Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its lighter nature and moderate sillage make it suitable for office wear without being intrusive. The sweet, powdery dry down is romantic for dates, and its overall pleasant character fits casual outings. While not overtly formal it can be dressed up, but it's far too elegant for physical activity.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Shalimar Souffle de Parfum opens with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot, lemon, and mandarin, a true citrus soufflé. This leads to a heart of rich, creamy jasmine and delicate orange blossom. The dry down is a comforting embrace of soft musk and a sweet, powdery vanilla, evoking a sense of dreamy tranquility. It's a citrus-infused vanilla that balances freshness with a classic, velvety base.
