Here it is; it is not a 4 hour movie with choreography by Portia Turbo. It’s a mini-movie!
The Guerlain movie The Legend of Shalimar, directed by Bruni Aveillan and starring Natalia Vodianova and Willy Cartier is on a screen right in front of you.

Too short! I was on the elephant.
Naah, I think the length good. I wish they’d used an Indian woman though.

Absolutely gorgeous.
I have shared it on my FB page AND on Aphrodesia’s FB page (both with a link to The Fragrant Man).
Thank you John. 5 minutes of escapism here! I read Papyrus last week and throughly enjoyed escaping with your new book.
I love this video a lot.
I love their reincarnation and repositioning of Shalimar to the place it truly belongs. It was avoided for many years.
Yours,
J.
I do too Juraj – pure fantasy, although many people have criticized it for being exactly that. There is more information over at Grain de Musc.
