Shalimar Souffle de Parfum
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
A bright, sunny citrus and white floral that splits the crowd. Some find it a delicious, long-lasting summer dream, others a synthetic, sugary lemon that's a bit too juvenile. It's not a safe blind buy, but if you love juicy citrus with a creamy floral dry-down, it might just be your bottled sunshine.
This isn't your mum's Shalimar; it's a modern, airy take that delights many with its lemon-vanilla souffle, even if some purists sniff at its lack of traditional 'Shalimar DNA.' Love it or find it fleeting and 'just okay,' it's a divisive but popular flanker.
