Vanillary לעומת Shalimar Eau de Parfum

Vanillary is a highly polarizing Lush fragrance with devoted fans who find it a comforting, long-lasting vanilla scent, but equally vocal detractors who experience off-putting urine, yeast, or beer-like notes due to skin chemistry variations. The fragrance's performance appears inconsistent, with some attributing this to formula changes between the solid and current tin versions, making it a true "try before you buy" product.

Shalimar is celebrated by the r/fragrance community as a landmark fragrance that deserves recognition despite its age, praised for its sensual character and impressive performance. The community appreciates it as a historic female-marketed perfume that breaks the mold of contemporary fragrances, with strong longevity and a beautiful evolution throughout wear.
