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 Musk, Vanilla, 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.
