Guerlain Shalimar Eau de Toilette for Women, 1.7 oz / 50 ml

This women's fragrance is Guerlain Shalimar Eau de Toilette for Women, 1.7 oz / 50 ml. An eau de toilette is lighter than the eau de parfum of the same scent, which makes it easier to wear in heat and worth topping up in the afternoon. A spray on clothing or in the hair lasts longer than one on skin, though it can shift the balance of the scent and mark delicate fabrics. A discounted listing is only a saving if it is the same size and edition as the one beside it. Heat and light are what spoil a fragrance, not age — stored properly, an unopened bottle keeps its character for a long time. Whoever is cheapest today may not be tomorrow, so it is worth looking again before settling on the best deal.
