I got this one from fragrancenet. it is very watered down version, does not last and weak projection. skin scent, a mere shadow of origin. It is good if you only want your boyfriend/lover/husband/mother to smell it. nice smell. bottle design is okay. peacock with purple color. good design but does not give me that luxury impression.

I bought this mainly for the beautiful bottle, I just couldn’t leave the shop without it, it seemed to special not to add to my modest Shalimar collection. Once I actually tested it I loved it- it is definitely a much lighter version than the original, but still very beautiful. I think its perfect for summer, and wear the original for winter. It did smell to me like absolutely delicious lemon meringue, light and airy but still had a surprising longevity and sillage. The vanilla is still pretty much the same vanilla that I adore in the original, and have nothing bad to say about it even if I am not normally a fan of flankers. I need to buy this in a normal bottle so I can spray away, its too precious in this peacock bottle to waste lightly.

I own the 2014 flanker and I can’t detect any difference. Soufflé is an easy to wear citrus and vanilla fragrance. I can’t imagine anyone being bothered by it, and it’s light enough to wear before bed, appropriate for any season.
And yes, I’m a sucker for the beautiful bottle and that’s why I bought it.

I have most the Soufflés. AND YES, I got this one for the bottle. Xox

Yes, I got this for the bottle! But it smells pretty good too. It actually reminds me more of Chanel No 5 L’Eau than Shalimar. Like this could be Shalimar’s version of L’Eau. Or more like If L’Eau was it’s own pillar, Shalimar Souffle de Parfum might be its’ more vanilla-heavy flanker. “Chanel No 5 L’Eau – Vanille Extreme” or something… The big difference is that C#5 L’Eau opens with a bright, sparkly citrus accord and the vanilla is way in the background making things sweeter and creamier, and SSdP is the opposite, opens with a powdery cloud of vanilla with the citrus flavor in the background. The vanilla to citrus ratios are different.
If you consider orange flower and neroli as interchangeable, then C#5L’E and SSdP have 7 notes in common (and more if you lump all the citrus into one note.)
Anyway, if you can resist the beautiful bottle, you can get the same juice for MUCH cheaper in the basic bottle. SSdP feels like it’s Shalimar’s version of C#5L’E. (Well, I guess actually it would be the opposite since I just double-checked this came out in 2014 and L’Eau not until 2016!)
I suggest looking at this without thinking about original Shalimar because they are both very similar and very different. But comparing the two is like comparing a mere mortal to a Goddess. (But it’s still nice. I finally have a Shalimar I can wear to the gym!)
Edit – It’s bedtime here and I just sprayed this on my pillows and oh my! This is one of those perfumes that smells even lovelier on cloth! I’m going to have some pretty dreams tonight!

This is pretty and light and airy.
Not too sweet, and with a light citrus scent.
Perfect for the office or daily use.
It won’t offend anyone.
It doesn’t last long on my fair skin – or maybe my nose becomes immune to it.
I layer it on top of original Shalimar Body Creme to help boost projection.
It’s a safe fragrance to wear, and projects a classy edge.
I think females of all ages can comfortably wear this.

I was admittedly only purchasing this at first because of the bottle. I usually don’t do such things as I find it to be rather frivolous, but I luckily found myself head over heels for the scent. I had tried it before and while I enjoyed it, I didn’t get any Shalimar connection and I also just found it a bit too dense. Once those phases passed, I found myself wearing it almost every day for over a month. It’s an incredibly heavy scent, despite the name. Mostly a meringue pie, sweet and citrusy, but also quite full of jasmine of the non indolic variety. Exceedingly beautiful for me.

Excellent Fragrance !! will definitely catch compliments
And by saying this, I do also mean it will dominate your presence in the crowd.It has good sillage and you do smell vanilla notes right from the moment you spray.
Combination and jasmine and vanilla spreads sweetness but at a same time gives a firm definition to your personality.This fragrance has a sense of maturity and best to be worn by women in 30s to mid 40s.
It has a mysterious character as the fragrance keeps jumping between Jasmine and vanilla and so you can never really point out which one is dominating.
Would recommend to be worn at casual home parties with friends or families.. Also if you are going for the first time at someone’s place for party as it will create a welcoming first impression on others. Good to be worn for Concerts or operas..
Do not recommend this for the Date nights or couple dinner dates as even though a nice fragrance but will dominate in the less crowd making it intruder in the conversations .

I didn’t enjoy the opening part very much it was full of citrus but the dry down is amazing. Full creamy vanilla and jasmine. Almost like lemon cheesecake 😀 Lovely.

O my God thank you Guerlain! A friend of mine in Paris who work in the Guerlain store she gave it to me. This is the newest Shalimar. I have an old Shalimar that my grandmother she wore it when she was alive but this is so much better! Soft and powdery fruity feminine not unisex with good long lasting scent. For me this is so luxurious! I love the citrus the vanilla and the flowers. This is modern and sexy and I love the blue bottle. My friend she told me this is only a limited edition and they sell this as the regular Shalimar Souffle in similar blue bottle. This is delicious like vanilla cake. The flower of orange blossom rose and iris I can smell. Clean and sweet for woman.

I like Shalimar Souffle and would be very tempted to purchase it if I could find this very attractive bottle.

Same fragrance as the solid blue bottle, just in a special edition bottle. Lovely juice in a lovlier bottle.
