Shalimar Parfum Initial was a beloved fragrance that has been discontinued, leaving collectors disappointed and unable to repurchase. While the reformulated successor L'Initial is quite close, community members note it lacks the distinctive powdery quality of the original, making it a solid but imperfect alternative for those who cherish the discontinued version.
