanilla-centric reinterpretation of Shalimar: the citrus/bergamot top is present but restrained; the floral heart is elegant but not overpowering; the vanilla and musks dominate the dry-down, with an amber-woody, slightly leathery backdrop. Many reviewers describe it as “smooth, wearable, modern.

Oriental Vanilla

Top notes of bergamot, almond, and incense. The heart notes are a blend of opoponax (or opopanax), rose, and iris, while the base is a rich mix of benzoin, vanilla, tonka bean, and musk

Apply fragrance to clean skin after showering, targeting pulse points such as wrists and behind the neck for optimal scent diffusion. Use a non-scented moisturizer first to prolong fragrance life. Avoid direct application on clothes and sensitive skin to prevent irritation and preserve the integrity of the scent.
