What does Shalimar Souffle d'Oranger smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn and winter far behind. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Daily wear, evenings and leisure time lead the occasions, and it fits the office too. Half of the voters read it as feminine.

It opens with a fresh, green citrus brightness. Toward the heart, jasmine sambac and neroli add a floral softness. At the base, orange blossom absolute, vanilla and sandalwood sweeten it into a creamy, lightly powdery and woody finish. Dior Eau de Dolce Vita and Chloé Chêne have a close profile.
