Fleur de Cristal

Fleur de Cristal, a kind of olfactory tribute to René Lalique

The soul of the maison Lalique

René Lalique stands as an unmissable figure of the last century. He truly revolutionised the art of glassmaking, transforming raw material into exceptional works of art. In particular, he created perfume flacons that rank among the most prestigious in the world. What is more, René Lalique helped make luxury flacon design accessible to all, transforming the world of perfumery and paving the way for the one we know today. Nowadays, the maison Lalique boasts, thanks to him, a unique heritage. It is therefore perfectly logical that the brand pays tribute to him through this essence. René Lalique drew his inspiration endlessly from the heart of nature. He was also a true admirer of women. He saw them as muses capable of creating infinite inspiration. Fleur de Cristal thus appears as a concentrate of the soul of René Lalique. It is a floral composition based on lily of the valley, a delicate flower that always fascinated the artist. Nevertheless, the little bells are worked here in a more abstract manner, for a result that is both highly feminine and contemporary.

The airy scent of Fleur de Cristal

To create this olfactory tribute, the maison Lalique called upon perfumer Raphaël Haury. He crafted a particularly modern juice. Lalique has always shown a visionary spirit and Fleur de Cristal sits fully within the continuation of that legacy. This perfume opens with a truly fresh breath. Bergamot from Calabria is accompanied by pink berries for a particularly luminous result. Likewise, sambac jasmine enriches the whole with its opulent richness, releasing the most sensually honeyed wafts. There, lily of the valley makes its appearance at the heart, unveiling its most fruity facet and an immaculate whiteness akin to that of crystal. The fragrance then becomes truly radiant, as if illuminated by a dazzling light. The whole then wraps itself in musk. Fleur de Cristal thus transforms into a true seductor, ultimately leaving behind a softer sillage of sandalwood, cashmeran and amber. Furthermore, everything is housed in a case that symbolises Lalique's unparalleled savoir-faire in flacon design. The Fleur de Cristal bottle is the fruit of unprecedented innovation. Its injection moulding indeed forms multiple lily of the valley bells, delivering a work comparable to that of a goldsmith of absolute precision. The whole is also designed with an utterly feminine contour for a refined, entirely transparent modernity.

Heir to a unique heritage, the tribute Fleur de Cristal had to be the sincere echo of René Lalique's work: an infinitely modern perfume. Thus, a new olfactory chapter opens with Fleur de Cristal, an abstract lily of the valley in a bottle uniting history and modernity.

Drawing his inspiration from the nature that surrounds him, René Lalique is also a lover of women, dedicating to them ornaments, jewels, perfume flacons, vases... It is therefore entirely natural that Lalique Parfums dedicates this new line to women today, and that lily of the valley with its delicate bells has imposed itself: a symbol of renewal that fascinated René Lalique.

Floral, Fresh, Musky. Striking from the very first breath, Calabrian bergamot accompanied by pink berry unveils a luminous freshness. Irradiating the composition, Sambac jasmine, honeyed and sensual, opens progressively like a petal in the light of day. At the heart, a bouquet of lily of the valley and stephanotis echoes the fruity pulses of the jasmine. Crystal sparkle, ray of light, immaculate whiteness: the sun reflects its softness on every petal. Enveloped in musks, this Fleur de Cristal breathes on the skin and, like a whisper of seduction, leaves in its wake a woody savour of sandalwood, cashmeran and amber.

A true signature of elegance.

A resolutely modern bottle.

The glass bottle containing the Eau de Parfum Fleur de Cristal is the fruit of unprecedented innovation. The moulding and injection of lily of the valley bells into a Surlyn band is a new process in the field of perfumery. An ultra-feminine object, with sensual roundness and elegant curves. A bottle of rare modernity, playing with purity and transparency. In this bottle, the Eau de Parfum is available in two sizes: 50 and 100 ml. A signature of Parfums Lalique, the box is decorated with the traditional
embossed band, playing a contrast between matt silver, shiny silver and white.

An artistic piece: La Cire Perdue.

For Fleur de Cristal, Lalique Parfums sets a new challenge for the Maîtres-Verriers de l'Usine de Wingen-sur-Moder by reviving an exceptional technique unique to René Lalique: the Cire Perdue. Created in a Limited, Numbered and Signed Edition of only twelve pieces, this bottle with its unique texture resembling a "crystal skin" is composed of a core of lily of the valley bells, filled with the perfume Fleur de Cristal in its extrait version.
