The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2015, Shalimar Souffle de Parfum 2015 by Guerlain is a rich Oriental Floral fragrance crafted by perfumer Thierry Wasser. The composition opens with bright citrus notes of mandarin orange and lemon, which then give way to the creamy sweetness of jasmine sambac and orange blossom. At its heart lies an intricate blend of Tahitian vanilla and Indian vanilla, enveloped in a musky, powdery base that adds depth and warmth. This fragrance embodies Guerlain's tradition of using luxurious materials, reflecting the brand’s 175-year legacy of excellence.
Apply two sprays for optimal longevity — the bright citrus notes fade within an hour, but the warm vanilla and musky base linger for hours. This fragrance reads better close to skin rather than across a room.
