by: Sandra Raicevic Petrovic

Besides the latest edition Living Lalique to mark the year of 2015 of the house ofLalique, a new collection of fragrances inspired by precious metals was introduced. It arrives after last year’s collection Lalique Noir Premier La Collection and follows the tradition and style of the house. Flacons of the new collection Lalique Les Compositions Parfumees Collection were created in the same style as the flacons of men’s fragrance Hommage a l'homme Voyageur presented last year, made of blurred glass with a black stopper.

The latest collection Lalique Les Compositions Parfumees includes the following editions: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Electrum and Zamak. "A harmonious blend of metals melted together as perfume raw materials arrive united in a collection of beautiful and unique fragrances. Five different fragrances are based on alloys of metals and precious metals".

Fragrance Bronze brings a composition which unites rose, violet and lily of the valley providing pink color to the bronze. The heart encompasses tuberose and orange blossom providing ardor and beauty while the base introduces musk, amber and vanilla, to highlight sweetness of the beautiful Dive. Opening notes of Silver provide cardamom, lemon and thyme as silver stars that awake all senses. The heart adds galbanum and Haiti vetiver to accentuate elegance while the base contains leather, patchouli and labdanum leaving a leather-chypre trail. Bergamot and lemon provide shine to Gold . The heart incorporates iris, Egyptian jasmine and lily of the valley, sophisticated flowers that possess the quality of gold, while the base closes with benzoin, patchouli and vanilla blended to imitate its richness. Electrum is the fragrance that starts with a union of bergamot, freesia and pear. When blended together, they offer coldness to the metal. The heart of the perfume features rose, jasmine and sandalwood to emphasize electricity, while base notes incorporate patchouli, Haitian vetiver, amber and musk and create hotness and add yang to yin. A spicy zing and the strength of metal in the fragrance Zamak are highlighted by top notes of bergamot, mandarin and pink pepper. The heart blooms with orange blossom, freesia and nutmeg to create elegance, while cedar, black leather and vanilla provide strength to the metal.

Fragrances of the collection Lalique Les Compositions Parfumee are available atNeiman Marcus as 100 ml Eau de Parfum priced at $250.
