A decisive meeting
René Lalique, a glass artist and exceptional master of transparency, has become famous in the world of perfumery since 1900. Following a meeting with the perfumer François Coty, the two designers will revolutionize the world of perfume by designing original bottles. Since 1992, date of creation of Lalique Perfume, the company has created fragrances and limited edition of collectible and numbered crystal bottles. Its name is attached to creativity and quality.
1900 – Fleur Universelle
At the peak of his career as a jeweler, René Lalique is exploring a new form of expression: the glass and crystal. The everlasting flower, around which was designed fragrance, boasts the special feature of never fading. It symbolizes here Lalique’s perpetual quest for aesthetics and passion for renewal. The sweet notes of the immortal are associated with rum, myrrh, cinnamon, patchouli and a sparkling-spicy note of cardamom.
1905 – Terres Aromatiques
The perfumer François Coty believes that each of his creations deserves a unique bottle and René Lalique finds a way to produce luxury bottles in large quantities. Thus was born the modern perfumery. A nod to François Coty’s Corsican origins, the star ingredient here is the thyme. Julie Massé added lemon, pineapple, lavender, vetiver and tonka bean. An elegant aromatic-woody composition.

Marc Lalique succeeded his father and turned to the art of designing crystal in 1945. Marc’s innovations became the symbol of the house of Lalique: the contrast between transparency and satin finish known as Sculpteur d’Epices. The composition opens with sparkling bergamot, black pepper and orange, upon a heart of rose absolute, cinnamon and Egyptian jasmine absolute. The base offers warmer notes of of tonka, patchouli and labdanum.
1977 – Fruits du Mouvement
Marie-Claude Lalique, René’s daughter, took the head of the house. As she used to often inspire from living models, the bottle is named after her love of movements. The legend says Marie-Claude bought a dove for the realization of one of her creations.
Built around the prune, the fragrance also includes black pepper, mandarin, jasmine on a more oriental base of amber and sandalwood.
1989 – Élégance Animale
