It made India one of its adopted lands. Indeed, it was by drawing inspiration from an Indian legend that Jacques Guerlain conceived the perfume Shalimar. This exceptional fragrance was born roughly a century ago, in 1925. Its longevity is also the result of frequent olfactory and aesthetic reinterpretations. In this context, Guerlain reveals to us once again a Limited Edition. Focus on the new Shalimar Souffle de Parfum from 2018.

The leafy, blue-toned bottle of Shalimar Souffle de Parfum Limited Edition 2018

Let us begin by looking more closely at the new bottle of Shalimar Souffle de Parfum Limited Edition 2018. It has exactly the same silhouette as its predecessors. Originally, this bottle was designed by Raymond Guerlain, in collaboration with the prestigious house Baccarat. This earned it the first prize at the International Exhibition of Decorative Arts in Paris in 1925. This footed, fluted flask draws inspiration from the movement of water gushing from one of the fountains in the gardens of Shalimar. Today, it has also taken on their blue tint. Shalimar Souffle de Parfum Limited Edition 2018 is now covered with a lush assemblage of foliage. A tiger, the quintessential emblem of India, has also slipped onto one of its sides.

The limpid freshness of Shalimar Souffle de Parfum

This timeless bottle, brought up to date, reveals the splendor of a very rich and harmonious juice. Shalimar Souffle de Parfum Limited Edition 2018 plays on contrasts, setting an incisive freshness against a warmer sensuality. This perfume opens with a fresh, citrus blend of bergamot, lemon and mandarin. Its heart proves more luminous. Very floral, it heightens the femininity of the woman who wears it. It blends the opulence of sambac jasmine with an orange blossom that is more sun-kissed and lightly honeyed. With great delicacy, Shalimar Souffle de Parfum Limited Edition 2018 closes with a vanilla that is more exotic and bewitching. White musks further enhance the whole and make it more enveloping.

When Guerlain takes hold of an Indian legend

If Shalimar Souffle de Parfum Limited Edition 2018 is imbued with such poetry, it is simply because it draws inspiration from one of the most beautiful Indian legends. This one tells the love story of the emperor Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal, one of his wives. Both protected their love within a palace far from the tumult and chaos of the world. This unique place was surrounded by resplendent gardens called Shalimar. Upon the death of Mumtaz Mahal, Shah Jahan had the greatest of mausoleums built there, known today as the Taj Mahal. It is to this unique place, steeped in passion and history, that Shalimar Souffle de Parfum Limited Edition 2018 movingly takes us back.
