Lalique

Lalique is famous for crystal, and its signature perfume, Lalique, feels just as refined.

It’s a bouquet with fruit woven through it. Iris, jasmine and rose form the floral core, and the iris adds a soft, powdery outline. Pear brings gentle juiciness, blackberry a darker tang, and black currant leaves a fresh, green edge. Vanilla and white musk soften the base, and sandalwood gives it a smooth woody frame.

Powdery, fruity and gently green at once, it suits people who want a full floral with some brightness. An afternoon art opening or a polished lunch is a perfect setting.

Offered in 3.3 oz, Eau de Parfum.

Givenchy’s Irresistible Nude Velvet offers even more powdery iris. For a rose-led floral with a similar soft elegance, see Chloé. More from Lalique.
