Shalimar: the history of the first amber fragrance

Firmenich and 96 — a combination worth experiencing. The nose behind this fragrance — Firmenich perfumer. In eau de toilette — and that's all it takes to fall in love.
Country of origin — Switzerland, and that already says something about the quality. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
A great perfume doesn't need lengthy explanations — it speaks for itself. The official website of Firmenich — http://deconstructingeden.com/.
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 fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The scent of 96 is shaped as an expressive line of development, where layers reveal themselves without rush and without gaps. The style of Firmenich is evident from the opening to the final trail. Every decision feels deliberate, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de toilette emphasizes a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
The gender direction is feminine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
Even with partial top-note data the fragrance still remains clear and composed, and the very first impression remains controlled and clear.
The inner phases are felt as a continuous motion from lift to depth, which keeps the fragrance coherent.
Its family/group profile is still recognizable through movement from opening to drydown.
In summary 96 reads as a cohesive composition — the start forms character, the central phase adds depth, and the base secures the trail. This is the type of composition best judged in wear.
