Shalimar: the history of the first amber fragrance

In 1903, Colgate & Company introduced Coronel — a fragrance that's hard to forget. A unisex fragrance belonging to the amber family.
Made in the United States. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The scent of Coronel is built as an expressive line of development, where notes flow with precision and warmth. The style of Colgate & Company comes through in the way notes appear and fade. No excess details, only what works, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail.
From the group perspective the structure relies on Ambery. At family level the scent maps to Amber.
When the structure is mixed the fragrance opens as a single chord with a resinous-sweet mood: Ambergris. Here 1 note works as one integrated frame, creating amber depth that reads as cohesive from the start.
The heart and base are read as a continuous motion from lift to depth, which preserves the scent identity through drydown.
The accord profile is driven by these accords: Amber with each one in a clear role. The stylistic positioning is unisex, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
In summary Coronel holds a coherent structure — the start forms character, the heart develops the core line, and the base secures the trail. This is the type of composition best understood on skin.
