Lalique (new) (2001)
by Lalique

If one were a Disney princess, living in an enchanted castle and dressed in the finest silks and satins, I would imagine that this would be their signature scent. The bottle design itself needs no introduction as it has been designed by the one and only Rene Lalique, one of the most talented and renowned glassware artists of the 20th century.

Soft, feminine and elegant this fragrance exudes beauty and style. It is a scent that will not disagree with any age group, whether it be young or old. Lalique will never offend as its fragrant aroma highlights your charm and inner radiance.

The initial application is one of sheer beauty as the gardenia and black currant blend into a soft and soothing scent. Like a fresh bunch of exquisite and beautiful flowers this scent has the ability to conjure up romantic thoughts and sweep you off your feet. The most desirable aspect of this fragrance was the warmth in the drydown, which became a soft vanilla and musk. The combination of these two scents, which remained very close to the skin, made the experience even more intimate.

I would recommend this fragrance as one that is best worn during the Fall and Winter months, as it has a certain aura that is so comforting during harsh and unpredictable weather. Lalique is such a light, romantic and enchanting fragrance which is a must-buy for every woman that is searching for something to release their inner beauty.

It is not so good, It is not so bad. I think is neutral fragrance.

This floral begins with great intensity, almost headache-producing, then backs off very quickly into a soft musk drydown. I don't detect much woodiness at all in the basenotes, and no oakmoss. Just vanilla/musk. A big whomp, then a little whisper. It was gone in about an hour.

Nice bottle, nice logos, nice "aura", now what about the juice?: This is a very good scent. It's very classy but with the kind of elegance that's understated and that doesn't have to show off to anyone to see how classy you really are. It's a perfect fall season scent too. It's warm enough and fresh enough to adapt to the situation you are in. It's very much a floral, the rose, jasmin and iris are all there to comfort you, and there is also a hint of fruits that develop into one of the very nicest vanilla , sandalwood and white musk bases i have smelled.
A winner!

It is classy & refined. It isn't sexy. I feel like I'm at an afternoon tea while wearing this. The bottle isn't as fancy as many of Lalique's designs but it is cute. This doesn't last long on me at all. I wouldn't pay full price for this as the staying power is horrible.
