1270 vs Shalimar Eau de Parfum

The community appreciates 1270's distinctive warm, sweet character and finds it genuinely appealing, but consensus criticism centers on its disappointing longevity that doesn't justify its premium price. While some consider it a personal favorite worth the effort, many have given up on it due to the need for constant respraying throughout the day.

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.
