The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Electric Purple by Lalique was launched in 2018 and is a creation by Nathalie Lorson. This fragrance melds the vibrant energy of fruity accords with the fresh crispness of green notes, creating an invigorating contrast. The composition opens with boysenberry and black currant, which are balanced by the zesty freshness of grapefruit and mint. As it develops, violet leaves and moss offer a lush, earthy backdrop, while patchouli adds depth and warmth.

How to wear it

Electric Purple has a lively opening that fades relatively quickly. A generous first application ensures the rich heart notes have time to develop. This fragrance reads better close to skin rather than across a room, so layer it on for an intimate effect.
