Since 1888, René-Jules Lalique has been the mastermind behind the French brand Lalique, creating intriguing jewellery designs, exquisite home décor, and magical crystal-designed perfume bottles.
Lalique entered the world of fragrance in 1992, and the best Lalique perfumes continue to delight with their seductive aromas of fruits, flowers, musk and wood.
I visited the Lalique perfume counter in the fragrance department of Harrods of London to discover the collection for myself.

3. Rеve d’Infini Eau de Parfum
Review
With fruits, flowers, wood and musk, Reve d’Infini Eau de Parfum is a vision of elegance and femininity, portraying the endless beauty of a woman.
The opening of this fragrance is bursting bergamot and rose-scented litchi, with beautiful white freesia, jasmine, pink rose, and succulent peach in the heart.
Dry-down reveals plenty of musky aromas, with vanilla and sandalwood hovering in the background. It settles to a fruity, musky scent that I found incredibly easy to wear.

Freesia, Peach, Rose, Jasmine, Cedarwood

Benefits & Drawbacks

| Cons | Not for those who don’t enjoy musky scents |
4. Lalique Le Parfum
Review
Lalique Le Parfum is a very unusual niche-like scent that brings richness paired with elegance and sensuality.
The opening unleashes fresh tangy bay leaves (which I love!) and pink peppercorns complemented by fresh bergamot zest.
Soft heliotrope, jasmine, and almond in the heart never dominate; the vanilla explosion in the base stands out the most, with touches of wood. The blend of bay leaf and vanilla is a striking combination.
Top Notes:
Bay Leaves, Pink Peppercorn, Bergamot
Mid Notes:
Heliotrope, Jasmine, Almond
Base Notes:
Patchouli, Sandalwood, Vanilla, Tonka Bean
Seasons & Longevity
This rich scent is perfect for colder days or nights, warming you up and daring you to expect magic to happen.
The longevity of this scent will hug you for six+ hours, and the noticeable projection will leave people nearby craving more.
Benefits & Drawbacks
| Pros | A timeless nich-like perfume that smells alluring and mysterious |
| Cons | The opening does take some getting used to, but soon settles |
5. Amethyst Eau de Parfum
Review
Lalique Amethyst Eau de Parfum is a fanfare of fruits supported by flowers and musk that’s incredibly similar to Meliora by Parfums de Marly.
Your breath is taken away by a harmony of juicy blackberries, raspberries and blackcurrants, with a touch of green.
Hints of ylang-ylang, peony, and wild rose in the heart are supported by a woody base, enveloped nicely with musk to complete the journey.
Top Notes:
Blackcurrant, Blackberry, Blackberry Leaves, Raspberry
Mid Notes:
Peony, Rose, Ylang-Ylang
Base Notes:
Musk, Woody Notes, Vanilla
Seasons & Longevity
I recommend this fruity, perfect for any season, leaning more toward daytime wear.
Amethyst Eau de Parfum will intoxicate the air with its marvellous fruitiness for 5+ hours.
Benefits & Drawbacks
| Pros | An intriguing fruity fragrance that smells expensive and niche-like |
| Cons | Not for those who don’t like fruity berries |
6. Satine Lalique Eau de Parfum
Review
Satine Lalique Eau de Parfum is a romantic and sultry powdery vanilla fragrance that will certainly turn heads.
Beautiful aromas of sweet jasmine and powdery heliotrope florals are lifted by a heart of pink peppercorn, tonka bean, and soft vanilla.
As this fragrance dries to a powdery vanilla blend, sandalwood adds smoothness, with vetiver and earthy patchouli making a discreet appearance.
Top Notes:
Heliotrope, Jasmine
Mid Notes:
Tonka Bean, Vanilla, Pink Peppercorn
Base Notes:
Sandalwood, Patchouli, Vetiver
Seasons & Longevity
I recommend this magnetic scent for colder days, to give remembrance of sunnier days, but to be content in the cooler perfections of life.
Satine Lalique Eau de Parfum will take you through a 6-hour day; projection is discreet, creating a small scent bubble.
Benefits & Drawbacks
| Pros | Mysterious powdery vanilla fragrance |
| Cons | Lasts 6+ hours but does not project particularly well |
