Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

The fragrance is really bright and long-lasting, and its sillage is impressive. The name "Intense" is fully justified, that's for sure. The regular version seems weaker, but here everything is many times more powerful 🌟

I prefer the classic Souffle, it's truly the first in this line of flankers. It smells much softer and more transparent, with more nuances. Intens, on the other hand, seems too dense, sweet, and somewhat monotonous. It clearly has more vanilla and benzoin, and citrus notes are barely noticeable, which makes it lose that 'crystal-like' quality and lightness of the first Souffle. On the skin, it feels like it lies 'flat'. The light vanilla-citrus sweetness that was in the first one is almost absent here. It seems benzoin does its job, and it's not in the first Souffle. I regret choosing Intens. At duty-free in Brussels, there were limited editions of the simple Souffle from 2015 and 2016, I should have gotten them. 'Souffle de Parfum' is definitely better than Intens :((( I hope it 'rests' after the journey and gets better than it is now

I bought this fragrance for New Year's while it was still at a normal price. Honestly, it's simply gorgeous! A true masterpiece from the Shalimar family! Of course, it reminds me of Souffle Lumiere and Souffle Eau de Parfum, but it has its own unique features. The Intens version, in particular, stands out due to its double vanilla and benzoin, which plays an important role here. Unlike previous versions, there are no bright citrus notes in the top accords. The fragrance is richer and less light, even feeling connected to the original. Benzoin adds resinous and smoky nuances. I'm so happy it's now in my collection, it's become my New Year's scent. I adore it just as much as the entire Shalimar line, and the bottle color is simply stunning! 😍

How sad it is to remember what once was. The red, black, and blue bottles - that's a true passion that never leaves. The aesthetics of these fragrances seem to merge with their contents, and that's delightful. The first version of Souffle was light, but this fragrance is more intense, honeyed, mature. That's what's so appealing. The essence of classic Shalimar is already noticeable, but there's something special in it that makes it unique among all intense versions. Alas, such moments won't be repeated ))

This version of Shalimar is simply gorgeous! Wearing it is a pure pleasure. The scent is warm, with honey notes, and the flowers sound so bright and lively. The bottle delights with its deep, almost meditative color - it's a joy to look at

I absolutely love this Shalimar Souffle Intense because it doesn't shout, but rather breathes vanilla and bergamot, without being cloying. On me it lasts about six hours, and in that time it manages to change its mood - from a sweet dessert to a soft powder. A very feminine and cozy fragrance for cool weather 🍦

After trying Souffle EDP, I wanted to get Souffle Intense, hoping for true intensity. But, it seems to me that even though this version is brighter than the classic Souffle, it's still not too loud and quite calm, with no sillage. The scent is very pleasant, as if all the best of the Shalimars were gathered in one bottle. You don't need to wait to enjoy its beauty - it's good from start to finish. On the first day I wore it, I felt it for about 6 hours, but it got quieter with each hour. On the second day, after an hour and a half, I couldn't smell it anymore, but I happily reapplied. No one complained about an overdose, so you can confidently wear it to the office
