Joan Collins favorite Beauty Products and Vintage Beauty Secrets

Hello lovelies

Today I will be discussing some of Joan Collins favorite beauty products and some of her favorite beauty secrets that I picked up in her vintage beauty book Joan’s Way: Looking Good, Feeling Great.

Perfume:

Joan Collins is known for wearing the perfume: Guerlain Shalimar, Guerlain Jicky perfume.

Guerlain Shalimar

Shalimar is the first oriental perfume in history.

L’Eau de Parfum Shalimar is a mythic fragrance with bergamot, iris and vanilla notes; an intense wake with a touch of impertinence, always glowing, embodies skin-caressing sensuality with a hint of the forbidden.

Inspired by the passionate love story between an emperor and an Indian princess, Shalimar, which means “temple of love” in Sanskrit, symbolizes the promise of eternal love always. It is a fragrance of desire.

In 1925, the Shalimar bottle designed by Raymond Guerlain won first prize at the Paris Decorative Arts Exhibition. Its curves were inspired by the basins of the famous Shalimar gardens. The fan stopper with its sapphire transparency recalls the garden’s eternally gushing water.
