Shalimar Souffle de Parfum Guerlain 2014

I probably should have checked what "Souffle" actually means beforehand; I had my head full of delicious, juicy dessert variations, sweet, spicy, and with a heaviness of ingredients disguised in a supposed lightness.
With these expectations, I (blindly) ordered the new Shalimar in great impatience from France, not yet knowing that "Souffle" simply means "breath" or "whiff," and that I was absolutely wrong in my expectations of Shalimar's typical oriental opulence.
Now the package was here, nicely wrapped, the blue bottle is also very beautiful, the color of the perfume itself a light sea blue, very pretty and something different for a Shalimar.
The scent itself is very citrus-heavy in the first minutes, almost a bit too sour/sharp for my nose, but that fortunately passes quickly. The bergamot/citrus fruit combo is very pleasant; there are no sweet candied fruits (like candied orange peel), rather full, ripe fruits from which the zest is freshly scraped off, very nice, but where is the Shalimar in this Shalimar?
I don't notice any jasmine as it develops, or at least nothing stands out to me; the fruits become a bit weaker, and the whole thing becomes a little "bitter," but in a good way, like the bitterness in Bitter Lemon.
Towards the end, which I think comes far too early, the longevity is not good for me, about 4-5 hours; after a generous spray, I can only perceive a very light whiff, and that only with my nose directly on my wrist, then a hint of vanilla from the original Shalimar comes through, very delicate and shy.
In summary, I like the scent, but I still need to recover from the shock that this shy little water carries the name Shalimar, which for me is associated with oriental opulence. However, I will get used to it, and in spring and summer, this Souffle could become the Shalimar of choice if the others don't dare to come out of the cool cellar...
Or to quote Sferics: "the Shalimar for people who don't like Shalimar."
