Reports disagree about the extent or effects of changes to Shalimar Eau de Parfum.

Recent owners often describe substantial wear, but comparisons with older versions differ. Guerlain US lists formula #22876, while a retailer publishes a different disclosure. These current web records do not establish the dates or sensory effects of historical changes.

A batch code alone does not tell you which formula is in a bottle.

To check a particular bottle, ask Guerlain or the retailer about its batch code. Owners' side-by-side comparisons are not confirmation from the house.

Shalimar Eau de Parfum is sold as Eau de Parfum (EDP), a label generally used for a higher fragrance concentration than eau de toilette.
