Shalimar Souffle de Lumière

by Thierry Wasser

Guerlain Shalimar Souffle de Lumière is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Thierry Wasser. Shalimar Souffle de Lumière opens with Bergamot, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Vanilla, Musk, and Benzoin. Guerlain's Shalimar Souffle de Lumière carries a Favourite verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

This flanker either dazzles with its bright, creamy citrus and florals or disappoints with a perceived lack of depth and longevity compared to its Shalimar kin. It's a Guerlain for those who find the original too heavy, offering a lighter, sunnier take on the classic DNA.

About

Shalimar Souffle de Lumière bursts forth with a vibrant, zesty bergamot, almost candied, before settling into a luminous heart of white jasmine and creamy ylang-ylang. The base offers a soft landing with fluffy vanilla, a hint of warm benzoin, and a clean, gentle musk. It's an effortlessly elegant scent - bright, floral, and subtly sweet.
