Launched in 1997 by Olivier Cresp for Lalique, Claire de Nilang is a floral fragrance that captures the essence of a fresh, crisp day. The scent opens with bright notes of bergamot and coriander leaf, which seamlessly blend into the heart of freesia, pink pepper, black locust, and hibiscus. These notes create an intriguing contrast between sweet and spicy, making it both vibrant and complex. The base of vanilla and sandalwood adds warmth and depth, rounding out a composition that is as dynamic as it is elegant.
