Ici vs Shalimar Eau de Parfum

Ici is remembered fondly by the community as an early gourmand fragrance with a sweet vanilla and floral profile that was ahead of its time. While the original is difficult to find, community members have identified several modern alternatives like Sabrina Carpenter's Sweet Tooth Caramel Dream and Mugler Angel as reasonable approximations of the original scent experience.

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.
