I don't know the strength but it is called Emeraude de Coty. The Shalimar is a later eau de toilette. It comes in the bottle with vertical lines and black shoulders.
I may be superstitious but I prefer Shalimar that comes in this bottle was it the French version? The larger bottle of Emeraude is a US - s drug store version. Emeraude is extremely clean and pleasing at it's opening- lime, the ripe sweet fruit joined by the linden blossoms, with tiny hints of bell pepper and marmalade. Inside of this lemon-lime soda smelling scent is tucked a clean almost soapy theme that gives the composition a more adult quality.
The coolness creates a mist like sugar water mixed with absinthe. If Emeraude is the scent of a woman fresh from the shower, then Shalimar reveals that same woman later in the evening Shalimar is indeed somewhat shocking compared to the quietude that is Emeraude. In Shalimar everything has been amped up. The opening citrus blast is enough to peel lacquer! It's so potent that at first you suspect highly narcotic white flowers wait to ambush you but it all dissipates quickly to reveal a smoldering oriental rather than a killer flower bomb.
Shalimar carries scent echos of the nightclubs of the roaring 20s Helpful Review 3. The initial spray is extremely resinous, almost like a very old brandy mixed in with an antique mahogany furniture aroma and an old violin case: quite fascinating, but it makes me sneeze! I can discern the fruit and flowers, and the heavy touch of opoponax as with the great Shalimar , plus the kindly, welcome vanilla in the dry-down. I consider this a rather heavy-duty, serious scent for the ladies, for evening and night wear during the cooler months.
It is a deeply seductive perfume which should send men's temperatures soaring. On me, a man, it does not smell right at all, and that is undoubtedly the way it should be.
Helpful Review 6. I can wear this fragrance, but not Shalimar. Emeraude has more amber, much less vanilla and more woods than Shalimar using Perfume Intelligence's notes. For me that would do it. All else being equal, amber and woods win for me. Emeraude isn't as strong as I like my scents to be, but on the rare occasions I wear it, I enjoy it. Just dabbed Shalimar on the back of my hand to compare. Opoponax jumps out instead of vanilla this time.
Perhaps the day will come when I like it. For now, Emeraude reigns. Helpful Review 4. To me this seems like a more powdery, "safer" version of Shalimar, certainly not as loud and definately more settled than its rebellious counterpart. I find it quite powdery, mature, pleasant enough and quite inoffensive.
This is a review for the vintage version only, which has gold, yellow-like liquid. Top Review 5. This is fun to have if you can find a sufficiently old bottle for very little money. I have a bottle from the 60s and another one from the 70s. Both are very good, but you can tell that the fragrance became less fierce between those two time frames. If you're unsure of the approximate age of your bottle, google images for Emeraude and find magazine print ads that have a picture of the bottle.
Once you find a print ad with the bottle, you can find magazine with the year published. Basically, old Emeraude is a Shalimar-like fragrance. In fact, for my 60s bottle, I actually like Emeraude more than Shalimar because I find it lighter and easier to wear. Yet both fragrances pack a punch and can come off a bit dated and dusty.

This perfume makes me think of the smoky, languorous hammams, filled with burning ambergris, patchouli and myrrh incense smoldering on gilded brass braziers.
Behind a carved rosewood screen, one can peer thru the perforations and see that a young, ebony skinned slave girl is liberally sprinkling orange flower water over partially nude voluptuous bodies of the cinnamon hued harem concubines, who are being deeply massaged with expensive and exotic oils made up of civet, musk and sandalwood.
A Circassian beauty with frizzed out hair, lying languidly next to a pool of jasmine and ylang ylang perfumed water, deftly brings a sweet vanilla and lemon pastry to her succulent mouth and then licks off the honey and rose water dripping from her fingers.
