"Another wonderful advantage of this love affair with perfume is you don't have to be faithful to just one, even if you adore each other to death. In perfume, you can cheat very discreetly over and over again, by taking up with another lover, or two, three, four, ten -- a whole string of beloveds if you like!" - John Oakes

Shalimar, by the way, was created by adding a container of the synthetic vanilla fragrance, vanillin, to a container of Jicky, "to see what would happen". I always find that rather amusing for some reason.
