Le Baiser Du Dragon לעומת Shalimar Parfum Initial

Le Baiser du Dragon is a divisive fragrance that inspires loyalty in those who appreciate its complex, boozy almond character, but struggles with its challenging opening. The scent evolves significantly over time and performs best in cooler temperatures, making it situational rather than versatile.

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.
