| Blends of floral and citrus-based fragrances are recommended for casual and daywear. Spicy, woody or warm amber-based fragrances are traditionally favorites for evening and special occasions. |

| I will always have this love hate thing going on with Shalimar. I love it because it is the classic of all classics IMO and the beauty of the bottle, etc....I just can not wear it well because of the powdery dry down on my skin. I have been told it smells great on me though (by my mom and daughter so I am not sure that counts?!? LOL but I don't think they would be biased, since my mother does not care for Shalimar. She is an Opiumette all the way). Anyway, it is very pricey so if you are looking for a wonderful alternative (read: drug store) buy I would highly suggest Tojours Moi. It too, is an older scent (released 1921 by Dana) that I find very similar to Shalimar. It has sandalwood and vetiver, with a floral touch and musky undertones. I purchased some at Walmart off the shelf for only 12.00 last weekend. It has a ton of staying power and is not quite so powdery, although Shalimar shall remain unprecidented in legend along with Coco and Opium.
