The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2019 by Thierry Wasser, Shalimar Souffle d'Oranger is an Oriental Floral fragrance that captures the essence of a vibrant orange grove. The composition opens with mandarin orange and bergamot, creating a bright and zesty freshness that's both invigorating and uplifting. As it develops, neroli and jasmine sambac bring a soft floral touch, while vanilla adds warmth and sweetness. Sandalwood provides the base with its woody depth and earthy undertones.

How to wear it

For optimal wear, apply this fragrance to pulse points and allow it to develop naturally on your skin. The citrus notes are bright but fleeting, so reapply after two hours if you want to maintain that initial freshness throughout the day.
