The Eau de Parfum bottle has been designed by Lalique’s Studio de Création. Its talented designers have drawn their inspiration from “La Perle Noire”, a flacon that René Lalique created in 1924 for Forvil, and from the whirlwind movement of a dancing woman wearing a pleated skirt. The folding box has been designed by the well-known French agency Aesthete. Thierry de Baschmakoff has imagined a very simple and elegant box matching the nude colour code of the product. He played with the traditional Lalique band to give it the aspect of a ribbon… another beautiful feminine attribute. Lalique Parfums pays tribute to women in movement, one of René Lalique’s favourite inspirations.
