Shalimar Souffle Intense, the new bewitching fragrance

Originally, in 1925, there was Shalimar, an essence synonymous with mystery and seduction . Over the decades, this iconic Guerlain fragrance has made millions of followers. It is now a great classic in perfumery and a true legend. Today, Guerlain has decided to reinterpret it and write a new page in its history. Shalimar Souffle Intense takes us into a new universe. As seductive and provocative as ever, it displays a more floral and oriental scent than ever, transcending the intoxicating breath of its predecessor.

Shalimar Souffle Intense, a fragrance worthy of a great love story

Guerlain perfumers have always been very attracted by the riches of the Orient. Many times in their history, this part of the globe has served as a source of inspiration. Shalimar therefore tells us the story of Emperor Shah Jahan and his beloved, Mumtaz Mahal. Their romance took place in the 17th century in India.

Two varieties of this ingredient are associated here. Shalimar Souffle Intense contains vanilla from Papua New Guinea (Tahitensis) and Madagacar (Planifolia). The white musk finally comes to close this recipe, reinforcing its sensuality and its sweetness.

The return of the famous Guerlain bottle

Shalimar Souffle Intense is presented to us in an iconic Guerlain bottle , designed by Raymond Guerlain himself in 1925, in collaboration with Baccarat. It is a chiseled pedestal basin inspired by the movement of water that gushes out of a fountain in the gardens of Shalimar.
