Guerlain Shalimar Souffle de Parfum 2018 is a Parfum launched in 2018, created by Thierry Wasser. Shalimar Souffle de Parfum 2018 opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk and Vanilla. Guerlain's Shalimar Souffle de Parfum 2018 carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Divisive, naturally, because it's a flanker that ditches the original's personality for an airy, musky-vanilla take. But judge it on its own merits, and you'll find a beautiful, comforting scent that’s perfect for cosying up.

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.

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

Opens with a zesty, bright blast of lemon and bergamot, mellowing into a delicate floral heart of orange blossom and jasmine. This sophisticated bouquet then settles into a soft, ethereal embrace of musky vanilla, creating a clean yet warm aura that feels like a second skin.
