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."

Due to the comment from Freddy2010, I got a sample of Comandante about two months ago, and although I think it doesn't smell much like tobacco, let alone honey, I somehow got hooked on it and have added to my collection. Back then, I imagined a kind of blend between Tobacco Vanille and Tea for Two, but what I get in my nose is more of a mix of the feeling of ice candies, not the minty/eucalyptus-like, don't get me wrong - it's just the coolness, and later on a hint of tobacco. At first, I don't smell any tobacco at all, later (after about two hours) a little bit, but no trace of thick cigars; I imagine a very light, delicately scented tobacco. I might get to the vanilla eventually - or maybe not, we'll see!
The homepage of jtcperfume depicts Comandante! with an image of people indulging in significant thoughts in stylish rooms under pictures of famous important people, letting cigars circulate and always being "In control," which either means something like "being in control" or "having the reins in hand".... Hmmm, if I had read that before trying the scent, my built-in rebelliousness (or also post-pubertal incorrigible stubbornness) would probably have made me dislike the fragrance, a scent intended for elite people! Pffff!...:-D
But it's too late, I smelled it without prejudice and I like it!

Addendum: applied this morning at 6:00 AM, tobacco perceived, around 8:30 AM, appearance of something like vanilla around 10:30 AM... No trace of honey so far.

Somehow, I assumed that a zombie scent should smell like one imagines the smell of zombies, calling to mind a scene from the first season of "The Walking Dead," specifically the one where some of the main characters smear and drape themselves with freshly slaughtered zombie entrails - for the purpose of camouflage! That's pure zombie!
Demeter zombies smell different, not meaty, certainly not rotten or decomposing, but earthy, musty, at best a bit damp and moldy. Perhaps this is how the zombie lady camouflages herself when she wants to hunt down still-living humans, disguised with the cozy scent of a large houseplant that was overwatered and then forgotten in a dark basement for a few weeks (to ensure the mushrooms grow), before the poor little plant was brought back out into the bright sun, its leaves shriveled, the soil still wet and musty...
Zombie for her definitely creates an impressive scent cloud, which could perhaps cover up any zombie odors, and it can also be a longer hunt, as the longevity is quite remarkable... I couldn't detect any scent development, but I must admit I didn't hold out until the end.
I can't think of any occasion for the scent... maybe a zombie walk? Or I could save it for the case that I get bitten by the undead despite the zombie survival guide during an epidemic and mutate... with my last functioning braaaaiiinnn cells, I would then remember Zombie for her...
