Shalimar Millésime Tonka vs Mon Guerlain

Shalimar Millésime Tonka is a discontinued limited edition that receives mixed feedback from the community. While some appreciate its creamy vanilla and tonka dry down as a pleasant fall fragrance, others feel it deviates too much from the original Shalimar's DNA with excessive fruitiness and florality. Availability is severely limited due to its limited edition status.

The r/fragrance community views Mon Guerlain positively overall, praising its comforting vanilla scent and broad appeal. However, some users experience disappointing longevity and projection, and it's often dismissed as an overly safe, mainstream fragrance rather than something distinctive. Many consider it a good blind buy at discounted prices.
