The collection of Lalique fragrances exudes unique elegance and sophistication, while their special luxurious editions are truly breathtaking. Among the latest editions of the luxurious crystal flacons, one can single out LALIQUE L'AMOUR CRYSTAL EXTRAIT DE PARFUM and the new crystal flacon Lalique de Lalique Plumes Limited Edition 2015 Extrait de Parfum, for cult fragrance Lalique de Lalique.

Women’s perfume L'Amour was presented by Lalique in 2013 with a floral-woody-musky composition. The composition is signed by perfumer Nathalie Lorson, who created it as an olfactive confirmation of love. The fragrance opens with citrusy bergamot drops touching neroli petals and gentle rose buds, while the heart blooms in the rhythm of a rich white flowers bouquet: tuberose flowers, gardenia and cold jasmine. The base is created of  dry and warm cedar and creamy sandalwood, with a fine trail of addictive musk. This feminine fragrance, according to the house of Lalique, provides
"sensual, floral notes and is elixir of pure seduction."

The new crystal flacon brings us an 80 ml perfume extract of perfume L'Amour. "A Japanese prince chose René Lalique to create four large stained glass windows for the ceremonial doors of the drawing room in his Tokyo palace (now the Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum). A masterpiece of style and technical prowess whose main figurative motif pays tribute to a majestic woman surrounded by radiant wings that adorn her in feathers. Garlands of flowers escape from her hands and extend into a decorative band. L'Amour reveals René Lalique's love for women and flora."—Lalique.

The luxurious fragrance flacon arrives in a specially created box with a stylized golden cage which keeps it safe (ceremonial glass doors). When we lift the lid of the box we can "open the glass door" decorated with the same symbol decorating the basic L'Amour bottle. The new master-piece of the house of Lalique remains on the pedestal. The flacon is made of stained glass, with a decorative ribbon in pale pink color. The fragrance can be purchased at Neiman Marcus at  the price of  $1800.

Another luxurious edition by Lalique honors the first fragrance Lalique de Laliquefrom1992, for which the designers of the house launch a new, elegant flacon every year. Lalique de Lalique Plumes Limited Edition 2015 Extrait de Parfum also arrives as a limited edition in crystal flacon based on a design by René Lalique from 1910. The flacon features Petites Feuilles (small leaves) of rosemary which cover the body of the bottle, subtly, as waterfalls, one layer over the other. The falls gently round up the "shoulders" of the flacon and cover its whole body while drawing plumes, which is particularly accentuated with a stopper inspired and created on the role model of the Lalique Geneviève powder case from 1920. A pair of doves symbolizes stability and harmony for their life-long partnership, together with the sophisticated texture of palm branches. The elegant motif is inspired by the symbolism of ancient Egypt where palms were considered a symbol of fertility.

Base notes accentuate cuddly vanilla, musk and  Mysore sandalwood. Limited edition is available as 100 ml Extrait de Parfum priced at 1200 eur.
