Korrigan vs Shalimar Eau de Parfum

Korrigan is a polarizing fragrance within the community. Experienced collectors praise it as a reliable everyday niche fragrance that garners compliments, while some find it derivative and overly reliant on common sweet accords like tonka and ethyl maltol. It appeals most to those who already appreciate Lubin's house style and warm vanilla-based compositions.

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.
