What do reviewers say about Allure Sensuelle and Shalimar Souffle de Parfum?

This is Chanel doing sensual the Chanel way, which means polished edges rather than raw heat. This is a sophisticated skin scent that whispers rather than shouts.Allure Sensuelle

The vanilla turns gourmand. That's the difference between this and the original's roar. Powders out where Shalimar would have blazed. Softer, yes. Makes it undeniably its own.Shalimar Souffle de Parfum
