Shalimar Souffle de Parfum

Which Should You Buy?
If you usually swerve anything "Flower by Kenzo", this one's for you. Morillas strips back the polarizing powderiness, delivering a fresh, citrus-green take on the original, though it does split opinion.
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.
