Nilang Lalique for women

Nilang is quite unique as noted, but not altogether comfortable for wearing because it's odd. On a whim I decided to wear it on an uncomfortably hot day. I found that in the hottest weather the perfume comes into it's own. It really suits heat, real heat. So now I can upgrade to love, because it's a pleasure to apply on those days when the cold water runs hot and shorts and tanks are all I can bear to wear out. The bottle is stunning and worth owning just to admire on your dresser.

I dug up old version Nilang in these Christmas days. It brings back strange memories: the taste of blueberries of a cough syrup which the pediatrician -an old, perfectly shaved and perfumed gentleman- used to prescribe to me. It was extremely sweet and alcoholic, and I adored it, to the point that as a child I wished I had a fever to be allowed to drink it.
The opening of Nilang is quite similar to this comfort balm. Then comes an incredible tenderness: as a walk through the "Asian plants" in the botanical garden. Water flowing in the background, water lilies full of nectar that hatch at dawn with the first rays of the sun.
The pink magnolia gives the fragrance a sensual and earthly aroma: that of sweat on the first cleavage tan.I'd like to kiss anyone who would bring this fragrance on bare skin, in a spring morning. But winter is long, and spring is late to arrive.

I agree with Allexa27: looks a lot like Angel Peony

The top notes reminds me of Miracle Forever. Evolves sweet and dense, and becomes similar to Angel Innocent, and this stage is that it stays longer. The base, however, resembles the base of Angel TM.

I think pink top is EDT, and green is EDP.

My favorite Lalique !!!
It is very similar to Miracle Forever!
Love that one too!

Does anyone know the difference between the bottle with a green/blue cap, and with a red cap that I have?

The first spritz may be nauseating, there is just too much at once getting on my skin, covering it with sweet and sticky fruit juice. Then the scent settles down nicely and mildly, revealing pralines and vanilla. Tonight I am giving it a try, and hope nobody will eat me :) However, it is not my type of perfume there is nothing uplifting or inspiring there.

Ughh this is the only fragrance that makes me gag. I bought it only beacuse of its bottle. But it is a mixture of herbs, marinery scent and spices which makes it disgusting. I can tolerance heavy scents like Shalimar (and which I love) but this is more than heavy it is disgusting and La Prairie Silver Rain is its sister which smells very much alike but softer still makes me gag.

Lalique NILANG is definitely unique: an oriental floral perfume with an aquatic facet. This is odd enough that it could have been put out by a niche house, but instead it was Lalique. The fact that it's still around 16 years after its launch despite the complete absence of marketing--I for one have never seen any!--places NILANG in a special category of perfumes: the few, the proud, the survivors!

I like NILANG with its lotus, water lily and blueberry mingling with sandalwood, vanilla, and caramel, and I do not find it overly sweet--certainly not when compared to the sugar sprays available everywhere today. NILANG is rather strange but likeable and worth a sniff to anyone who appreciates oriental perfumes, and also those who do not, as this creation has a playfulness and levity which may appeal to them as well.

Now THIS is a gorgeous perfume AND a gorgeous bottle!! True art!

Very heady, sugary and fruity for the first hour or so...like thick, wet clouds of pure mango puree (there's a slight tangy nuance to it that reminds me of ripe, sweet, mangoes), peach syrup and vanilla icing...truly luscious, but I see how it can be cloying to some noses...it really is intensely sweet, but without being heavy (thanks to the balancing aquatic notes). After the first couple of hours, it mellows down to a softer (but still very sweet), powdery, fruity-floral, 'almost gourmand-but-it's-not' scent... to me it's neither warm nor cool, but a balanced neutral...I wouldn't wear this one in very warm or hot weather, it would get cloying. However, Nilang would be just perfect for rainy days in spring, or summer evenings, or early fall, just before the weather starts getting cold. Lasting power and sillage is good for an EDT, it stays strong the first couple hours before finally calming itself down to settle on the skin. Overall, I like it, it's a very charming, flirtatious feminine scent that is suitable for all ages :) If you are a fan of strong and heady fruity-floral-sugary scents, give this one a go, it has a bit of a fresh/watery edge, so that adds a uniqueness to this baby....seriously, grab this one if you can find it! It's rare, and hardly anyone wears it so that's a big plus.

This is a beautiful fume.I agree that it really doesnt fit in any offactive group.Its in a group all of its own.It smells like one that has been oaaound foreons.Like the mythical goddesses would have worn it.It has a pure note that stands out.IN the water lilly and narcissus.Then the surprise of blueberry!Finally we r treated to a pure vanilla white musk dry down.All in all the queen of fumes.

Interesting...This fragrance has a warmth (on me) much like Flowerbomb...I'm always amazed at how each and every one of us has such a different chemical reaction to fragrances...What smells like hell on one person smells like heaven on another...

it`s smells exactly like Angel Peony.Very longlasting

It's a pity Nilang is so hard to find - I bet it would easily become a fave for most floral-orientals lovers. It is a well-rounded fragrance, smooth and creamy, with a definite lotus note. IMO it is suitable for spring and autumn kind of weather. Great lasting power, too.

Fruit and something expensive. This somehow blends completely and smoothly into an overall scent that is elegant and fruity at the same time, something I've rarely come across. There's a note like face powder in there somewhere that gives it that 'made-up' look I love in perfumes. Coherent, well-structured and complex. Lovely.

Nilang is a unique aquatic floral oriental scent with a sensual and gourmand edge. After a sweet, floral - aquatic start it develops a fresh, slightly bittery floral heart with a sweet, praline edge. I cannot distinguish any particular notes apart from a zesty and bittersweet cranberry - roasted nut accord. Nilang is then rounded up by a balanced, gourmand, sexy and sweet base which is not typically oriental but a warm, homely blend with a rich, sexy kick to it.

I dare say Nilang has been one of my most interesting discoveries as I have not yet found a fragrance that is even remotely similar to it. An eau de toilette with a strength and staying power of an eau de parfum, amongst connaisseurs it is still very popular and there are times when it's practically unavailable online.

Nilang is extremely innovative in terms of blending together different olfactory groups and managing to make it unique, beautiful and irresistable. Either to add to your collection or to wear it, Nilang is a rare gem, that should never be forgotten.
