I invite you to leave a comment below (for example: of why you liked the fragrance, describe the scent, time period or age you wore it, who gave it to you or on what occasion, what it smelled like to you, how it made you feel, any specific memories, what it reminded you of, maybe a relative wore it, or you remembered seeing the bottle on their vanity table), who knows, perhaps someone from the current Guerlain brand might see it. If you have any questions, please send all images of your bottle and pertinent information directly to me at cleopatrasboudoir@gmail.com. I will try to assist you the best I can.

Shalimar Souffle de Parfum Collectible Flacon c2015

Shalimar Souffle de Parfum Collectible Flacon by Guerlain: launched in 2015. This is only a limited edition collectible flacon, with no change to the perfume.





From Guerlain:
"Once upon a time, there are four centuries, the borders of India ... The madness of an unusual love. For his divine wife, Mumtaz Mahal princess, Emperor Shah Jahan, is drawing the lush gardens of Shalimar, setting their passion and the Taj Mahal, marvel admired by the whole world. Today Thierry Wasser reinterprets the legendary perfume Shalimar through a blast of extreme sensuality. Shalimar Souffle de Parfum is a scented caress, real light and captivating creation. The time of this collector, the iconic bottle is adorned with a unique décor delicately drawn by unveiling transparency games. The bare glass lets out the delicacy of a bluish gray juice sublimating golds Shalimar. 
Floriental tender.
Fresh, bright, cocooning.
 
Shalimar Souffle de Parfum flies on bright and sparkling citrus notes of bergamot, lemon and mandarin. 
The heart, bright, leaves room for Indian Sambac jasmine brewed associated with an unprecedented note of orange flowers water absolute. 
In the background, vanilla from India and Tahiti exalts a delicate sensuality, while the overdose of white musk reveals its addictive and enveloping facet. 
To sublimate orange blossom honey and give it a purpose, Thierry Wasser has used the absolute of orange blossom water. This absolute comes from a very specific treatment. A first step, distillation, produces orange blossom water, and then, extraction, used to take the absolute valuable. This powerful absolute strengthens the floral scent of the fragrance."
