I don't know but something at application really turned me off on this fragrance the first day I tested it. Something funky and slightly gag inducing. I found the musk took over within 15 minutes and that was dominent (and not in a good way) the rest of the time. I didn't smell flowers or fruits except possibly at the beginning. Good lasting power. I tested it a second time thinking maybe it just didn't react well with something on my skin the day before and I did get a different reaction. The second time I found the opening had a bit of a mediciny masculine smell with a tinge of Vicks Vapor Rub whistling by my nose which must have been due to the bay note. The fragrance was more spicy and this time the musk was not as evident and vanilla did finally peek it's head out. I certainly like the second day better than the first.

I have been oblivious of this perfume existence. Browsing the store gorgeous bottle caught my attention. Ice shaped cube and red scarf. Same as the package design the content of the bottle is exquisite. I was surprised! Warm and sweet oriental with lively notes of citrus and pepper. Reminded me on Guerlain L`instant, that’s how good it is.

The day I tried Lalique outside was bellow zero, the perfume blended with my skin as glow, and kept me comfortable and warm. It is not long lasting, so it should be reapplied often. Lovely Lalique!

I like Lalique Le parfum a lot. It is a perfect scent for winter with its warm and creamy sillage. Though it is a rich oriental fragrance it remains a bit conventional somehow so that you can wear it on a daily basis. Luscious vanilla scent!

This is love at first sniff. Smells classically French!

As other reviewers already mentioned, it's elegance in a bottle.

I'd also like to add that it's highly versatile and can be worn to most occasions. I can see it being suitable for a job interview, an office job, a client meeting, a romantic date, a night out with friends, etc... at least that's how it expresses itself on my skin.

The bottle and the box are both stunning - saying more with less.
I've always wanted to own a René Jules Lalique product, not only because i like his fragrances, but mainly because of the history that's behind those bottles' designs.

I remember studying briefly about him in Art School. I first heard of his contributions to the Art Nouveau movement. Later, i discovered that much of the redolence filling those creations is quite divine.

This one in particular, really spoke to me. I just love how the Pink Pepper mingles with the Heliotrope and the Jasmine, while the West Indian Bay Leaves follow quietly. It's a very calming, yet feminine scent, and i guess that's why it makes it feel so classy.

This reminded me a fair bit of Gucci EDP (the brown liquid one), which I had for a while then swapped away, because I found it a bit too...something, woody or spicy. This is perfect though, like a more refined and perhaps slightly sweeter version and not so heavily cloying with the spices. Its got some vaguely gourmand vanilla thing going on, but it's subtle, and to me this smells really expensive, I know that sounds dumb but thats what I think when I wear it. Or maybe I should say elgant, yes it smells elegant but warm at the same time. I am surprised it has pink pepper in it as I dont always do well with pepper notes, but this is all so well blended that the pepper doesnt overpower and is therefore not a problem. I have a sample for now but Im going to buy the FB. I don't normally comment on presentation but I really love this bottle.

Luxury in a bottle.

guest_anna

This parfum is very sexy,very French and elegant!It is sweet and strong,but not very much,normal.I like vanilla,heliotrope and jasmine in it,my favorite parfum!

isalim

gorgeous little flanker - the smell reminds me of arabian oud, its rather rich and cloying in its opening. I have to agree with loveperfumes in that it takes a particular kind of woman to wear this perfume, and a particular lifestyle.I prefer this one for the winter, or perhaps even a special occasion on a cool summer night.

linaverona

It smells really heavy at the beginning but after some time ,like all real french perfumes, it gets very feminine and seductive and discreet.I like that in a perfume and it lasts on your skin for a long period of time!

I am a big fan of Ropion,the nose behind it,but I didn't like this creation.An overdose of vanilla destroys Le Parfum's chance of unfolding a more intriguing evening character.Way too flat and predictable.

I must add though that it is truly long-lasting. The peppery note is strangely evident in the sillage, mixed in the creaminess, making it undeniably inviting.

Lalique Le Parfum is a sweet oriental perfume. Its pretty strong at first, but the scent loses a bit strength til the drydown. In my opinion its crazy to mix hot pepper with tonka bean, hmm what can i say 'it works pretty well', gives me a dizzy feeling, but in a positive way. This scent screams sweetness "look im sooo sweeeeet, there is enough of tonka bean+vanilla from first sniff til the last residue". So all people who are fan of sweet scents (like me) would like this scent, im pretty sure. For daytime wear would it be a bit overwhelming, but its just right for nightlife and special occasions like theater visits or something similar.
The bottle is really lovely, made of heavy glass, shape is a square, the liquid has a light golden tone and a nice red drawstring adorns the neck of the bottle, even suits well to the scent.
My second favorite of Lalique perfumes.

First I came across this scent mentioned as favorite of the chief editor of Russian edition of Glamour magazine (all chief editors of world editions reported their favorite scents). Since then I have tried it many times and can’t get rid of the idea that it was created exactly for a glamorous business-woman. It is all about being a successful, mature, posh and strong personality. The scent is relevant for solemn events, as a reflection of a healthy balance between intelligence, character strength, nobility and unabashed glamour.

The opening is oriental: rich, bright, mature, sweet. Then the evolving goes through a few stages, the dry-down is semi-sweet veil of vanilla and tonka bean with spicies. It is not easy to describe its evolving step by step due to its complexity. I can stop feeling it on myself pretty soon while still getting compliments on it, it is the best case scenario for me because otherwise I might feel “ noblesse oblige”.

So, the conclusion is I like this scent very much but I am not in a hurry to buy it because it takes some certain lifestyle to be in harmony with it. I rarely want to seem glamorous at business meetings or solemn at romantic ones; I don’t feel like wearing silk, lace, pearls every day. However I believe, one day I will buy this executive-class scent.

P.S. The pure perfume in crystal bottles that have been exposed in central Moscow shops is really gorgeous and very pricey.

My favourite in the Lalique line.
It's soft and classy, but it has something different from other oriental fragances. It has something clean and soapy, and a chypre side (but not "old chypre" style). Very good perfume for any time of the day.

LadyJedi

A rich, warm and powdery soft oriental fragrance - one of my favourite jasmine and vanilla combinations ever!

vivie

I love this perfume. its rich, sexy, and very classy. i treated myself to a bottle from Harrods London in 2005. and use it for those very special occasions.

esprit2fly

I had a sample. It's very sweet, but too heavy for me.
