Top notes are Lemon, Bergamot and Mandarin Orange; middle notes are Orange Blossom and Jasmine Sambac; base notes are Indian Vanilla, Tahitian Vanilla and White Musk. Guerlain launches Shalimar Souffle de Parfum as a new interpretation of the classic oriental fragrance Shalimar from 1925, or, better to say, its modern version. Perfumer Thierry Wasser gave a new breath to this legendary scent through a sensual, sparkling and precious interpretation Shalimar Souffle de Parfum that comes in a blue bottle. The scent is a delicate floral oriental. It opens with fresh and light citrus aromas of lemon, bergamot and mandarin. Indian Sambac jasmine and orange blossom water absolute make its sparkling floral heart. Vanilla from Tahiti and from India form the base together with white musk. The fragrance is available as 30, 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum.
