Guerlain Shalimar Souffle Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Thierry Wasser. Shalimar Souffle Intense opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vanilla, and Benzoin. Guerlain's Shalimar Souffle Intense carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

A modern masterpiece for vanilla and citrus lovers, Souffle Intense is rightly adored for its deep, sensual aroma, though some find it a touch masculine. The hype is real; it's a huge shame Guerlain binned this one.

About

Opens with a zesty burst of bergamot, lemon, and mandarin, quickly softening into a lush heart of orange blossom and jasmine. The real magic unfolds as it dries down to a rich, creamy base of benzoin and vanilla, wrapped in a subtle, airy musk. It’s a sophisticated gourmand with an oriental twist, never cloying, always enchanting.
