What does Shalimar Souffle de Parfum smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer. It is chosen for daily wear, leisure and the office, while night and evening come second. Half of the voters call its character feminine, with modern and classic votes close behind each other.

It opens with lemon, bergamot and mandarin orange, a fresh citrus lift. Indian jasmine sambac and orange blossom water absolute add a soft floral heart. The base of Indian vanilla, Tahitian vanilla and white musk leaves it sweet, gourmand and creamy. Chanel Coco Mademoiselle L'Eau Privée and Yves Saint Laurent Cinéma have a close profile.
