The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2017, Shalimar Souffle Intense by Guerlain is a masterpiece of Oriental Floral fragrances crafted by Thierry Wasser. The composition opens with the bright zest of bergamot and lemon before transitioning into the lush, creamy notes of orange blossom and jasmine. At its core lies a rich blend of Indian and Tahitian vanilla, benzoin, and white musk, creating an enveloping warmth that is both comforting and sophisticated.
Apply two sprays to pulse points; the initial brightness fades quickly into a deep, warm base that lingers throughout the day. Ideal for cooler evenings when the powdery and spicy notes enhance the overall warmth.
