Shalimar, Lifted Into the Light
Description
Guerlain Shalimar Soufflé de Parfum is a luminous, airy and deeply sensual reinterpretation of the legendary Shalimar — one of the most iconic fragrances in the history of perfumery. Created in 2014 by Thierry Wasser, it captures the mythical spirit of Shalimar through a fresh, sparkling lens, making it more accessible and modern while preserving the legendary warmth and sensuality of the original.
Sparkling citrus top notes of lemon, bergamot and mandarin give way to a radiant heart of white florals — orange blossom and jasmine sambac — before melting into Shalimar's iconic vanilla base, here rendered softer and more gossamer with a blend of Tahitian and Indian vanilla and white musk. Presented in Guerlain's signature blue bottle.
