Shalimar
The founding oriental: bergamot, iris and an ambered vanilla that never seems to fade. A monument of French perfumery.
Donna Born in Roma Intense
Vanilla, bergamot and blackcurrant open onto a jasmine closed by benzoin. A denser, more resinous reading of the line, where vanilla sits up top rather than in the base.
