Four centuries ago in Northern India, Shah Jahan fell madly in love with Mumtaz Mahal, for whom he built the Taj Mahal. Dazzled by her beauty and inspired by their love, he wanted to make her life an everlasting garden of delight, and so sprang from the grounds the Gardens of Shalimar. The story of their love is immersed in this fragrance, with top notes of fresh flowers and bergamot, middle notes of iris and opoponax and a base note of vanilla. Although oriental in its type, the floral notes create a warm and sensual scent of elegance and sophistication.
