One of those magical moments in the life of a perfume addict and bottle collector: 1992. Harrod's Christmas Catalogue arrived and I can still remember how I stared, unbelieving, at the gorgeous crystal Lalique bottle filled with...Lalique Parfum. A pairing of two loves: scent and bottle. I did not hesitate for one moment and a week later Harrods already had sent their precious parcel. A box with a crystal pendant and in it the crystal wonder Marie-Claude Lalique created, filled with a light ambery liquid. The moment I cut the golden cord and inhaled the beautiful scent I will remember forever. A dream come true.
And now I am enjoying the last drops of this magnificent parfum: 14 years old and still great. Of course Lalique made other, limited editions with this scent, but I never had the nerve of that first meeting: cutting the cord and just enjoying liquid beauty. They discontinued their first parfum and none of the others has evoked that feeling of wonder and amazement of that first time.
Top notes: Gardenia, Blackberry, Mandarin, Orange flower
Middle notes: Peony, Orangeblossom, Jasmine, Tuberose, Damascene Rose, Magnolia, Ylang-Ylang
Base notes: Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Oakmoss, Vanilla, Musk, Amber
