The Guerlain Shalimar Souffle de Parfum is a modern incarnation of the classic Guerlain Shalimar fragrance from 1925. Its creator, Thierry Wasser, has preserved the style and breathed new life, a fresh breath, into the legendary composition. Souffle represents perfection. It is associated with profound femininity, refinement, and the unique natural charm of a young woman. The scent is sensual, as if filled with radiance.
Fresh notes of bergamot, citrus, and mandarin mingle at the start of the composition, allowing you to inhale the freshness of blooming spring. Orange blossom and Sambac jasmine at its heart awaken in you a feeling of being in love, which gradually evolves into a deep, true love. This is ensured by white musk, enchantingly sweet Indian and Tahitian vanilla.
The light, delicate composition of the Guerlain Shalimar Souffle de Parfum creates a wonderful mood, enveloping its wearer in a seductive aura.

I bought it based on reviews. (Many say it is similar to Allure Sensuelle). I have the Allure Sensuelle perfume, so I can compare. Yes! It is similar! For the first five minutes, when the citrus bergamot and mandarin peel open up... it's a citrus explosion!! I was delighted. But then it all calms down and I can smell vanilla and a slightly bitter and smoky prune, probably due to musk. There is no lemon souffle or lemon zest here (as bloggers describe it, confusing jasmine with lemon zest). There is no sweetness, I am not familiar with Shalimars at all. I used to wear Insolence by Guerlain (a winter complement, but I got tired of it and gave it away), and I never wanted to try anything from this house again, because I was afraid of powdery scents and vanilla. Strangely, this fragrance sounds quietly gourmet, it seems to be more suitable for warm seasons rather than winter. And that already pleases me, that the vanilla won't suffocate. But the most important thing is that when the citrus notes disappear, I can smell on myself a perfume that has long been discontinued, the Decadence perfume with a bottle shaped like a green handbag with a chain. Well, that's my perception of this perfume. I really liked the bottle. It is perfectly sealed, you can't tamper with it. The delivery was from the EU.
I really, really liked it! I wear it with pleasure! The intensity of the scent can be adjusted by the amount of sprays.
I will add to my review. I haven't touched the perfume for almost a month. It has actually settled now and smells delicious. Like oranges, vanilla, and something else. Now I really like it. But I don't think it has a long-lasting scent. Although, what does it matter? The important thing is that it feels cozy to me. It suits me. Makeup, thank you.
This fragrance is absolutely luxurious! It combines both citrus and vanilla notes, and I never even imagined that the combination could be so delightful. Thank you, Makeup, for offering such a pleasant price. I am definitely shopping with you again!
At first, it has a sparkling, citrusy and floral notes, and then it becomes powdery and beautiful. It is probably more suitable for the cold season.
Today I received my Shalimar souffle 50ml with delivery from the EU, and I will share my first impression – love at first spray did not happen. The purchase was unplanned, without testing, but the price was attractive. I will give it a chance, let it warm up, but I could have done without it. The MAKEUP service is as excellent as always, and the courier Vasil is the best!
I blindly bought Shalimar based on the reviews and after checking the base notes, etc. It has an exquisite fragrance. In one word, it's Guerlain... It has a very long-lasting scent that sounds luxurious, and it has excellent staying power. As always, thank you to the makeup artist for the fast delivery (considering it was shipped from the EU, it arrived in a week).
I received my Shalimar Souffle! I am impressed! Even through the packaging, I can already smell it, without even opening it! It truly is a scent of a fairytale about bright love! Soft and gentle, slightly sparkling, the citrus notes do not overpower the composition. It is wonderful! Thank you Makeup for the gifts that came with my order! And there are four of them! All of them are a perfect match for me, both in terms of skin type and tone! Grateful!
Great!
A masterpiece fragrance! I am very satisfied!
Thank you, make up!
It's amazing, love at first taste. I bought it blindly and what a surprise. It's not overly sweet, delicious, and quite unique.
Great scent. It bears a striking resemblance to Lancome Hypnose.
I simply love it!
The Souffle is a great choice for spring, but its longevity could be improved.
I absolutely love this perfume, it reminds me of Chanel Allure Sensuelle, which I also adore! The price is great, and so is the perfume! Thank you, Make Up!
Two years ago, I fell in love with this beautiful fragrance. And today, I finally received it... Oh, it's love. It is magnificent. I can't break it down into notes. It's like a "complete composition". It suits confident and elegant women over 30. It has a very prestigious feel. But there is still something retro about it... So exquisite, delicate, with a rich trail. In this fragrance, you feel like a queen. You want to adjust your crown and walk in red shoes along the carpeted path. Number 1 in my perfume collection. Number 2 is Yves Saint Laurent - Libre.
The fragrance is amazing! As soon as I received it, I tried it without any hesitation, and I immediately heard the exact scent of Chanel Allure! The next day, the smell was different, barely noticeable hints of the classic version, citrus and a light vanilla! I really love the classic Shalimar, and now I have another favorite, Suffle! It's such a pity that it's already been discontinued.
I bought two bottles of perfume on Makeup. One was 50 ml from Europe and the other was 90 ml from non-European country. The price was the same, with a difference of 150 UAH.
So, the perfume from Europe is more vibrant and the bottle is flawless. The one I bought from Makeup has a defect near the neck of the bottle, like streaks on the glass. At first, I thought maybe the bottle was dirty, but it shouldn't be dirty at all. Overall, I have read reviews from you about purchasing perfumes from trusted suppliers. So, please inform your suppliers to at least provide perfect bottles, even if they sell counterfeit products. Sorry, but I haven't seen any defects on the packaging of perfumes in my personal collection, which consists of more than 30 elite perfumes, purchased not from Makeup.
You don't need to write a response to my rant.
Thank you.
At first, I was disappointed with the smell of this men's cologne. However, after resting for two weeks, it revealed its true essence. For me, it is a variation on the theme of the classic perfume "Jeux de la Vie." I cannot fully describe the range of sensations I feel, but there is definitely a note of vanilla, as well as a multifaceted mix of coffee, powder, something floral, and a touch of retro luxury. It is a prestigious fragrance with a long-lasting, confident, and mature trail, suitable for self-assured adult women. It is incredibly long-lasting and even my wardrobe smells of it from just one scarf. It is important to apply it sparingly, otherwise, it can be overpowering. I purchased it without testing it first, but I would advise trying it before buying. It is definitely more suitable for colder seasons.
This fragrance is enchanting. It is delightful, calm, and serene, almost silent to me. It sits very close to the skin. I only sense the initial notes, and then everything... no separate scent. It feels like a second skin on me, mirroring me exactly. The scent becomes intimate and airy. No wonder it is called "sufflé" - air. It is not overpowering, suitable for a peaceful setting, at home, for comfort, for the closest ones. After a few hours, it becomes slightly louder and more active on the skin, and later on, the characteristic Guerlain base reveals itself.
I am not familiar with the classic, but I really like this one. Guerlain is always top-notch. The perfume has an expensive scent. Overall, I am pleased with this blind purchase. I am very satisfied with the store's service.
I can't believe you're in my hands! My special Shalimar!!! Thank you, makeup, for making my dream come true!
Please bring me a miniature version of this perfume.
I take back my previous comment about the sharpness of the smell. It turns out the fragrance opens beautifully only on warm skin! Before, I applied it on my wrist, on the back of my neck, or on my hair. Today, I decided to try applying it on my chest, where it's warmer. The scent has completely transformed, becoming light with soft, sweet notes.
My mom bought this perfume at a cosmetics store and then gave it to me as a gift. I'm currently tight on money, so I was definitely happy to receive such an expensive present. When I tested it at her place and went outside, it seemed okay, although there was a slightly harsh note right away. But when I applied this perfume at home in my hot apartment, it turned into a sharp, masculine cologne. No sweetness, just one overpowering scent. It cuts through the nose like my dad's strong woody cologne. It's interesting, if I were to give it to my husband, maybe it would suit him? The fragrance is marketed as feminine, but it feels unisex to me. What do you think, would a man be able to wear it without others realizing it's for women?
The fragrance is very sensual. It makes me so happy that my hands tremble when I hold the bottle. I believe this is one of those cases where the flanker is better than the original. I highly recommend it!
I am pleased with the purchase. The scent is stunningly beautiful. There are many flowers, just the right amount of citrus, and a delicate touch of vanilla. It lacks the smokiness found in the classic Shalimar. It lasts for about 7-8 hours. I will be wearing it in the spring and summer.
I purchased a sample to familiarize myself with the fragrance, and I'm glad it was only a sample! Please forgive all the fans of this perfume, but it smells exactly like a car air freshener. It reminds me of the scent in a stuffy bus during summer, especially when there's also an air freshener on the windshield. It's nauseatingly sweet and overwhelming.
Buying makeup is like playing the lottery. I bought a 50ml product yesterday for 1119 UAH, and today when I checked the price, it was already 977 UAH. After half an hour, it went back up to 1119 UAH. I guess I was lucky to buy it at that price. Other than that, everything is fine. The delivery is always fast and convenient.
Thank you so much to the store for the original product and excellent price on the perfume! The scent is simply magnificent, with an incredibly long-lasting and noticeable trail. Makeup-You are the best!
Mmm, my love. This fragrance is very warm and gentle, just a hint is enough. It has excellent longevity.
