Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“Lalique de Lalique Fougères Crystal Edition 2022: Classic Floral Elegance”
The opening of this fragrance is a nostalgic nod to nineties perfumery, led by a bright and clean jasmine accord. Fresh pear adds a watery sweetness, while a sharp touch of clove prevents the start from feeling too simple. It feels crisp and structured, immediately declaring itself as a classic floral rather than a modern sugar bomb.
As the scent settles, the fruity middle notes become more prominent. The blackberry note is tart rather than syrupy, balanced by the herbal bitterness of black currant leaf. Underneath this fruitiness, the powdery texture of orris root starts to emerge, giving the middle phase a dry, cosmetic feel that clings to the skin.
The base relies on a reliable combination of sandalwood, vanilla, and white musk. The sandalwood is dry and clean, avoiding any creamy sweetness, which keeps the floral elements in check. The vanilla is subtle, acting as a soft anchor rather than a dominant sweet note.
On the skin, this behaves like a traditional French perfume, projecting moderately for the first two hours before settling. It lasts about seven hours in total, making it ideal for spring daytime wear or formal afternoon gatherings. The cool air of early spring helps the green black currant leaf and jasmine notes stay fresh without becoming heavy.
This is not a casual fragrance to throw on with a t-shirt. The structured floral profile fits a polished wardrobe, appealing to collectors who love classic compositions. The high price tag reflects the crystal bottle craftsmanship, making it a luxury statement piece.
For most buyers, the standard Lalique de Lalique bottle offers the same scent profile at a fraction of the cost. However, if you are a bottle collector who wants a piece of French glassmaking history on your vanity, this limited release delivers both visual and olfactory elegance.
