Lalique Le Parfum (for women)

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.

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.

Luca Turin gives this perfume 1 star and calls it “Rock bottom”. Usually I agree with him, but not this time. I think this perfume is absolutely beautiful. Spicy pepper, cool jasmine, warm heliotrope, sweet vanilla and dry sandalwood – classic notes for almost every oriental fragrance, so what’s so special about this one? It’s modern, minimalistic oriental. It’s got a class, but you don’t need an evening dress to pull it off. While most orientals says: come closer, you know you can; this one says: come closer, but keep distance. It’s like a city girl with her wild side kept under expensive office suit, and when she takes it off you are surprised how sexy she is.

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.

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

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